A champion of non-linearity, dialog, and art-house film.

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2013)

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 crime-drama directed and written by Quentin Tarantino. Staring Jon Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson as two B.A.M.F's and Bruce Willis as Butch. Let me just say before i dig into this that i have a massive bias to this movie. I've seen Pulp more than any other movie, in fact the reason why i even took this class in the first place can be directly linked to my admiration for Pulp. That being said, Tarantino really showed that he's got game in this film. Many people say that he's just a really big fan simply 'steals' shots from other directors, and one can certainly see the similarities between the shots, but Tarantino manages to make it his own every time. Even if the set up is exactly the same, the shots he uses are able to stay 'Tarantino- esque'. Its also hard to point out one particular thing in this movie that stands out, as the cinematography, editing, sound, story, acting, and even the wardrobe stands out. What makes this movie different from the rest is the non-conventional showing of the story. Its non-linear, its almost aggressively non-linear. For years i've been trying to figure out what the order in which the stories are told mean, i'm sure there's something there, but i haven't really been able to figure it out. That being said though, it doesn't hold the movie back. At the end of the day, this movie is everything a good movie could be. Go watch it, go obsess over it, go talk about it, go go go! 10/10
