one of the most important films of all time

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2003)

I just recently finished watching pulp fiction for what seems like the millionth time and I thought that I'd share some of my thoughts and feelings about this timeless piece of film. This is my favorite film of all time. It ranks right up on my top ten. Every time i sit down and watch this movie, I lose track of time and I'm sucked into this fictional world. There are a million things that I love about this film. First there's the story structure. Tarantino loves to turn his movies upside down and inside out. He follows a non linear story telling structure. Some people dont like this form of storytelling. For me I think it's a good idea that I usually dont see that often in movies. The dialogue in pulp gets fresher and fresher after each viewing. The reason why i think it does this is because most movies i see have the same type of dialogue. So when i see a movie like this it still seems new to me. A conversation about fast food before the hitmen go to kill off some guys usually doesnt occur in movies. Tarantino knew this when he wrote it and is very original. Another thing I love is the camera. It seems like it is a character in and of itself. I also like the actors in this film. I just wish i could step into their shoes and experience the world through their eyes. My favorite of all of them is Sam "the man" Jackson. His character is very well developed. The dialogue that he is given becomes somewhat of an entity. Upon many viewings I caught different things I had not noticed from before. One example of this is in the opening sequence. When I saw it for the first time on dvd I caught john travoltas charcter walking to the bathroom while pumpkin and honey bunny are talking. That and many other scenes just get better and better each time i see it. By the end of the year I'll probably have had watched it for the trillionth time. When I have kids of my own I will show them this masterpiece. And by the time im old decrepped and in a retirement home I will have seen it to an eternity. Pulp Fiction is by far one of my favorite films and it should be seen by anyone who likes film.
