thehefnerIn the recent Onion interview, David Carradine was asked about the inclusion of a line that might have made Bill's actions (or those that happen to him... I ain't spoilin' this bad boy!) at the end of the film a bit clearer. The response?
"Yeah. There used to be a line in it about that, but Quentin cut it out. He wants to leave some of the mystery of it. He wants the audience to be talking about why he does this forever. A playwright once told me, "Here's what you do. You take situations and you build a perfect globe with the story. The problem is that nobody gets to see inside it. So you cut it in half and you show half the story, then let them make up the rest of it." Because otherwise, it's opaque. If you tell them everything, they'll have nothing to think about."
And that... is a very good point. Why should everything be explained? That's the thing, Kill Bill 1 was great, but like Chinese food, didn't stay with you that long. But Vol. 2 was a film of substance, and I'm STILL thinkin' about that damn film today. Man, I need to see it again.
I'll be keeping this idea in mind as I revise my play.
