The worst review I have ever written

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2003)

I have seen this movie many times and I still haven't figured it all out because it is a very complex movie. I could go on and on about hidden plot meanings that I interpreted, but that would take up too much space so I am just going to write about the bigger things.
I think the greatest thing about this movie is that in the end it made me feel like I was watching more than one movie. This film is almost 3 hours long and I wasn't bored for one minute, and it didn't even feel like 3 hours to me. I also have to reward Quentin for his writing because he doesn't hide anything from his audience, he places them in the character's shoes and has them follow their every step.
This is the worst review of a movie I have ever written because there is not much I can say about this movie. It is freakin' awesome because it is such a long, enthralling, and enjoyable ride. Other than empty comments on this movie there is not much more I can say other than it is very entertaining, although it is not for everyone. Quentin Tarantino's movies are very selective with the audience it draws in so if you don't
like this movie then you might as well give up on this man because his movies will never be normal. I, for one, love Quentin's films because he is great at writing realistic, funny, and cool dialogue. So, of course I recommend this movie to everyone because I think it is great and we should support good filmmakers such as Quentin and boost the demand for more "different" movies. By the way, the whole non-linear thing works because it is related to the style of the movie: The past meets the present. As for the references to the past we have Jules's 70s style afro, the film's older music soundtrack, the Jack Rabbit Slim's restaurant, the outdated audio equipment at Mia Wallace's house, and various other things. As for the present references we have The Wolf's modern style Camero, Jules and Vincent's cell phones, the style of Honey-Bunny and Pumpkin's clothes, the drug dealer's girlfriend and friend's style in the beginning, and various other things. The film looks like it takes place in the past but we can clearly see that it takes place during the present, so it looks like the characters are caught in a time warp. Since the film is non-linear then the audience too finds themselves in a time warp. In that way I think that the storytelling has relevance for those who do not believe so.
P.S. I have read many reviews on this movie about people commenting on the excessive violence and explicit language in the movie, which are not things to be singled out about this movie. A lot of you know-it-alls out there don't like these kinds of movies because you think that the movie wouldn't sell if the bad language and violence were taken out, which is not true. There are a lot of stupid and unimportant movies out there that a lot of people like because they are traditional and do not make the audience think. Just because a director like Quentin decides to tell a story in a different way does not automatically make it stupid. Different is not stupid. This movie needs violence and the like because that is what gangsters do, and the style of the violence makes the movie interesting and unpredictable. Action movies are the ones that strive for violence because that IS the plot, and there are many of you who would die without your car jumping off a 10 story building and staying in one piece. I am just sick of people hating movies because they are different because that just means less good movies for me to watch.
