The masterpiece of Pulp Fiction - explained

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2005)

Jules, Vince Vega and Butch. A few of the greatest characters to ever hit the screen. All characters in the film are very separate with ideas, motivation and of course personality. Gangsters, Robbers, A Boxer and Confederate rapists and an African American 'Mr. Big'. When you put these kinds of characters together (head to head) the atmosphere is more than explosive. Quentin Tarantino states recently ('Kill Bill' special features) that one of the greatest aspects of a film is when great footage goes great with great music. Pulp Fiction is a perfect example of this. Each song reinforces and brings out a tremendous energy of each scenes particular focus.
Each scene in Pulp Fiction presents itself with Morals, whether it's Loyalty, Murder, Manslaughter or helping out one's own enemy. Many scenes present themselves in the format of 'what would you do if you were in this situation?' The unique style of placement of scenes makes the film ever more interesting. It most definitely is a film that crosses many different genres. Thriller, Action, Drama, Romance and film Noir all in one. It may be important to watch several times to understand what you originally perceived.
The greatest masterpieces of all time have always been film's one can look back on and give deep thought on. Below there are 3 Categories of what creates that 'look back period' and why Pulp Fiction highly rates-
1) Clever Factor: About links from issue to issue- This is shown in Pulp Fiction perhaps more than any film released in the past couple of decades. The film is driven by three main plots and then countless subplots that are interwoven within the main story line. The extreme detail every item is set to from the briefcase numbers to Vince Vega walking in the background at the first scene obviously involve a lot of 'the clever factor'.
2) Quote Factor: Memorable quotes that can be thought about- All that is said is done so in a way that they are new age casual poetic phrases. A closer look will examine the true meaning behind a character's slang statement of interest or a bible passage.
3) Cool Factor: Exhilarating to the mind- No doubt every viewer will appreciate, if not admire the wild and sometimes wacky thoughts varied characters have to offer. Unlike many modern day R rated movies there are few deaths in pulp fiction. But every single death is built up in a way that means a great deal for the audience and at least a character involved.
In conclusion, Pulp Fiction is a film that can be interpreted many different ways. There are so many fascinating features one could talk all day, but it is up to the individual to seek out his or her own desires within the film. Pulp Fiction is definitely a film of high inspiration but it could be decades before we see another film within the likes of it.
