John, the LSadean themes in Tarantino are even more prevelent than
the Nietzschean ones, although thre is a good deal of overlap
between Nietzsche and Sade. 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.
