Quick sidenote: this/these is/are my favorite movie(s) of the past many years. Utter masterpieice(s).
Volume 1:
Complete destruction. The physical beast in man (or woman rather) that comes out when all is lost in the world. Beatrix enacting her revenge beginning with the first prick, the raping and prostitution that Buck engages in, the physical conquering of adversity that is Beatrix' atrophy, O-ren's takedown of society, and of course Hanzo's revenge on his enemy (reasons withheld).
Volume 2:
The mind game. Yes the same amount of violence is present, albeit without nearly as much fancy camera work as in the first, but this is more a mental battle than anything. Budd recognizes that Beatrix deserves revenge, but "kills" her anyway, Elle knows that she deserved a true warrior's death and even if she got her ass handed to her, at the crux of the matter she knew it was just (one of my few assumptions of characters in this flick). Bill accepts his fate, not without a fight being the murdering bastard that he is, but still takes it like man in the end.
Discuss.
