My small review of Pulp Fiction (1994)movie



I watched Pulp fiction (PF), first time, nearly a decade back.
Confused a lot & fact is may be PF is my first nonlinear movie.
From Friday night onward, whole weekend, I watched it over & Over to get it right,

Pulp Fiction tells three mini stories on following characters:
Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson);
Vincent and Mia (Uma Thurman);
Butch (Bruce Willis) and Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames).

Plot:
Jules and Vincent are two hit men who are out to retrieve a suitcase stolen
from their employer Wallace. Also Wallace asks Vincent to take his wife Mia out a few days. Butch is an old boxer who is paid by Wallace to lose his next fight. But Butch has his own plans. The lives of these seemingly unrelated people are clubbed together comprising of a series of funny, bizarre and uncalled for incidents. Dialogs drives the whole plot. Most of characters end with redemption at the end.

Pulp Fiction was huge hit with its unique circular timeline screenplay at that time.
{Narration that stops and starts, shifts and rewinds, forcing the viewer to
construct the story - the trajectory of each character, their interrelation with
other characters and fictions, the "how", "what", "when" and "why" of the narrative.}

PT is the most influential movie of the decade. Lot of movies came with similar concept. (The usual suspects, Memento etc.)

After this movie, I never missed any QT movie.


My rating 10/10

Note: Not for kids
