Kill bill Vs Thirupachi

I know off many movie buffs, who claim tamil films stretch the suspension of disbelief to extreme levels. I often agree with them, especially when I watch movies like "Thirupachi". Here is a man from an unknown village - lands in chennai- encounters the most dreaded villains- and kills one by one by directly challenging them- outsmarting the smartest of villains as well as the police force. I felt this was the maximum an action movie would go in the name of suspension of disbelief.. till I saw "Kill bill"

After high recommendations from the aforementioned movie buffs, I ended up watching this movie. At the end of the movie, I became of a big fan of ... VIJAY!! People call Quentin Tarantino 'cool'. It beats me why uttering the F Word 100 times makes a movie cool. I am not exactly against Sex or violence in movies. But I wonder if excessive supply of these two makes a movie cool enough to ignore the stupudities you woul see only in Karnan movies like Jambu.

sample this

- When a women goes all the way from US to Japan to face the most feared DON, she goes in with a sword? And none of the hitmen there have guns? Need not be AK47s. atleast a peretta?

- And this women happily carries the sword in the Plane, dangling as a hand luggage? which airline is this?

May be Vijay and Rajini should say F*** 10 times before killing the villain. That should make them "cool" I presume.

Kill Bill is not a movie to be ridiculed for its logic...yes it is violent, yes it is gory and yes it is illogical, but it is so because, it is intended to be...But a Tirupachi or a Thirumalai is actually intended to be serious (all screen-facing dialogues and all)...but its actually funny...Kill Bill is a tribute to all those martial-arts movies and comic books that QT happened to grow up on...

Stupidity is something that appears foolish, when it is actually intended to be serious. Thats what Vijay and Ajit films are...for that matter thats what most of the tamil hero-screen-facing-dialogue movies are...

Next thing u will probably do is compare Spiderman stunts to Vijay's stunts...
