Pulp
Fiction is an unapologetic story which has multiple sub-plots that are
influenced by, or revolve around a Los Angeles crime lord Marsellus
Wallace (Ving Rhames). The mini sub-plots involve two hit men,
Marsellus Wallace’s wife Mia, an aging boxer, and a pair of
lovebird thieves, which all brilliantly come together to tell one story
in non-linear fashion. In my opinion, the stars were shining
bright, the moons were properly aligned and time stood still for
Quentin Tarintino wrote and directed Pulp Fiction, one of the greatest
movies ever developed on Kodak film. Samuel L Jackson, is not a
great actor in my opinion, but his performance as the hit man Jules
Winnfield, explodes in this film and was so brilliant that 10 horrible
movies later, Jackson is still reaping the benefits by receiving 20
million dollar contracts in the mere hope that he will muster half the
performance he displayed in Pulp Fiction. This is the kind of
movie that comes once every 20 years, because unlike the hundreds of
millions of dollars it takes to make a Titanic or a Lord of the Rings,
Pulp Fiction only needed a directing genius, slick and well timed
editing, actors digging deep to revive their lost careers, and the
coolest compilation of music you would ever hear in a single
film. If you watch Pulp Fiction and you don’t like it, watch
it again. If you still don’t like it, watch it
again. After watching it three times you still don’t like
it, go rent “Bad Boys II” or something because you know
nothing about good film making. Ok I’m just
kidding. Ok, no I’m not.
