10/10 Stars

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2017)

Pulp Fiction is a pop cultural icon that deserves 5/5 stars. Tarantino is so good at the techniques he utilizes which include non chronological events, dialogue, and a Macguffin throughout the course of the film. These techniques add an effect not many other films add which divulge the viewer and graphs them close to the plot and story line throughout the film.
Pulp Fiction utilizes a Macguffin throughout the film which is a briefcase that heavily drives the plot and the respective characters and becomes so sought after but we never get the luxury as to see what it is that drives everyone and everything around them. We know this is a macguffin as it drives the plot and is crucial to the overall story line and drives all motives but we never understand exactly what it is.
Pulp Fiction carefully constructs a non-chronological story line that is essential to the plot but seems unusual at first. This is a cool and creative directorial technique but there seems to be a method behind the madness. Tarantino utilizes a non-chronological sequence of events to tell a story using a vastly different method. Tarantino utilizes this technique to tell the story in a more entertaining way and makes the taste after the film that much better due to the fact that the end is pretty much in the middle of the film and we have no idea and so key events in the film are told at an immaculate time such as Vincent's death.
Pulp Fiction uses various techniques of dialogue to convey the meaning of something, foreshadow something, and set a tone throughout Pulp Fiction not used in many other films. Dialogue is a very important factor utilized vigorously throughout the entirety of the the film. Dialogue used throughout isn't used to drive the story rather than to establish a mood and set the scene. Sometimes at first listen some conversations such as the fast food conversation between Jules & Vincent, but nothing throughout the movie is said for no reason behind every word/sentence is a meaning, such as relating back to the fast food conversations gets followed by a foot massage conversation which During their interrogation is brought up as Marcellus had a man throw out of a window for giving his wife a for massage establishes the following scene where Vincent takes Marcellus's wife out on a date, so while the conversations are happening they might seem meaningless but later or maybe prior knowledge will explain what that conversation meant and why it was said.
The theme of Pulp Fiction is as simple as these things happens and all characters that are so different and wouldn't expect anything more than a passing glance happen to all intertwine with one another and all of the core characters either get 'saved' or 'save' someone which is ironic due to the fact all of them are somehow involved with criminal activity. Marcellus is saved from getting raped, Vincent saves the gangster's wife. Furthermore the use of various film techniques Tarantino utilizes throughout the course of Pulp Fiction seemingly make 'main' characters turn into an 'extra' or non essential character and he makes the transformation seeming less. The macguffin, non chronological sequence of events, and camera angle/lens create an entire modern day atmospheric presence that indulges you into the story, which is told out of order, and forces you the viewer to really immerse yourself into the film which is why I would say Pulp Fiction deserves a 5/5 and commend Quentin Tarantino on this film.
