Chiaki Kuriyama starring in Kill Bill I
Bossy Girls comments
Chiaki Kuriyama is little known in the USA. In fact her
best movie "Battle Royale" has been hindered by USA authorities. The movie
is not banned in the USA. It is worth seeing if extreme violence does not
faze you.
One
thing to keep in mind is that it's NOT the gore and violence in the film
that makes the material very controversial and questionable. It's the fact
that the violence is being inflicted by fifteen-year-old characters on
other fifteen-year-old characters. We see plenty of high-schoolers and
college students get sliced and diced on American screens by masked
maniacs. But never have we seen ninth graders kill other ninth graders in
a sustained, wall-to-wall series of violent attacks. Whether we're still
sore from Columbine or not, and whether the rule is codified or unspoken,
there seems to be an age limit to characters that can be killed onscreen
for American movies, which probably explains why BR possesses a
lot of extra shock value to Americans.
It is hard for
mainstream America to accept Chiaki Kuriyama because she portrays a killer
teen girl
That is not what school was supposed to be.
They wanted war? They have it now
These teens will not surrender
