Quentin Tarantino and other geniuses

Watched Kill Bill II for the umpteenth time last night and I wondered why Qeuntin Tarantino has never won an Oscar? I guess he always has had the wrong luck of making films at the same year when sell-able and blockbuster movies are released. Take for example the year when Pulp Fiction was pitted against Forrest Gump? Now that's unlucky.

I guess he will just go down in History as another great director who never won an Oscar. Another genius is Oliver Stone and his trippy movies. His Natural Born Killers is still my all time favorite and Oh! the soundtrack of the movie rocked! The album was produced by none other than another genius-Trent Reznor -the one man band called Nine Inch Nails and a person with whom I proudly share my birthday-17 May.

Here's my favorite part of Kill Bill Vol 2, where Bill shoots the Bride using a dart filled with what he called, the "Infallible Truth Serum".

Bill: As you know......l'm quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating.

Take my favorite superhero, Superman.

Not a great comic book. Not particularly well-drawn.
Mmm.
But the mythology...
The mythology is not only great, it is unique.

The Bride: How long does this shit take to go into effect?

Bill: About two minutes. Just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego.
Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone.

Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S" - that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us.

And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak......he's unsure of himself...he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.
Sorta like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plimpton.

You would've worn the costume of Arlene Plimpton. But you were born Beatrix Kiddo. And every morning when you woke up, you'd still be Beatrix Kiddo. Oh, you can... take the needle out.

The Bride: Are you calling me a superhero?

Bill: I'm calling you a killer, A natural born killer.

Now, can anyone better such a thoughtful and intelligent script?
