Black woman in drug war:
-sexually aware
-dominating and powerful control over men
Summary:
Black woman sitting on sofa, legs stretched out and crossed at the ankles; bare feet, smoking a joint
Black woman and man in a diner; she has the control of the conversation/ situation; sitting upright etc, he is slumped in the corner.
Holding a gun to his crotch underneath the table ; phallic imagery, power and control ... Irrelevant conversation before he realises the gun and is shot
Black woman walks off like nothing has happened, goes to toilet to reapply lipstick, showing her control and not caring, his death an insignificance.
Extreme close up shot of her eyes; fades into her eyes as a little girl; scene of her parents being killed by the man in the diner she is irreverent; curled up in the corner; flicks to her standing in the centre of the screen, the other people in the background blurred and behind her insignificantly (shallow shot). Lights up joint and smokes it, blowing smoke onto the screen.
A strong woman who is strong due to her past. Based on the psycho analysis of Inglorious Basterds.
