Can you find the cliché?

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2006)

This is not a review of the amazing movie called Pulp Fiction. Just an opinion of a part of the story line. If you want to read a review to make a decision wheather to watch the movie of not, please do not read any further, just go watch the movie. It will be totally worth your time. You may end up watching it more than once. And then come back and read the following.
No one has seen movies like Reservoir Dogs before Quentin Tarantino became a director. Just like no one saw any E.T.s before Steven Spielberg became a film maker. Yes, Quentin Tarantino has got class when making movies. Pulp fiction is a great movie, a movie every film and media professor would recommend his or her students to watch and write a review for. But have you ever felt this movie has clichés? When we see Pulp fiction, we feel impressed that QT has cast a black man as the mob "big" boss. We feel impressed when white people are shown as his henchmen which we never get to see in many Hollywood movies. But think... wasn't the mob "big" boss black because he had to get raped. Penetrated from the rear by a white man. Would the movie's reviews or QT's reputation have changed if it was the other way round. A white mob boss being raped by a black cop? Isn't Tarantino submitting to what the majority audience want to see than maybe presenting his own point of view? Or does he really feel what he showed?
