Tarantino's masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2008)

PULP FICTION is a great film, but it's not just a "commonly great" film, it's a masterpiece! It's really a genius' work! It possibly was one of the first movies I ever saw with a non-linear plot, and at the time, probably 1995 or 96, I found it a bit strange and different but I liked it. Today, after all these years, I just don't find it different or peculiar, I find it brilliant, because now I can see so many details that probably, at that time, I didn't notice. In fact, there're so many "little things" in this movie, which I remembered no more, that are crucial to understand the real meaning and significance of the film. It is very sarcastic and full of dark humor, but it also is a very good social and moral critic to the occidental culture where we live Even if it seems, at first sight, just a movie about gangsters and the criminal world where they belong, it is not, because it shows us a large number of scenes where friendship, honor, forgiveness, mutual aid, and the good Human values are present. So, it has a very strong message, behind all that blood and those killings. I guess I didn't notice that the first time I saw it But this movie isn't just brilliant because of the excellent argument, the remarkable acting, its great message or the nice soundtrack. No, it has an amazing and unforgettable humor! The entire film is full of sarcastic moments and phrase lines which stay in your head for years! Who doesn't remember the "foot massage" conversation, the "5 dollars milkshake", the "Royalle with cheese", the quoting of the bible or the guy which kept a gold-watch up his ass for five years?! These are classic moments of the modern cinema, as the film itself! It's definitely a movie which changed something in cinema, and it is, for sure, a classic of the modern times!
