QT's classic film of contemporary culture

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2003)

I mean, that's what pulp fiction is, isn't it?
Anyway, Pulp Fiction is one of those few films that hit big and then are remembered long after. Usually, it take time for a film to get noticed and then become a classic (Citizen Cane) but some hit big and stay big (Star Wars), generally increasing in popularity as time flies by. If Pulp Fiction is the Star Wars of the '90s, then I pity the kid who buy's the Vega trigger-happy.
In fact, from how the media plays this film out, (EW) Pulp Fiction must be the defining film of the '90s. The people who bought tickets to this film were the children of the drug swinging hippies of the '60s, and those trippy parents bought tickets because well, they ain't getting any younger. The moment this film landed in Cannes, it was an instant sensation, and well, it propelled director Tarantino to heights and hype as a director not seen since another directors second flop.
Pulp Fiction is a classic and if it is to be remembered as the defining film of the decade or the truth that QT is the real deal, then that certainly is the real pulp fiction.
