kill bill vol. 2 = a lovely must see for all expectant young mothers April 16, 2006
Ah, so in the second one is where all of the philosophical musings on motherhood come out. It’s a great premise to use a trained killer as an example of how a woman’s priorities change once she is a mother. For most of us, the stakes may not be quite that high, but you might stop swearing, or smoking pot, or letting your mannerless friends hang out at your house; you may give up on a youthful pipe dream to be this or that, or all of the sudden be awestruck by the sense of responsibility that this new life brings (For me, that moment actually came most difinitively tonight when I opened my mail from my daughters’ Jewish day school with an itemized list of tuition and fees on it. Do you know how many trips to the French Riviera I could take on that kind of cash?).
Your heart breaks for the little four year old whose been raised by a heartless assassin. And, of course, I felt a kinship with her when she asked to watch “Shogun Assassins”. My favorite movies as a four year old child? “Circle of Iron”. And BTW, how shocked was I to just realize that David Carradine plays the wise master in that one, too? What is he, like, 107 years old?
Life’s strange growing up with a big brother who actually “gets” where Tarantino is coming from…
