Pulp Fiction

Pulp fiction is a Film about crime in the Los Angeles, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. This was the first film to really make it big for him, and it really defines his style as a writer and director. His style since this movie has remained mainly the same, tweaking itself each time just a little to match the vibe of the movie. His use of popular music in his films at unexpected times in his movies to make the watcher uncomfortable is often accentuated by his use of dark, rude humor to truly turn the scenes in many of his crime/war movies into the daunting, frightening situations they are meant to portray. This is shown in Pulp fiction in the breakfast scene. The two main characters, Jules and Vincent Vega, are sent to deal with some flakey business associates of their boss, Marcellus Wallace. In this scene Tarantino only uses natural light to emphasize the fact that this is supposed to be a real life event, and this makes Vincent and Jules' performance stand out as forced, and rehearsed, as if done many times before, and is part of their ritual when sent to kill.
