Quentin TarantinoDeath Proof “I shot him and his punk ass ran off.”
Death Proof • Slasher films, rape-revenge movies, & the male gaze • Group 1 • Immediately objectified • Butterfly pressured to behave sexually • Making out the night before • Nate (sets limits of consent) • Stuntman Mike: ‘You’re a chickenshit’ • Death • Mere bodies & objectification • Deaths emphasize this: analogous to rape
Death Proof • Group 2 • Flipping the narrative • Absolute control of own sexuality • Violence and liberation • Becoming the monster • Fighting patriarchy with its own tools?
