It's difficult to point out exactly what makes Pulp Fiction one of the best motion pictures in existence. It just is. The brilliant writing, the spot-on cast, the simple plot with the unpredictable turns - all combined with the calm and contrasting atmosphere that characterizes Tarantino's work - all adds up to nothing less than one of the most flawless drama of all time. In particular, the scene at Jack Rabbit Slims is my favorite. It's just a fun scene Steve Buscemi plays a laughable Buddy Holly server, and John Travolta can't get over how there could be a five dollar shake. Also before Uma Thurman and John Travolta enter the restaurant, Uma say, "Don't be a square." I don't think many viewers understand what that means because the term was popular in the 60s. It means don't be un-hip or uncool.
