A contender for "The Best Film of the 1990's"

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2001)

The absolute strong point of Quentin Tarantino's superb PULP FICTION is it's Oscar winning screenplay. Had this screenplay been submitted to a screenwriting teacher, it would of gotten a D-. It destroys all conventional writing rules. Within twenty minutes of the film, we have been introduced to at least five barely linking major characters. It's heavy on talk (But what talk!) By the time the supposed lead (John Travolta as a cool moving hit-man/drug abuser) and his "date" (Uma Thurman as a gangster's wife) win the dance contest, you are saying "I am forty-five minutes into this film. I have no idea what is going on, but I love it!"
PULP FICTION took the old textbooks on screenwriting, and burned it, stomped on the remains, and kicked it down the drain. It wrote a new book on screenwriting, making it one of the most important films in American Cinema.
