The perfect movie.

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2013)

The plot is out of order. The characters are over the top. The dialog is vulgar. The violence is brutal. And the result is perfection.
Never before have I watched a movie that I can consider "perfect." Movies usually contain a number flaws, while fewer ones contain a couple mistakes that can be shrugged off. But there is nothing wrong with Pulp Fiction. Tarantino made a flawless movie.
To have a perfect movie, you need the perfect casting. John Travolta nails it as Vincent Vega. Travolta has made some questionable choices in his career, but taking this role resurrected his career and earned him a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Samuel L. Jackson is the standout star of the movie. From quoting nonexistent Bible passages to explaining foot massages, his character of Jules is one bad-ass motherf****r. The rest of its all star cast includes Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth (who probably has the most underrated performance in the movie), Amanda Plummer, Harvey Keitel, and Christopher Walken.
The plot is told our of order, which just adds more thickness to the movie. This is not a movie where, when you watch it the first time, you can just sit back and relax. Tarantino's movies make you think and he does the favor of not insulting the audience's knowledge.
The most interesting and intriguing part of this movie is the screenplay. In fact, every Tarantino movie can be singled out for screenplays. Pulp Fiction succeeds in transforming its characters into everyday people, who talk about sex, foot massages, hamburgers, television, the Bible, coffee, and watches (don't ask where it's been). Without a solid screenplay, a movie can fall flat. Tarantino's Oscar was well-deserved.
Overall, I give Pulp Fiction a 10/10. If you haven't seen it, then I highly recommend it. If you have seen it, you have been a witness to cinematic gold.
