What's this random pulp?

Whats the special thing about movie pulp fiction which you liked?

  • Answer:

    What's not to like? First and foremost, it had the best characters ever. Then there's the dialogue. The pace was great. The music was fantastic. The stories were engaging (because of the characters and dialogue, of course). Let me give you an example of how it works. When Butch is sneaking back into his apartment, on the lookout for the gangsters, the tension works because of several factors. First, the dialogue from the preceeding scenes lets you know how stressed out about the danger he is. No shots of the gangsters with their gun and menacing music in the background are needed; Tarentino lets you instead feel the tension yourself, and simultaneously creates more tension because you as the viewer have no idea what is waiting for Butch. Then the shots of Butch sneaking up through the neighbors lawns so as not to be seen are long, but there are ambient noises that you would expect in the environment such as cars passing by or kids shouting. Since there is no tension music to set you up, there is no knowing what may happen. All you have to go on are Butch's suspicions and his motivation for putting himself in danger: his father's watch. The emotional importance of the watch is explained in earlier scenes, so you are feeling the tear between the danger and the recovery of the watch. Compounding this is the fact that the viewer already feels a connection with the gangsters themselves since their characters are established early on. The characters seem at once outlandish and very real. If you can deal with the violence and language, the only thing not to like about the movie is that it has to end.

Pulp Fiction quote: VINCENT: You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? JULES: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese? VINCENT: No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is. JULES: What'd they call it? VINCENT: Royale with Cheese. JULES: Royale with Cheese. What'd they call a Big Mac? VINCENT: Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it Le Big Mac. JULES: What do they call a Whopper? VINCENT: I dunno, I didn't go into a Burger King.

I don't really know why, but I really liked it when Uma thurman was dancing in the living room to "You'll be a woman soon" before she snorts all of John Travolta's heroin. Or the part in the restaraunt when Samuel L. Jackson talks about his wallet being the one with "Bad Mother F*cker" on it. Its such a SLJ thing to say!

Excellent character development. Every person in that movie was someone we normally wouldn't think too highly of, but we saw the humanity and maybe even felt compassion for all of them (Except the perps in the basement,but hey, you gotta have a couple of totally worthless people, just to spice it up)

It had an ending! One of the worst films I've ever seen.

Gone.

I love how there's so many different stories intertwining. But my absolute favorite thing is that it's totally hilarious at moments, amongst all this violence and semi-philosophical talk. The chemistry between John Travolta & Samuel L. Jackson is amazing as well.

I have never seen the film, and I never will. However, I do love this quote from that film: "Any time of day is a good time for pie." - Fabienne, Pulp Fiction
