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

    I have an odd relationship with this film, it entertained me from start to finish, and at no point did it drag or feel grueling. Some might chock that up to good pacing, but I’d chock it up to lots and lots of brainless and inconsequential explosions. Let me be honest with you for a second, I secretly enjoy a lot of films because I know they’re bad, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable. This film is going to fit nicely into that collection of films I liked more than my brain tells me I should have. A lot of people are going to…

    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…

    There's no doubt that Citizen Kane is a great movie. It is a pioneering film that forever changed film making. Its plot is one of the most creative and original in all of movie history. The cinematography is stunning. Citizen Kane is about those images that we all reflect and project, the sum total of which -the impressions we make on other people- are all we that leave behind us. That central, unsolveable riddle of personality is at the core of what makes Citizen Kane so endlessly watchable.…

    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.…

    The remarkable stylistic conventions of classical film noir have made it one of the most memorable and recognizable film genres to this day. Each film noir picture is uniquely told though it use of degrees of darkness, contrasting lighting, rain-covered city streets, isolated protagonist, and devious dames that effortlessly lure men into a cold trap of criminal deeds. Pulp Fiction, a film by Quentin Tarantino, is said to be one of film noir’s strongest roots with its setting of a dark, criminal underworld. While the film does play around the edges of traditional film noir, it cannot be accurately be claimed a “neo-noir” due to several variances it takes with some of the most fundamental elements of film noir. Many visual and narrative devices have taken a different route in such a manner that one cannot classify it as conventional film noir.…

    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.…

    I appreciated the director’s eye for detail in each scene. Also, I enjoyed the unique personalities of each character as well as the dialogue between them. Although, this movie was created amongst thousands of other film during the studio era. It endured through the years because many considered it to be the first classic in the film noir genre in Hollywood and the standard of cinematic storytelling. Even in the present day, this cinematic masterpiece will leave audiences with a delightfully bitter…

    The lives of two reprehensible hitman, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L Jackson), a washed up boxer, Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), a gangster’s wife, Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman), and two diner crooks, Honey bunny (Amanda Plummer) and Ringo (Tim Roth) are intertwined in Quentin Tarantino’s three fables of crime and redemption (Pulp Fiction). Pulp Fiction is a movie of immorality and wit. The hitmen’s boss, Marsellus Wallace, is a king of crime, however continuously gets played by those doing business with him, leaving Vincent and Jules to clean up the mess. Which in turn causes these unrelated lives to weave together. During the film, Pulp Fiction, many situations may be deemed unrealistic, though through Quentin Tarantino’s…

    I felt overwhelmed with surprise and suspense through the first few minute of the film. Yet,I was intrigued by the west feel of the movie and the smart tactics of each character, but the killing and torture were so harsh. The Bad cold heartedly killing a family and later shooting another person in the face, very intense scenes. The scene I appreciated the most was the famous face-off between the three men, the ‘trio’ scene. The impact of this moment was like a little time bomb waiting to unfold. The scene gets more frenetic with close ups of the hand and face as the music got louder. I felt as if I had entered inside the characters’ minds, shaking in my seat along with them in fear and anticipation. The movie affected because I realized how movies can grab hold of my brain and emotions and manipulate them in such a way. Upon leaving the classroom I felt that I had to be ready for sudden attacks. My brain was still captured in the west and felt that I too had to anticipate others movies. I've never been one to watch western films, and after seeing this one it, I gave me an alternative to watching the scary horror movies I usually gravitate too. I always thought these kind of films were not for me and I was pleasantly surprised that it's something I really…

    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.…
