![]() People hardly ever defend O-Ren, Vernita or Elle for their part in the massacre, but for Bill and Budd, because their motives were personal they're automatically worthy of consideration. If you ask me there's nothing remotely noble in either Budd's or Bill's point of view, because the whole thing is predicated on the idea that a woman leaving a man who doesn't feel like being left, for the excellent reason that she doesn't want her child to grow up in a murderous international gangsters' underworld, is guilty of a capital offense, not just for her but for a chapelful of other people (but if you can get your baby cut out of her alive and raise it yourself, that's okay, because the bitch had no right to take it in the first place).is for breaking my brother's heart" he really does believe that they all deserve to die, but family comes before everything and, as said in the WMG page, he probably did see Elle killing him coming, but couldn't live with the guilt of killing The Bride in such a deceitful way, so allowed it to happen. All this talk about Budd being a douchebag seems true until you remember what he says to The Bride as she's lying in the coffin: "This.It's just a funny way to show that Beatrix Kiddo is indeed The Bride's true name, by showing her in an elementary school class full of "kiddos" and participating in roll call. I always took the 'Mary Whorehouse' line to be what Beatrix really thought about that kid when she was young.I thought it was to indicate that 'Beatrix Kiddo' isn't the Bride's real name, given that there's also a girl called Mary Whorehouse in there.Another point I think was that once the name was revealed for real, that classroom scene was done to be absolutely sure the viewers understood that yes, that was her name.What was with the scene in the classroom after they reveal The Bride's name?.That these two numbers match is probably a coincidence. A minor nitpick, but I believe that the name actually refers to the five points on the victim's body an attacker needs to strike, not to the number of steps to be made afterwards.But I just can't give it to you that easily), and he chose to stand up (in the movie, in the script he dies standing on a beach) and die. He was completely ready to die (as he says to the Bride: "You will defeat.

Those merely seeking the blood-splattered, broken-bone action of Vol. In my opinion, with this piece, he has done so.
