Quote: "Jean Claude van Damme's Kickboxer is also an amazing film. Surely it critises society in exactly the same way as Pulp Fiction does."
That just shows that you didn't understand anything
Ok i make an attempt to explain you!
Pulp Fiction is critizise on society! If you don't see that then I regrett but don't blame me for your dumbness! It's obvious! Just some examples:
-Samuel L Jackson as very pious killer who always quotes the bible when he kills someone! DON'T YOU SEE THE CYNICISM IN THERE????? if you don't then why am i wasting my time?
-SL Jackson and John Travolta talking about hamburgers in French while they have actually other problems...
again cynicism
Now Kill Bill is a little more difficult not that easy to see for a stuper
Just an example, which should show you my opinion and there are plenty of similar scenes!
-While those guys from the deadly viper assosiation are beating the bride suddenly the mobile phone of those stupid woman (don't remember here name anymore) rings... and she answers like she was in her office..
-> cynicism
now why is this funny? Because it's CYNICAL! CYNICAL MEANS CRITISIZE IN A FUNNY, HIDDEN, BUT VERY HARSH WAY! That's why you laugh about it although it's actually bloody serious! There are many authors who use that style to critisize society! You should maybe read a few of those books!
And Jean Claude Van Damme has no film in which society is critisized, maybe you'll see that sometimes!
And no, a film doesn't have to critisize society in order to be good, but it can be good when it's critisize on society!
Once upon a time in the west isn't critisize on society but it's GREAT!
BTW you may be shocked if i tell you Simpsons is critisize on society! BUT IT IS!
