Pulp Fiction

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2008)

...Wow...what is there to say? No, I'm being serious; what is there to say which hasn't by now? 'Pulp Fiction''; there is nothing that has not been said about it. The film was released during the same year and lost the academy award for best picture to 'Forest Gump'.
'Pulp Fiction' is a black comedy which focuses on several people who have a sort of affiliation with the man Marsellus Wallace (a mob boss of sorts). The two central characters of Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield are hit-men who work for Wallace (though I would say that they're actually paid to do whatever random chore is asked of them). The film is divided into several chapters (none of which are shown chronologically) and these chapters all depict a period of three or so days. The prologue is of the first day, and the first chapter is of the first day also (some time earlier); the second chapter is of after the prologue, and the third chapter is of the second two days; the fourth chapter is of the time between the prologue and the first chapter. Most every bit of these chapters are full with black comedy; I did not know this all when I first watched the movie, and so I was pleasantly shocked to find that the (very un-over-the-top) deaths and detailed speeches caused for me to laugh some.
I'm not going to say much because whoever is reading this and has never seen the full movie should; I won't spoil anything for you.
10/10
