[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1491946, member: 812"] I find it difficult to imagine that anyone would think Bill, Elle and Vernita Green were flat characters. I thought Carradine brought so much weight and compassion to his part that it was impossible for me not to believe this was a real person. Likewise Elle, who you could see had simmered with jealousy towards Beatrix all her life. She'd always been second-best to Kiddo. With Pai Mei, and most importantly with Bill. When Bill calls her in the hospital to abort the murder of the unconscious Bride her responses are perfectly in line with the bitter woman we see in Part 2. Not a flat character in any way. Even Vernita Green, only onscreen for one sequence, provides us with a memorable character. "I shoulda been mutha-f&*#ing Black Mamba." That's a heartfelt statement, specific to that person in that situation. She, too, hated the Bride -- you could see it clearly. I mean, we all have our own opinions, but I think that the idea that the characters in this film are FLAT is hard to support. I welcome efforts to do so, however. [/QUOTE]
