on twitter, Jessica Chastain says:
“I keep imagining Tarantino spitting in Uma's face and strangling her with a chain for KILL BILL. How many images of women in media do we celebrate that showcase abuse? When did this become normalized 'entertainment'?”

what the hell is she thinking?
in films, where men r being killed, tortured by other men. From war movie to crime to gangster to gunslinger to sword fighting. I think that's be 1k times more than women as victim. When Kill Bill came out, it was hailed as woman as hero for a change, 6 female main char vs 2 male.

and Jessica Chastain says:
“When violence against women is used as a plot device to make the characters stronger then we have a problem. It is not empowering to be beaten and raped, yet so many films make it their 'pheonix' moment for women. We don't need abuse in order to be powerful. We already are.”

my answer:
Hollywood movies are crafted to make money, caters to what people want to see. e.g. 50 Shades of Gray caters to female audience, and is highly successful, similar to Romance Novels that women buy. Kill Bill, is kung fu action movie, it caters to male audience.
