You'd have to like his style to like his films

I watched "Kill Bill Part 1" a couple of days ago. I think it's fun to watch Quentin Tarantino's films including "Kill Bill", but not everyone agrees. I can kind of understand why many people are not too crazy about his films and their critiques are also reasonable. But I do have some response to the critique, and the followings are some of points made by non-Quentin Tarantino fans and my responses to those points.

Critique 1: Martial Arts in "Kill Bill" is unimpressive.

Response 1: Probably a fair point. Probably to those who have been practicing some type of Martial Arts for many years find that Martial Arts in "Kill Bill" is unimpressive. Actors and actresses did practice for a period of time, but certainly not for years. But "Kill Bill" is not exactly a Martial Art film like Bruce Lee films. In my view, Martial Arts is used to show people fighting with direct physical contact, without any use of guns or advanced weapons to emphasize physicality. Martial Arts is used to express strength, anger and discipline, but "Martial Arts" itself isn't exactly the center of the cinematography. It's more of a part of story telling.

Critique 2: Violence in Quentin Tarantino's films is funny.

Response 2: Most of Quentin Tarantino's films are very violent, yet they are funny. There is a scene that a man is raping another man in "Pulp Fiction"; it is a horrible act, yet the scene appears funny. The way in which violence is portrayed like this is apparently quite distasteful to some people. Understandable, but here's the thing. Moral, ethics and common perception cannot dictate how films are made. In fact, films, in many cases, should challenge moral, ethics and common perception; otherwise, there are few things left that films can express. While I understand that some people find making violence look comical and funny is distasteful, but I'd like to give credit to those films that challenge one's perception.
