Pulp Fiction- a bloody masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2011)

Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) shows us people you don't want to mess with.If you do, you will get burnt.A couple wants to rob a diner, but they face Sam L.Jackson's and John Travolta's guns.And Sam gives a speech taken from the bible before pulling the trigger on a man named Brett.Bruce Willis and Wing Rhames meet some redneck rapists, but those jerks face a bloody end, in which a sword is involved.In the lighter moments we see Travolta's twist section with Uma Thurman.And in the last shot, when John and Sam leave the diner, they put their guns in their shorts.There are a few star moments from Pulp Fiction.And then are those actors.Travolta and Jackson, what a pair they make as Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield.Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer make a great pair as the diner couple, Ringo and Yolanda.Bruce Willis as the boxer Butch Coolidge, who kills a man inside the ring, gives one of the best performances of his career.Portuguese actress Maria de Medeiros is very good as his girlfriend Fabienne.Ving Rhames is terrific as the gangster Marcellus Wallace.Thurman is superb as the gangster's wife Mia Wallace.Eric Stoltz is great as the drug dealer Lance.Rosanna Arquette as his wife Jody is great.Steve Buscemi is really something as the Buddy Holly impersonator.Christopher Walken doesn't have too much screen time as Captain Koons, but his performance is memorable.Harvey Keitel is truly amazing as Winston "The Wolf" Wolfe.Tarantino himself plays Jimmie Dimmick.This story is stylish, made in an unique way.It is ultra cool, certainly one of Tarantino's best.Even though it's about people whose lives are filled with violence, you also like these people in some weird, twisted way.And the way they talk, the dialogue they use is really something else.The movie won an Oscar for Best Writing (Tarantino, Roger Avary) and was nominated for several others.At Cannes Film Festival Tarantino got a Palme d'Or.And it got several other awards but I don't bother to mention them all.This is a movie you just can't miss.If you don't want to be a dork.
