One of the best movies I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2004)

*SPOILERS LIE HERIN* Pulp Fiction is a strait up great movie. The dialogue is witty, the acting fits with the rolls very well, and the connection is genius.
Pulp FIction has about 4 stories that all intertwine into one tale. The following is a very vague summary of the events in Pulp Fiction.
The First centers on two hit men of Marcellus Wallace going to a drug dealers apartment to take care of some business. It ends as Vinvent Vega and Jules Winfield (the two mob hit men played by Travolta and Jackson) shoot the s*it out of one of the men. It then goes right into another story after a short "interlude" type thing. This time, Vega has to take Mia Wallace (Marcellus Wallace's wife played by Uma Thurman) out to dinner. After dinner and winning a twist contest, mia overdoses which evolves into another substory where they must get adrenaline to her before she dies. The following story is called the Gold Watch. This is where one of Wallace's men who is a boxer is paid to throw in a fight. He, however wins and is on the run from Marcellus when he runs into him. This then goes into another subplot where Marcellus and Butch have been taken in by a S&M store owner and Marcellus is raped while Butch escapes only to later come down and save Marcellus. The next story is called the Bonnie Situation where we are back with Vincent and Jules and as they take one of the drug dealers in their car and he is accidentally shot in the face by Vincent. This evolves into the story of how they have to clean up the car and dispose of the body before they get caught. After this they go to a diner where a holdup (the beginning we see in the start of the movie)takes place. This description was very vague and left a lot out but it is hard to fit everything into one paragraph.
Anyway, what makes this movie great is the non-linear storytelling combined with the round-about way that the characters are indirectly characterized. Many argue that the "hip" conversations do nothing to further their personality, but they fail to see how it actually does. Vincent and Jules' conversation in the beginning about the "royale with cheese" seems pointless. But it shows how desensitized to the violent acts they commit. They don't really care at all. There are other examples however i am too lazy to write them all. The movie is reasonably mature in it's content. Upwards of 300 f*cks are used and many sexually implied. There is a lot of sexual content where they talk about oral sex and other things. The violence is not that bad. Not what you see anyway. Someone gets shot in the face and all we see is the blood spatter in the rear window and the blood/brain all over Jules and Vincent. Don't let that, however, turn you off. It is a very good movie that should not be missed. Final Grade: 9.5/10
