The Death Proof

I love movies with karmic endings, especially those that involve killing off some sort of villainous force. And I don't hesitate to say that either. 

There's something about Taratino's filmmaking that appeals to the struggle of human nature. In the first part of the movie, we see three, very innocent, albeit scantily-clad girls get killed, rather viciously and graphically on-screen, for no apparent reason. Then again, do serial killers really need a reason to kill? The serial killer, played by Kurt Russell, seemed to target girls who appeared to be wild, carefree, and risque--individuals free from the oppression of men. During the latter half of the movie, after a fantastically-shot chase scene, the serial killer finally got what he deserved. The three girls, thanks to some amazing stunt work, ultimately outwitted him and gave him a brutal beating so bad-ass and blood-gushing that would make any sex offender run the other way. 

Death Proof reinforced my penchant for movies with endings that cater to the inner vindictiveness of human nature. It's incredibly aggravating when villains are the ones getting to enjoy the fun and getting away for it. Tarantino's films have a history of successfully pandering to two crucial elements that makes films satisfying: He creates enough suspense to keep the plot well-oiled and wraps every little nuance up deliciously! 

Although this entry may seem to be far removed from the premise of a complaint, I sometimes wished my life would play out like a Tarantino movie--but to a much lesser degree (I am no borderline schizophrenic, after all). I often wonder why there are so many rotten, detestable people out there and not enough of those who truly take action to triumph over these social defiles. I recently had to eliminate two people, who sown the seeds to a petty rumor about me, from my social circle, and, to be frank, I am glad I did. Since then, I've made it known that I will disassociate with people who solely thrive only on gossip and do anything within my ability to make their lives harder. Let the sabotage begin, bitches!

Creating your own good ending has never felt so empowering :)
