lesbianyuugi:Tarantino’s film is, on one reading, a reductio ad absurdum on the cult of masculinity. It shows a world of powerful men at its absolute, and self-destructive, worst. The film portrays a hermetically sealed, claustrophobic world of gun-loving, trash-talking, violence-prone men and the carnage they leave in their wake. The care-taking, physically intimate bond that Mr. Orange and Mr. White embody is portrayed as something alternative, unusual, and superior within this harsh world. This bond, however, is only possible given the violence enacted against Mr. Orange’s body.
