I haven't seen Ella Enchanted, but I've watched Kill Bill several times and your analysis gives me quite a lot to think about! It also makes me think about Burton's rendering of Alice in Wonderland and how it tries to (and fails, I think) portray female empowerment. Have you written a review of that as well? (I'm off to go see...) Excellent piece, Ken. I haven’t seen Ella Enchanted, but I’ve watched Kill Bill several times and your analysis gives me quite a lot to think about!

Very well and carefully written. When I saw the title of your blog (1more film blog) I thought it was going to be just that, but your analysis here is very apt and comprehensive. So often a postmodernized version of an old story never escapes a kind of hypocrisy, because postmodernism is so afraid of making statements and being vulnerable. Behind all of the glitz postmodern leaves a surprising number of major issues untouched. That's why it's unsurprising that Tarantino's film manages to make statements where Ella Enchanted doesn't. Tanrantino has, well, to put it vulgarly, balls. Hey, thanks for this insightful post. Very well and carefully written.
