Pulp Fiction Movie Review

Pulp fiction- movie review
Pulp fiction is one of the first if not the first film which is edited that way that the plot is not organized in chronological order, in this movie the destroying of the accepted shape is not only original, it is a work of art.
Pulp fiction is a movie to watch more than once, the first watch it seems to be a nice action movie that includes witty dialogues and nothing more. But each time you watch it you find more layers, ideas and hidden messages.
In my opinion, this movie is about cinematography, the action-movie plot is marginal, Tarantino quotes politely from other movies, he uses familiar things and characters and takes them out of the familiar context, and that’s what makes the watching so exiting and such fun, people like to watch something familiar, they like the good old jokes, the regular Hollywood gangster characters… Tarantino continually prepares us for one thing and then delivers another- and that what makes the movie breathtaking.
Tarantino is much more than just laughs. Near the end, Jules sitting in a coffee shop with Vincent — enjoys a "moment of clarity" about changing his life. Unfortunately, two small and incompetent thieves played by Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer choose that moment to rob the place, everything becomes a mess, everyone is violent but even so, criminals are not shown in a negative light , they are not shown to be chaotic, they just takes off their “masks of control”, in some way it is even infantile, because It's a bit like the cruelty of children, which don’t know yet how to restrain themselves, how to apply the brakes.
In conclusion- Tarantino is in love with every shot of the movie, with the dialogues which are brilliant but unpretentious, with the jokes… and his love is catching. Watch the movie, it is highly

    All in all, it was a great movie with great direction and acting. The storyline is great and makes it hard to stop watching. It keeps the audience glued to their seat to see what happens at the end of the movie. And, the ending is so appropriate for the movie. It was great writing and what an action drama should be like. The recommendation for this movie could not be higher. It is a true…

    First of all, it is a thriller and action film. The non-stop martial arts action compiled with the conflict between the characters will keep the audience entertained and engaged. Secondly, the central plot of the relationship between the Bride and Bill, and the question of what became of their baby, will hook the audience in from the beginning and keep them hooked until the very end. The questions surrounding their relationship and the Bride’s history with his group of assassins become central right at the beginning of the film and the mystery is not completely solved until the end of the film, keeping the audience guessing the entire…

    Tarantino’s second movie Pulp Fiction, and its $8.5 million budget, showed his full potential. Tarantino did not only cast actors like John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Uma Thurman; he also completely stepped away from the rules of conventional film making by throwing away the idea of a chronological story line out the window. He filmed the beginning scene from a different perspective of the last scene of the movie; therefore, starting the movie with the end. Another complex aspect of the movie is the plot. The whole movie is not just one storyline; it’s a collection of four storylines that are seemingly unrelated, but develop and come together in the end.…

    His next script was for the film Reservoir Dogs which also introduced him as a director. Reservoir Dogs is what Tarantino calls it a "heist film" and states "anything that can go wrong will go wrong." Reservoir Dogs has extreme violence and profanity which sets the tone for all Tarantino 's other films (Tarantino). Critics loved Tarantino 's first release. They praised his camera work as well as his casting. Roger Ebert was the one critic who seemed to not enjoy Tarantino 's debut saying the "script doesn 't have much curiosity about these guys (Ebert)."…

    All in all, I have no criticism for the film. In fact, I believe this film is such that it could be expanded upon to create a full-length feature or at least a more substantial film. But of coure, that requires time and resources that the filmmakers may not have at their disposal. Both the joy and agony of indie films. Phenomenal stories without the restrictions of the studios but also without the funding of the studios.…

    Pulp Fiction, through the course of incorporating three seemingly unrelated narratives pulled together an interwoven story that unfolded like a well-oiled machine. With each of the narratives relying on pieces of the lurid subject matter (pulp) previous to it, which aided in expressing the overall theme. The film manages to pull this off while still giving each of its narrative segments equal weight; as a result they work like interlocking gears, each one necessary to all the others. Leaving us with thematic structure and many different kinds of pulp in a humorous amoral setting. What is strange about these intermingled narratives is the order in which they are told. I hope to articulate how the fracturing of this story aided in the overall effectiveness of Pulp Fiction.…

    The director made this movie was to catch the viewer’s eye with a true story. It was very interesting to watch because of all of the parenphena going on through out the movie. The director produced this in a way of everything being very precise but at the same time giving it a Hollywood twist. All of the lighting, soundtrack and imagery are on spot and having Leonardo play the role of Mr. Belfort was excellent casting. It felt as though the movie had more than one climax as it as so exciting.…

    Pulp Fiction is like boot camp for the Marines. You come into it from your civilized life, they subject you to violent language until you're numb, they abuse you verbally and physically until all of your normal feelings and values are reduced to dust. Leaving you aware that you have changed, and able to describe the change, you find yourself questioning the person you were previously. First thing you know you're saluting. This story is a cleverly disorienting journey through a landscape of danger, shock, hilarity, and vibrant local color. Nothing is predictable or familiar within this irresistibly bizarre world. You do not merely enter a theater to see Pulp Fiction: you go down a rabbit hole.…

    From the second the movie came on till the credits rolled, I was in love! This movie was just what every man wants. Money, sex, drugs, and not a worry in the world. Who would/could want more? I loved all the backstory they gave of Jordan Belfort. You were able to connect with him, so when he began to change into a money craved sex and drug addict you would still like him as the protagonist. Once his first wife found out Belfort’s cheating ways, it kind of hit home, due to some extenuating circumstances back home. But despite the horrible thing he put that woman through, you just wanted to see him railing Margot Robbie in the very next scene. DiCaprio was absolutely amazing throughout the film. I laughed throughout the entire movie and could have sat there for another 2 hours of the movie. And after getting up from the movie, I was so into it I had no idea I had been in the theater for about 3 hours. The movie in itself inspired me! No, not to be a druggy or lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead, but to simply live better. No one wants to be poor so why not get what you want. Find a way to achieve what you want and go through with it. The way Jordan Belfort lived is only how I can imagine.…

    That is what you first get a taste of in the 1994 movie, Pulp Fiction. This film was directed by Quentin Tarantino, this film is very unpredictable and very surprising. It makes thrill and action seekers get rid of all anything they thought they knew about this type of movie. In this film the director uses surprise and mystery mixed with insane humor and almost fantasy delight, putting Pulp Fiction in a world all its own. The film is then balanced with a lot of suspense and intensity.…
