Pulp Fiction was filmed in 1994 in the city of Los Angeles. This movie falls into the film genre under action thriller. This movie fits well into the typical crime drama that we all know so well. This movie has two hit men, a boxer, his girlfriend, and a gangster's wife. The main point of the story is the two hit mean Vincent Vega and Jules are on a mission to retrieve a briefcase that has something mysterious insides that leaves the audience guessing. While the two men are on their quest, they encounter some problems like a restaurant robbery, a dead body in the back of their car, and a boxer on the run. The editing and the transition in this film were amazing and had perfect timing to make the movie flow smooth. There were perfect establishing shots that set up the scenes and give you an idea of what the story line was going to look like. The sound of music throughout the movie had good synchronous sound. The music fits into the background and the scenes really pop and fit together with the sound effects that were chosen. Some of those scenes would not have been as intense if the right music was not put into the correct places. This movie is hard not to get emotionally involved in. As stated above, the music or score elicit plays a major part in making scenes related to the audience. For example, the car scene where the gun goes off accidentally and the sound effect off the gun going off has a huge impact on someone's feeling and the way they react to it. This is not the only scene where music comes into play and makes an impact on the viewers. Cinematography is another art of film making that supports the tone of the movie. The camera perspective, the positions, and the camera distances. Pulp Fiction uses a variety of zoom shots and deep focus shots that you have eye level shots that really focus in on the characters and capture their facial expressions. The angels and the position of the camera really allows the audience to be involved in the film. Everything that it takes to make this film happen works through the magic of cinematography. After watching this film for the first time, I can't say I can pin point the meaning of the movie. There are three different story's that happened within this film and they are tied together to make the film a true thriller. I believe every movie has a story behind each one and something to tell the audience about morals and everyday decisions with the impact of real life situations. Being a first time viewer and not knowing what to expect I had no personal influences or any biases that made my decision regarding this film. I loved everything about the movie, the plot, and the characters. Pulp Fiction was well written and directed and I loved it. This movie was enjoyable to me because it had twists and turns and it kept me guessing about the briefcase. I was able to follow the dialog and stay interested throughout the entire movie without missing any key points.After everything is said and done I would 100% recommend this movie to anyone looking for a new action thriller. The actors are mind blowing and the movie is so different in a way that's hard to explain without viewing it for yourself. Nothing about this film will disappoint you and it will leave you wanting more.
