We Choose Our life but s**t happens then the "miracle" or "luck"

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2006)

Yes Yes Yes. The movie have a message. If some viewers don't think so! People who watched this movie thinks the movie doesn't have a message. Well, in my locale, everybody seems to agree that it does have a message, but we tend to take things for granted.
The life of crime that the two hit-man had a job for two to send the mysterious briefcase (probably gold bars) to his boss. But on the way they encountered "s**t happens".
Basically the one of the hit-man accidentally shot an informant and they had to get rid of the body. However before he was shot, one of the hit-man had a "revelation" of a "miracle" and interpreted that this miracle was his decision to quit his job as well as making the "right" decision in the cafe robbery as well!
However lack of sense that is beyond the "realms of explanation", Jules made a decision not to further his career and his one last job is simply to successfully send the briefcase to his boss.
The other hit-man refused to believed it and went to continue his job. That decision was to cost him his life, which was shot by a boxer who decided not take a fall.
Perhaps there is a miracle or luck, but we just ignore the "signals". Is that true? The boxer, accidentally forget his father's watch, being so superstitious along with his nightmares and flashbacks, his so called "lucky watch" he had to go back to his apartment to retrieved it. His intuition proved to be a correct one.
He knew very well that by going back that he risked his life of being shot by a hit-man who is probably going to kill him in the apartment. But the fact that he did retrieved the lucky watch, he got "lucky", really lucky. Not only did he survived it, but without spoiling the movie, everything simply turned topsy turvy from bad luck, to good luck and a major reversal of fortune. Something that most logicians would describe as "impossible".
So basically if anyone would ask, hey guy what's Pulp Fiction movie about?
I would simply say, things (s**t) happen, your belief in something can really carry you through inspite of every logical things that could possibly happen. Things will not go as you expect.
You will have both good luck and then bad luck. How you understand an event, whether it makes sense or not, will be a correct one, provided that you don't ignore its signals. Sometimes not only God works in mysterious ways, but our own Unconscious works in mysterious ways.
Things don't have to make sense as long as it works. I learned that the hard way. Thousands of years ago we can't explain why the water rise with the full moon, but we can always predict it. Today we know why, but that doesn't mean we can predict any much more better than the ancients. You don't have to explain to make anything work, it just had to work.
Or in short, Superstitions will happen and it can help you! We leave the explanation later, get results, why can be explained later. Why will not save your life. Results will, regardless of the explanation.
Overall a very good movie with a subtle message, which makes this movie my favorite one. Subtle message are powerful, but once the veil of mystery is lifted, all the excitement just goes away. This movie makes this veil difficult to lift and it makes for a classic movie, of the likes of Casablanca, if only they just eliminate the use of vulgar words!
