A personal favourite, Tarantino's attention to detail makes the film what it is.

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2012)

I am sure this has been said before, but Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movies. I have watched it numerous times and with each viewing more details appear, it is almost impossible to suggest that one would be able to predict every twist and every turn that occurs in this film. Tarantino breaks the typical chronological order in which a movie usually functions, this is what makes Pulp Fiction so intelligent it is a particularly unusual feeling that occurs when the movie comes full circle and returns to the beginning as a means to conclude. It is a tool he can use to provoke different reactions from viewers, for example the death of a main character (Vincent) during the middle of the movie comes as a shock especially when he resurrects unscathed scenes later. It is the lack of chronology that allows Tarantino to play with his characters whilst keeping their roles prominent. This is never easy when applied to a movie in chronological order for example the death of Llewellyn moss in 'No Country for Old Men' leaves the focus on Anton Chigurh (though this is a Coen Brothers production and not a Tarantino one it still assists in illustrating the importance of Tarantino's chronological confusion.)
As well as Tarantino's intelligent filming method he uses a cast that match their character's personality, for example Samuel L Jackson usually plays the role of a tough yet eccentric and interesting type and Christopher Walken plays tends to play knowledge filled and enigmatic characters. I am in no way saying these actors are generic, I merely scrape the surface of what they are capable of. Tarantino's characters (as well as other roles played by these actors) have detailed and interesting back-stories which add a significant amount of detail to the plot. he leaves the viewer with such quotable phrases such as Jules' "Ezekiel 25:17" passage (which I have found is a favourite when friends come to quote the movie.)
As if the plot, characters and dialogue is not enough to gain the viewer's undivided attention it is padded with a number of details that are not directly linked to the plot yet still add interesting twists to the story. This is why the movie has to be viewed at least twice to understand most of the aspects that occur. It is Tarantino's intelligent use of the minor details that make this film what it is. For example the significance of his characters in relation to his other films (when given insight) is mind-blowing. Vincent Vega being a direct link to Reservoir Dogs' 'Vic Vega'. And the consistent time on all of the clocks . Agreed I have only touched the surface of what this movie is about, yet the detail on which this film is based cannot be put directly into words, I can simply pick up on the intelligent use of dialogue, characters the numerous twists and turns that occur and the small yet significant details that can be observed.
So I really do suggest you give it a watch :)
