Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction

By Quentin Tarantino

Pulp Fiction, which was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, has been seen as a movie in which no other movie can relate. With a series of funny, bizarre and uncalled-for events for over five characters, viewers get to see the ups and downs of the mobster world. This movie is great for anyone who can handle explicit activity and who love to see movies that leave one guessing until the end where everything fits to proportion. Though somewhat lengthy at two hours and thirty-four minutes, Pulp Fiction is sure to have every viewer with different feelings ranging from comedic to tragic throughout the entire movie.

In most movies directors find it hard to fill the entire movie with action or details that the movie is about. This happens a lot, especially when a movie exceeds two hours. When someone hears that a movie is this long, different opinions are already thought of before the movie is even given a chance based on other long movies they have seen already. The reason for the length in Pulp Fiction is because it is based on so many different stories happening around each other within two days. For the first two hours viewers are left in many scenes guessing what happened because the endings of each little story piece together to form the main plot of the story.

The main plot of the story can best be explained as " Even though you may think the world revolves around only you, everything that you do effects someone else weather it is good or bad." Relating to the real world, viewers get a good view on the true mob lifestyle and how it works with payments. As everyone n the story owes something to someone above them in the world, people find out the true meaning of payback and what happens when things get carried too far.

John Travolta is the main character in this movie. Being a hit man for different people has formed a sort of passion for him as Samuel L. Jackson, who plays the second hit man, Jules Winnfield, coaches him through jobs. John Travolta plays Vincent Vega who in the past has had a few run-ins with the mobster lifestyle so he knows how it works. Travolta plays a hit man perfect as the man he was hired to kill subjects him to many different accidents and eventually his death. As Travolta has an incident where he accidentally shoots a man he is questioning, the comedic side of the movie is shown as he begins having somewhat of a childish argument with his partner Jules Winnfield.

Pulp Fiction is a Rated R feature and this allows for the ultimate viewing by the audience. Since a director can show almost anything in this type of movie, viewers are able to see, and hear, every little detail expressed by the characters. This is good for this typed of movie because language and affects play a major role in expressing what is going on throughout the entire movie. At one time in the movie a fight is brought into an old pawn shop and the owner who is a true pervert messes up as he takes Marcellus, the boss, and Butch Coolidge to the back room to rape them. Though this may sound really weird to most viewers the rest of the movie is helped out by this as Butch breaks free and actually saves Marcellus from being violated any more. After Butch saves the mob boss, the two men are no more, meaning that there is no longer a war between the two as Marcellus tells Butch he is to leave town by the end of the night. Though the rape scene may seem unnecessary to some people, it truly gives the viewer a vision on how out of hand things may get if they are pushed too far. This pushes the action side of the movie as Butch kills one of the men and leaves one of the men to the hands of the mob boss.

While watching the movie, viewers can notice the use of key words throughout different scenes in which these key words express much detail. Such key words consist of sayings like "Accidental Death, Katana Sword, and Drug Addict." As the movie
