The path of the righteous man.....

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 1999)

I don't have enough space here to point out all of the misconceptions about Pulp Fiction so I'll just give everybody my take on the film and its message. Pulp Fiction is a truly brilliant film that few people will ever completely understand. Pulp Fiction covers everything from social satire to morality to just good old fashion movie fun. First of all I would like to explain the bible verse that Jules reads (Ezekeil 25:17) and how it applies to the story. Jules is "the righteous man", Vincent is "the selfish", and Marsellus represents "the tyranny of evil men." Jules is "beset on all sides" by this negativity and must find it in himself to overcome it. Jules, in the end finds redemption, where Vince and Marsellus have the vengance of the lord layed upon them for their sins. This is just one layer of a great story. Perhaps that's the brilliance of Pulp Fiction: the various layers that the film can be enjoyed on. Pulp Fiction is the Citizen Kane of the 90's....It has changed filmaking like few others. The acting in Pulp Fiction makes it seem like the actors were just born to play their roles in the movie. Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson give a couple of the finest performances in screen history. The Social satire and Quentin's great direction only fuel the fire. It's just too bad that the subject matter of the film turn people away from Pulp Fiction, because those people are really restricting themselves. Pulp Fiction is my all-tie favorite film and I believe that in 10 or 15 years it will go down as the greatest film ever made. 10 out of 10
