Review of Pulp Fiction
One of my favorite movies of all time is Pulp Fiction. What I like about it most is the unique use of dialogue that it has. I think that all of Tarantino's movies have this very interesting type of dialogue where the characters will talk on seriously and intently about a particular event or story, with lots of detail. They are like regular everyday conversations one might have in real life, but you wouldn't think there is any place for them in a move. In Pulp Fiction, Vincent and Jules are just taking casually in their car about what a quarter pounder is called in France after they just killed a bunch of people. Another part that is memorable is Jules' bible speach before he kills people. Another part of the movie I like is the nonlinear stroyline. It involves a lot of different plots that all get tied together at the end. Also, I think that the characters in the movie are very unique. Rarely do we see such a strange cast of people in a film. There are no standard, cookie-cutter type characters. They are all unique and unexpected, like the rapists in the pawn shop. Its like, who would've thought of that?
