Excellence accompanied with scathing originality

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2004)

SPOILERS in this summary
This film is arguably the most well-written of all time. Quentin Tarantino's screenplay includes everyday conversation that enhances character development. There are no lulls since every piece of dialogue has a certain significance to the entire film.
Pulp Fiction is also not as violent as some critics think. Take for instance the scene at Lance's house when Mia is suffering from a heroin overdose. Vincent stabs Mia with an adrenaline needle to jump start her heart. However, (thanks to brilliant directing from Tarantino) the viewer never actually sees the needle penetrate Mia's chest.
The best scene in Pulp Fiction has to be the end scene in which Jules (played by Samuel L. Jackson in his career role) negotiates with Pumpkin and Hunnybunny with regards to saving their lives. His last lines interpreting Ezekiel 25:17 are powerful and spine-tingling, especially his last sentence.
"You're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men, but I'm trying', Ringo, I'm trying real hard to be a shepherd." This speech makes Pulp Fiction one of the greatest and most unique stories of redemption.
Pulp Fiction is personally my favorite film. The movie earned its Oscar for Tarantino's screenplay, but was denied Oscars it should have won, especially best picture, best director (Tarantino), and best supporting actor (Samuel L. Jackson). Regardless, this film is extremely important with blazing originality similar to Citizen Kane. It is a film that will continue to thrive for many decades to come.
