But on Tarantino's overt Sadism. Most striking is the repeated presence--pure and unadulterated presence too--of homosexual sodomy and rape. In _Reservoir Dogs_ there is the discussion between Micheal Madsen's character, Vince, and Chris Penn's character, i can't remember the name righrt now, of Vince's stint in prison and the buggering that occured. In _Pulp Fiction_ there is the sodomistic scene involving Marcellus, Butch, Maynard and Zed (and the Gimp). Thre is a good deal of violence directed toward the "good" in RD. The most obvious example being the cutting off of the cop's ear because, of cuorse, he's a cop. Sodomy, especially homosexual sodomy, ahs tradionally been considered the most blasphmous acts: whence Sade's love for it. chris --- from list nietzsche-AT-jefferson.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
