I picked the movie Pulp Fiction off of Time's Great 1oo list. The reason I picked this movie over some of the other movies is because I have seen it before and I really enjoyed it. I also was looking forward to this particular journal because I could go more in depth with the movie i picked.
Pulp Fiction was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film stars John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman. Travolta and Jackson play two L.A. hit men. Willis plays a boxer and Uma is a Mob boss's wife.
The storyline is well all jumbled up. Which is well classic Tarantino. That is well one reason that makes this movie so amazing. He takes a story and shows the viewer all of the movie in a different sequence that is not chronologically correct. I would not go as far to say that the way he told the story is new but I will say that he definitely brought it back into mainstream culture. This movie is the second of Tarantino's films that he shows the movie out of sequence. The other being Reservoir Dogs. So plot wise the main story would have to be the story of Jewels (Jackson) and Vincent Vega (Travolta) and the things they had to go through to get this briefcase for their boss. The catch is what is inside the briefcase. You watch along waiting for a point to the movie or a lesson. But it never comes maybe that is why the movie is among the greats simply because it is different and it has been embedded into pop culture since.
The movie plot seems realistic and believable. The dialogue is real life and that is another aspect that helps the movie in twin itself into the modern movie era. The best part of the movie in my opinion is the acting. The chemistry that Travolta has with Jackson and Thurman is amazing. The cinematic aspects of the film are good as well. Tarantino uses longer lasting shots than most movies. the low angle shot of the Wolf is really cool. It makes him seem super powerful.
I sugest if anybody likes a new and different movie experince I would watch Pulp Fiction!
