Best Movie I Have Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2015)

The Shawshank Redemption had been number one on my list for a long time, but after I watched Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption finally got bumped down to number two. My friend and I watched this surprisingly funny movie and laughed through the entire thing, especially at Tarantino's witty use of dialogue (Ezekial 25:17 (not a real passage, by the way), royale with cheese, jack rabbit slims, and coffee). Tarantino has often been criticized for using too much violence, but he presents the violence in such a way that it is artistic and not as brutal as it would be in real life (for another example of this, see Kill Bill Vol. 1). This is ever present in this movie, his masterpiece, Pulp Fiction. Without further ado, here are some pros of the movie.
Pros:
-The unchronological story, it actually makes you think a little. You now have to pay attention to the finer details
-The style, cinematography, and the fantastic soundtrack (Dick Dale, just like every Tarantino film
-Samuel L. Jackson plays one of the finest roles in his career to date, jheri curl and all
-Can be an "art film" along with a "just for entertainment film"
-Tarantino's cameo role as Jimmy
-Pop culture references
In summary, this movie is funny, witty, full of pop culture, artsy yet entertaining, has a great soundtrack, and uses violence to its advantage.
