My Personal Favorite

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2007)

I defy those who call this a bad movie (though I know that's a minority). It isn't trying to send a message. It's just three entertaining stories. Tarantino's speciality is outrageous realistic fiction, with pointlessly hilarious conversations in between these events. The opening, where it tells what "pulp" content is tells us what the film will be. It's supposed to be violent, with profanity, and drugs. Tarantino though a weirdo with a big ego and a huge chin who works on a lot of crap, is my favorite director. I even liked "Death Proof" and his part in "Four Rooms." He isn't really aiming to please everyone. Pulp Fiction was a fictional story with pulp material. If your not into that, it's not for you. Tarantino's choice of dialogue is justified, at least in my opinion, by one thing. His characters are complete losers and jerks! Travolta's, and apparently Jackson's characters are on heroine. Stoltz is a dealer, Willis is frustrated boxer, etc. I don't recommend that word choice, though. "Pulp" isn't everyones type, but it is what it's supposed to be. In my opinion, very entertaining, hilarious for odd reasons, an overall classic. It's number 5 spot on the top 250 is well deserved.
