The movie that got me into movies

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2017)

Well, its Pulp Fiction time and putting the revolutionary things this film did into ten lines is nearly impossible. A chronologically nonlinear plot edited to perfection, a cast of phenomenal actors with equally impressive chemistry, and a daring plot all drive Pulp Fiction towards the top of many people's list of all time greatest movies. The film opens with a conversation between a British couple at a diner who are planning a robbery which Tarantino does not bring the audience back to until the very end of the film. In between the robbery, intense character development occurs for a morally corrupt yet somehow likable group of gangsters, played by Samuel L Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, and Ving Rhames. Rhames being the on screen presence he is plays the boss, with Travolta and Jackson operating as his soldiers and Willis operating as a boxer who receives under the table payments from Rhames for throwing fights. Among the excitement occurs a heap of trouble with a boxing match, a hit on an apartment gone wrong, and an overdose by Rhames' wife Mia, played by Tarantino's then girlfriend Uma Thurman. All of these unintended consequences create an overwhelming number of outrageous scenarios that test the resolve of this morally ambiguous bunch. Perfect writing, acting, directing, editing, and soundtrack make Pulp Fiction one of the objectively all time greatest films.
