Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction was a movie filled with every genre. At times we had romance, others violence, lines with comedy, and then tragedy strikes here and there. During the first few scenes I was confused by the movie and had no idea where it was going to go. The movie incorporates four different stories that connect through violence and redemption.

This movie received a ton of praise because of its unique and powerful dialogue. One critic showed an example of this; the conversation between Butch and Fabienne right after Butch kills another man in the fighting match. The conversation is;

Fabienne: says she has been looking in the mirror and wants a pot belly.

Butch: You have one?

Fabienne: If I had one, I would wear a t-shirt two sizes too small, to accentuate it.

Afterwards she says, “Its unfortunate what we find pleasing to the touch and pleasing to the eye are seldom the same.”

During this dialogue, he introduces a new character and immediately we understand her personality. He creates lines for his characters, not to waste or pass time, but to further the plot. Behind every line, there is a meaning and these lines contribute to his overall success in his movies.
