OK, so I just found out the tagline on IMDB for Kill Bill is "In the year 2003, Uma Thurman will kill Bill".

It's an interesting tag not only because of what recently happened in the news with the very talented David Carradine taking his life in Thailand, 6 years later.
But also because it goes between an actors name and a characters name.
Quentin associated Uma with the revenge motive, while Bill... Well Bill had to justify his actions or try to.
But it wasn't David doing the justifying. It was Bill. Uma was Beatrix, but David wasn't Bill?

This makes sense because of how Quentin consistently views Evil Forces in his work. As necessity, but still dehumanizing.

Oh, and I guess because they had to keep Uma's characters name secret until the last scene.
