Ummmm, it is from an autobiography or perhaps about the writing of one, isn't it?
So the fixation on the protagonist seems kind of hard to get around...

"a male fantasy: shit all over two women, including a woman who bears you three children and whom you will not marry, and when you're severely injured, they flock to help you and voice concern."
If you want to read morality into it, it would seem that "act like a prick and become paralysed" might be closer to the mark.
As for comparing it to Kill Bill I cannot see where you get that. I would have thought the fairly recent film to compare it with would be The Sea Inside.
Enough! If you didn't enjoy it, then so be it, but since the point of seeing films is, hopefully, to experience an almost out-of-body experience, to be transported to another world, and you weren't then the rest of us are sorry for but we GET IT.
Move on and find another film that you GET and tell us about it.
This isn't really a film crit class.
There is no right and wrong.
But I can tell you from personal experience, writing about something you like is much more fun than writing about something you don't!
