Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

I think Quentin creates films that are masterpieces of creativity, just like Kubrick uses imagery. This film has really great characters who just come across with dialog that doesnt so much ring with wit but with imagination. The film uses actors who just turn their roles into scene stealers again and again. It is about gangsters who work for the big boss Maurice. Maurice doesnt show up too much except for a cat and mouse run that turns into a trial of shame and pain for this heavyweight criminal. Willis doesnt say too much, but he reflects his nonverbal as stoic until he turns into a baby talker with his uniquely attractive french girlfriend with a very round apple face. The two main thugs are Fishburne and Travolta, they both do a good job. I like the way Fishburne uses his speech and articulates so eloquently, he finally feels his bible verse during a murder raid, which will change his life. He decides to become a savior to another mixed up couple during a coffee shop burgler gone wrong. Travolta and Thurman are the most inventive and I loved when they share an intimate outing with drugs overtaking the real connection. They do the twist at a rock a billy diner with the old caddy cars as booths for the lucky few. Keitel plays an organized yuppie sweeper almost seen as godlike by his fame of handling dirty jobs so perfectly. He has a short take but its another creme de le creme character. The things I liked were the cool connection of the Travolta and Thurman, the twist and the fun of showing off their style. I liked Thurmans camera director meeting with him. She displays this air of creativity and in the moment fun even though on a high. Filming is fun, I liked to do little short character takes or shooting your friends like an interview. It was different. I liked the coffee shop. I liked the motel with the anonimity and intimacy they shared, with the overcast skies. I liked the thought of a big breakfast with blueberry pancakes and sausages with lots of maple syrup. I liked that they could go anywhere and experience great adventures like Bora Bora. I liked that Willis went back to help the oppressor out of so much degradation. I liked the way Fishburne wanted to walk the planet, meeting others sharing moments and being open to life. A must see flick.

Bought this movie for my friend and he loves it. It is one of his all time favorite movies!!!

Bought this for my husbands birthday and it was good. Initially when we watched it I thought, hmm, I wish this was a directors cut or unedited or something. After then watching the 2nd disc and hearing the method behind the madness of deleting parts the director had, it made the movie more complete and understandably enjoyable.
I was a little bummed by the box it came in. It arrived warped.

This classic film may seem a bit odd at 1st, with it's swapping around with the timeline (i.e. it seems like they made the film and then reshuffled various sections round). But when you get used to that, you will find the film brilliant. It has a lot of diffrent little inter-combined stories in it, which makes it very good. The music forPulp Fiction is really good and the sound track is worth having as well. This film is exciting and keeps moving and dosn't have a boring moment. It has a brilliant start and leave's you with a mystery by the end (just like the Italien Job)
Great film buy it is one of the best films ever.

When I first saw this film in 1995, I didn't quite get it, since then I have gotten almost all of Quentin Taratino's films ("Jackie Brown", "Deathproof", "Kill Bill 1 & 2", "From Dusk til Dawn") & now this one, why I ignored this one for so long I don't know, AMC aired it recently & I found myself enjoying it much more than I did in 1995, & had to get it too, Taratino is the kind of filmaker that Hollywood used to have many of, but no longer has anymore, his writing style really jumps out at you, Samuel L.Jackson is at his usual best, no one can swear like Jackson, his swearing makes me laugh every time, I have just about all of his films, he is definately one of my favorite actors that I feel doesn't get the recognition he deserves most of the time, & Taratino revived John Travolta's career here just as he revived the late David Carradine's in "Kill Bill", even Michael Keaton & Robert DeNiro took a pay cut to work with Taratino on "Jackie Brown", & I think Bruce Willis did too on this one, anyway in this one, you have three interwoven stories with Jackson & Travolta as hitmen for Ving Rhames(Con-Air, Dark Blue) who is a boxing promoter who is married to Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), with Bruce Willis as a boxer who crosses Rhames after refusing to throw a fight, but the real highlight is Jackson & Travolta's moments, the one with Taratino himself, the one with Harvey Keitel as a fixer somewhat, & especially the diner sequence where Jackson belittles a would be robber (Tim Roth), I get this one now, I think what I didn't like when I first saw it, was the mixing up of scenes, but now I get it, & this is definately Taratino's crown jewel, & a must own DVD!
