Tarantino at his best! (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2004)

I, like many others, consider Pulp Fiction to be Tarantino's best film. Pulp Fiction has an excellent story and good directing. The acting is excellent all around and Travolta gives his finest performance. What makes this movie really fun to watch, however, is how it's set up. Pulp Fiction doesn't play like a regular movie; the scenes are all out of order. There are a few stories going on that have little to do with each other and you get to see where all the stories meet. At the end you see just how each story affected the other and where they all cross, and how each story point fits in with the next (similar to Kill Bill, in which Tarantino didn't mess up, but just didn't do as good of a job). But the end of the movie isn't really the end, because you've already seen scenes that take place after the last scene. The real end of the story is the end of Butch's story, after he already killed Vega, and you might not have realized this until fifteen minutes after the movie was over. This movie isn't really artistic, but more so clever. And Tarantino denies any truth about the whole band-aid thing and soul-redemption suitcase, for those of you who can't enjoy a good movie for what it is, or maybe just can't get enough out of this one. Ving Rhames just has a big ugly scar on the back of his head.
Pulp Fiction is easily Tarantino's best work, and possibly the best movie I've ever seen. All of the acting was excellent, including Tarantino's bit, and Bruce Willis, as little of him as we saw, was a treat. I recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it. Five stars out of five.
