Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2013)

Funny, philosophical, stylish, violent, and vulgar are some the words I would use to describe Pulp Fiction, along with idiosyncratic due to its unique nonlinear style of telling its story. What I also love about Pulp Fiction is the amount of interesting characters and their witty dialogue. Although this is a crime movie, what makes this stand out from other films in the crime genre is having these characters being placed in the most absurd situations and how they deal with it. This isn't some regular shoot 'em up movie just about people killing other people, it's pretty much its own movie about crime where each situation goes wrong in the most random and strangest way.
What I love about Pulp Fiction is that it does not try to make a point about anything, choosing not to take itself seriously. It really comes off as a movie about regular people who talk like regular people talking about some of the most random stuff, but with crime involved. This is especially evident with interactions between Vincent and Jules, which comes off pretty hilarious, since you can tell they're so use to the routine of their job that their having the most random conversations you would expect from two dudes and that's pretty much their way of passing the time before they blow a guy's head off.
And the events that follow continue this tone of humor in the most weird or disturbing way. Although this is a crime film, with a lot of dark comedy, I feel Tarantino made a film that feels like a genre of its own and one that feels very post-modern. Although this is not my favorite movie, nor would I consider it the greatest of all time, Pulp Fiction is a film so unique that I don't think I have even seen any other movie that similar to it and because of this, I think everyone should watch Pulp Fiction.
