David Carradine

Amanhã, havendo tempo, escreverei sobre esta estranha e ainda não completamente desvendada morte, que me apanhou de surpresa, a notícia a aparecer-me no precioso Google Desktop quando eu estava a fechar isto.

Tinha uma voz linda. E Kill Bill (principalmente o volume 2) é um dos filmes da minha vida. Terei de escrever sobre ele, tão antagónico parece ser em relação a mim. Não é?

Gostaria de poder pôr aqui agora um fragmento da assombrosa banda sonora do filme, mas terá de ficar para depois. Fica só este grande monólogo:

Bill: As you know, I'm quite keen of 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, but the mythology; the mythology is not only great, it's unique.
Now, the staple of the superhero mythology is; there is the superhero and there is the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spiderman 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 Spiderman 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 that 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 Plympton.
