The monologue that killed Bill Superman was completely misunderstood
By Drew Dietsch | publishing
One of Quentin Tarantino’s most memorable moments Kill Bill When this evil Bill paralyzes the hero bride aka Beattrix Kiddo and waxes it in his opinion of the Superman character.
This is a great writing David Carradine has professionally published in his greatest screen roles.
Unfortunately, it is so beloved that many people occupy it with their apparent value. They think Bill’s view of Superman is legitimate. This tells me that they didn’t see the forest of trees at this critical moment, either a practical assessment of Superman or a practical reason for the scene.
Bill can’t see the real Clark Kent or Superman
Bill’s key flaw in readings of Clark Kent and Superman is his fundamental misunderstanding of the characters of Clark Kent and Superman. He can’t see Clark Kent as a thorough performance—the Christoper Reeve movie has a more shaped view than a comic book—and Superman is the real identity because it’s the character he was born to.
Anyone who has a better understanding of the character’s history and story knows how the character actually reversed. Although Clark has this incredible legacy that helped him with his character, he grew up with Clark Kent and lived his life as Clark Kent. Until later, he took the Superman character and made it a performance that blends his truest self.
Eventually, he found that a healthy life balanced both sides of his alien lineage and his native American growth. It doesn’t actually reflect Bill’s perception of the character at all. This seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the character.
That’s why remember Bill is the villain of the story.
Villain twisted hero control another hero
this Kill Bill Superman monologue takes place in a very important driving force in the story. Beatrix Kiddo uses the super truth serum bill to call it “the undisputed truth.” Bill is using this situation to argue with his superhuman comparison that Beatrix is cheating on his own life.
Beatrix does admit that she is trying to escape the harsh emotional truth of anonymity, but she also fires her daughter. She will find a way to be happy. However, because of the need to control Beatrix, Bill eliminated the chance of chasing.
That’s the real purpose of this scene and monologue: Beatrix, who controls the narrative, tells himself. Beatrix’s determination is undermined by the twisted views of Clark Kent and Superman. Even if he truly believed in his opinion of Superman, he did not support it as the writer’s mouthpiece, nor did he make some grand creative arguments. He is a character about manipulation, and his twisted conception of Clark Kent and Superman is just more manipulated, both about the truth about the character and about Beatrix’s truth about himself.
See, let me boil it down to a more relevant framework of discussion: Do you believe what Lex Luthor said when Lex Luthor describes his personality assessment of Superman? If you don’t listen to that villain, why listen to Bill? Both of them use their perspective on Superman to actually push their own evil agenda.
I love Kill BillI love Superman, I love this scene. But now is the time to stop using it as a worthy criticism of Iron Man. Instead, look at what it really means: a bad guy who knows what a good guy is so that he can continue to be a bad guy.
