Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction is pure chaos and a masterpiece in dark humor and non linear story telling.
To me this is a film that changed the trajectory of the industry for the rest of time. As Quentin Tarantino said himself, he created his own genre.
To me this is a director giving a full fledged effort to a script, and in many cases displays some of the best dialogue I’ve ever bared witness to.
Pulp Fiction is Samuel L. Jackson’s wake up film, and to me is an absolute perfect performance. Displaying not only a range of emotions, but also an artistic direction of how tarintino may have assumed his career would go.
To me non linear direction is one of the biggest risks to take when directing a film, especially for most directors who are in a “ sophomore slump”.
However, Tarintino changed the game with Pulp Fiction.
This is a world class score and easily stands at the top of my list, one of the few movies that I would say has every single song chosen to fit to a tea.
I love non linear stories done promptly, and this is one that I didn’t appreciate until this rewatch. Which is a surprise, as it slowly is turning into one of my favorite artistic attempts ever.
Pulp fiction follows three stories not only through the characters that are consistent throughout them, but through the overall message of what they achieve.
Samuel L. Jackson delivers an absolute masterclass that stands as a career best. and so do many of the other lead/ side roles. The best part about non linear stories is unless you study protagonist antagonist roles it seems that there’s not a specific main character. Which in many ways there’s not.
John Travolta is epic, and displays addiction on a high level in pulp fiction.
Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace is a fucking icon. To me this “chapter” stands supreme
To me this is another film like boogie nights, where I could go through 20 cast members and list of the fact they had many career best performances. But we all know that.
Pulp fiction is dynamic and has more character than most films. To me this is the genre of what defines my type of movie.
Chaos that finds a way to find a center point, making you question if all that chaos was really chaos. One of the most unpredictable films ever made.
A masterpiece and a gift to the industry
