Except they looked different (something I only caught after the movie started, since it had been long enough since I'd seen part 1 to not catch that in the preview).
he really should have thought of taking off her boots
That sequence should have bothered me, but didn't. We don't learn that she has the skill required to escape burial alive until after she gets buried alive. With any other filmmaker I'd call that bad storytelling, but Tarantino's such a master I let it go.
However, the handy straight razor does bother me, especially since we saw Budd find the other blade in her boot. Sloppy.He's also the only one not killed by Bea
Beatrix didn't kill Elle either.
Well, I still right her off as dead, but if you prefer, "the only one not dispatched by Bea"
he hasn't had anything this juicy to work with in, well, ever
If you believe that, you need to rent The Long Riders.
Haven't seen that. I'll check it out.
that final scene, with her bawling on the floor.
She was laughing, not crying. I read that scene as about relief that it's all over, not grief.
I saw it as one moving into the other.
And why not laugh? Beatrix has BB, no more enemies (until Vernita's daughter grows up), a Karmann Ghia and (presumably) Elle's bag full of a million in cash. The world is at her feet. I look forward to, not a sequel, but some vague reference to or mention of her in a future QT film.
Someday, someone will write a paper on the importance of bags full of money in QT films (with PF as the wild card). I just want to see a scene in a future film in which all the bags converge.
