Pulp Fiction.

[David04]

Incredibly overrated, when I was done watching the only thought I had was "That's it?" I started off good, and then the stories were crossed paths...then it was over. I felt like there was no point to this movie, other than seeing people get their heads blown off and watching a big black
guy get anally raped.

Damn, how did I forget to mention the briefcase? Like half of the movie is centered around that goofy glowing briefcase, and you don't even find out what is in it.

[citanul]

There were some very funny parts(when Jules gave his little speech at the end "I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a [censored] before you popped a cap in his ass", I laughed so hard I missed his next few lines)

But a movie can be funny, and have great acting and still not have any kind of meaning.

unrelated to this ill tell a funny story. i used to work in video store when the movie got released. i was in college in austin at the time.

so the movie was prereleased here. at the time tarantinto was not famous and no one knew of pulp ficiction. i only went because of his ealier movies. it was a riot. tarentio was there and the crowd was so loud and into it. the PA system was horrid though. it was a bunch of college students there dressed like normal college students.

w/ the movie tix we were able to go to a bar afterwards so i went there at night in my usual college attire which ripped up shorts and tshirt but everyone from the movie went home and changed.

it was a small event and i got there and most of the people were dressed in tuxes or suites. the women were in dresses. i was a bit uncomfortable a didnt stay long.

The moral of the story is...
a quarter pounder in france is called a "royal with cheese" because of the metric system.

[David04]

My DVD collection:Goodfellas, American History X, Casino, Waterboy, Reservoir Dogs, Scarface, Tupac:Resurrection.

I don't know about you, but I think you would have to find a complete moron and/or a blind person to tell you that all of those movies suck(with the exception of The Waterboy, that was a gift)...

The reason you think that the film is highly over-rated is because it's been duplicated so many times. Interesting dialogue, wonderful acting, unconventional camera shots, and suspenseful scenes wrapped around a storyline that does not force feed you information. That's why you're not told what's in the briefcase. That's for you to decide. Although the main belief is that the suitcase contains the soul of Marsellus Wallace, but other ideas are that the suitcase contains Tarantino's first Oscar, the Elvis suit from True Romance, among other ideas.

Watching the movie for the first time today would not be the same as watching it when it was first releashed. The techniques used by Tarantino have been copied numerous times and I could name a dozen movies that should grant credit to Tarantino. But, to be fair, Tarantino himself 'stole' his techiniques from other directors but puts them together in a way which makes his film unique.

A much better review of Pulp Fiction can be found here (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19941014/REVIEWS/410140304/1023) by none other than Roger Ebert.

I hope this puts the movie in better perspective.

[d10]

So have you really never watched this movie until now or did you just wait 10 years to post about it? Did it never bother you that half the time someone quoted a movie you had no idea what they were talking about?

Enjoy the movie daddy-o, don't be a [].

[David04]

Yeah I read this on IMDB

"QUESTION. To the people that think the movie is overrated: when did you first see the movie?

If you seen the movie for the first time rescently it's not gonna have the same impact as if you saw it for the first time. Because QT has been copied so many time over since his originality has been disminished. But if you saw it back in 94 when it came out it was completely original."

Makes a lot of sense. I don't know, I'll watch it again in a few days to see if my opinion changes at all, but I think all the hype+Tarantino being copied=a movie that isn't as good as I thought it would be.

If you don't like Pulp Fiction that's fine with me. I think it's a great movie but there's plenty of people who share you view as well. Watching the movie a second time probably won't change your opinion but who knows. There's some movies I can just watch over and over and not get tired of them.

BTW have you seen Kill Bill and if so what did you think of it?

Have you watched Snatch or Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? These are important for anyone looking to impress girls with their knowledge of trendy counter culture. Also great movies.
Next on the list should be Boondock Saints. Watching some old Bogart flicks is good for the artsy chicks too.

IMO I believe that second half of Kill Bill to be better.

[TheIrishThug]

ur problem was that u went into the movie expecting enlightenment or something beyond what u had ever seen before. u r not gonna get that, espcially the last part since it was an aclaimed movie from a decade ago.

expectations change everything. the same thing happened when i saw jarhead, everyone i saw it with was expecting Full Metal Jacket or something like that. when they didn't get that they said they hated it. had i expected a social commentary, i probly would have really liked it.

[Paluka]

Not liking Pulp Fiction is stupid.

[David04]

Yeah, I was just expecting too much. I'm not saying it is a bad movie, parts of it were pretty good. But overall I was just kind of disappointed.

Please watch/buy the following movies:

Cool Hand Luke
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Das Boot

Is there some deeper meaning? Please, somebody explain it to me.

Not really a dumb statement at all. I have about 400 movies, I don't like them all.

I didn't say that I am mature enough to watch every movie out there. I said that I can digest a lot of the movies that I am not "supposed" to watch until I am 17. For what it's worth, I feel I am smarter than 90% of kids my age(but then again, who doesn't?) I think a lot of people I know would watch the movie, be like "whoah, that was badass, Jules and Vincent are coldblooded killers, don't [censored] with them!!!"

A few would watch it, and be able to appreciate it's deeper meaning. I'm in neither of these categories.

[David04]

Then stop buying movies you don't like. It doesn't make sense to me that a person's collection would not consist of movies that they like watching.

[fluxrad]

You have to watch the movie for the little things, not the overriding theme (of which there was little). You have to be able to see the internal struggle that Butch has when he's talking to Marcelus (i.e. the struggle between self interest and pride). You have to be able to see the irony in Jewels' search for salvation and the absolute non-tragedy of Vincent's death (oh God, sorry for the spoilers!). These are just a couple of things I can remember off the top of my head. I haven't seen the movie in a couple of years.

But you don't have to derive an all encompassing theme from the movie because it is, in the end...pulp fiction. Maybe that's the point.

[tolbiny]

But what you forget is that this movie resurrected John Revolta's career, and therefore is among the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity.

[David04]

Thanks a lot. That makes sense. And you're right, I was looking for one overall theme. Like you mentioned, there really wasn't one.

Pulp Fiction is one of those rare movies which appeal to people who can get a bit higher on their abstract thinking level than average.

You dont watch that kind of movies for the plot, you dont watch for action or for deep emotions.

You watch it for absurd fun, for witty dialogs, for style and undefined "something" that just hangs in the air there.

You just have to like those kind of movies - where form&style is far more important then content.

When i look back at my favourite movies - they are just like that : not much of a sense in plot, but tons of fun to watch again and again.

Examples ?

Swingers - guys hangin out in LA, hitting on girls
Big Lebowski - guys hanging out in LA, going bowling
Human Traffic - guys hanging out in UK, going clubbing

So, nothing really happens in those movies - but i know every frame of each by heart.
