Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino (1994) is a thriller film. As we know this movie is the first big hit Tarantino produced.
The movie story takes place in L.A. and is about two killers or more specific hitmen (John Travolta-Vincent and Samuel Jackson-Jules) who are supposed to get back a suitcase that was stolen from Marsellus Wallace(Ving Rhames) a major kingpin who is working with a boxer who failed to throw a fight and now is planning to flee the city. These two hitmen are in running into a dew unexpected detours along the movie road. Vincent takes care of Wallace’s daughter (Mia-Uma Thurman).
Some of these people redeem themselves and some don’t and all meet an appropriate ending due to their choices.
Inside the movie we can find an amazing crew doing a great work on the character work, for example John Travolta and Samuel Jackson, they did complement themselves in an incredible way. Both of them have an amazing style and Uma Thruman is not that far from them. Going deeper to the characters we find that Vince (John Travolta) was a heroine yonki, he has traveled all around europe and he is a very loyal ”worker”. Then we have his bro, Jules (Samuel Jackson) he also works in the same gang as Vincent, Jules was a very important part of one of the best scenes in the movie, when he is reading the bible. And at the end we have the daughter of the kingpin Mia Wallace (Uma Thruman) cocaine and cigarette user, she also appears in one of the best scenes, when she inhales heroine instead of cocaine, after it an amazing adrenaline shot scene is done to save her life, she and Vincent are in love of each other.
The film contains a mix of American rock and roll, pop, soul and some similar music. The soundtrack consists of 9 songs from the movie and seven songs from the movie were not in the cd soundtrack of the movie, there is one remarkable song, Girl, you’ll be a woman soon, this song was one of the hottest at the moment (1994) and in my opinion the music type really connects with the movie topic.
In conclusion Pulp Fiction can be considered as a master piece because it was made with a ”low budget” and it was something really different from the normal movies at that time. In my opinion everyone must watch this movie.
