Pulp Fiction is a 1994 American crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, who co-wrote its screenplay with Roger Avary. The film is known for its rich, eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, nonlinear storyline, and host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. It was also awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. A major critical and commercial success, it revitalized the career of its leading man, John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.
Directed in a highly stylized manner, Pulp Fiction joins the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles mobsters, fringe players, small-time criminals, and a mysterious briefcase. Considerable screen time is devoted to conversations and monologues that reveal the characters' senses of humor and perspectives on life. The film's title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue. Pulp Fiction is self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of "pulp". The plot, as in many of Tarantino's other works, is presented out of chronological sequence.
The picture's self-reflexivity, unconventional structure, and extensive use of homage and pastiche have led critics to describe it as a prime example of postmodern film. Considered by some critics a black comedy, the film is also frequently labeled a "neo-noir". Critic Geoffrey O'Brien argues otherwise: "The old-time noir passions, the brooding melancholy and operatic death scenes, would be altogether out of place in the crisp and brightly lit wonderland that Tarantino conjures up. [It is] neither neo-noir nor a parody of noir". Similarly, Nicholas Christopher calls it "more gangland camp than neo-noir", and Foster Hirsch suggests that its "trippy fantasy landscape" characterizes it more definitively than any genre label. Pulp Fiction is viewed as the inspiration for many later movies that adopted various elements of its style. The nature of its development, marketing, and distribution and its consequent profitability had a sweeping effect on the field of independent cinema (although it is not an independent film itself). Considered a cultural watershed, Pulp Fiction's influence has been felt in several other media.
This is one of my all time favorites. Not for younger audiences though.

Jules: [Vincent and Jules are cleaning the inside of the car which is covered in blood] Oh, man, I will never forgive your ass for this shit. This is some fucked-up repugnant shit.
Vincent: Jules, did you ever hear the philosophy that once a man admits that he's wrong that he is immediately forgiven for all wrongdoings? Have you ever heard that?
Jules: Get the fuck out my face with that shit! The motherfucker that said that shit never had to pick up itty-bitty pieces of skull on account of your dumb ass.
Vincent: I got a threshold, Jules. I got a threshold for the abuse that I will take. Now, right now, I'm a fuckin' race car, right, and you got me the red. And I'm just sayin', I'm just sayin' that it's fuckin' dangerous to have a race car in the fuckin' red. That's all. I could blow.
Jules: Oh! Oh! You ready to blow?
Vincent: Yeah, I'm ready to blow.
Jules: Well, I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker, motherfucker! Every time my fingers touch brain, I'm Superfly T.N.T., I'm the Guns of the Navarone!

You know a move is fucking famous when that starts to happen.

This is still one of my favourite movies ever, it's such a classic. A movie like this could never be made nowadays. I'm amazed at the number of people who haven't seen this yet.

Not sure if that's the way that line went, but it was still hilarious.

I think I know what was in the briefcase.
It's probably his soul.
35 Name: Solace!o0GOqY0U0w : 2014-03-28 10:30 ID:KNK8gQBx [Del]
There's this theory floating around that it's boss-man Wallace's soul that he had removed from the back of his neck and placed in the briefcase but I'm not really sure if I buy it.

Don't know what's in the briefcase, and frankly I don't care. It's valuable, and everyone seems to want it. It is the plot device that sparks so many events in the story that have nothing to do with it at all. That's one of many reasons why this is Tarantino's best film.
38 Name: Enigami : 2016-08-01 07:45 ID:qOuP13Dn [Del]
Eyyyyyyy, I just posted how this was my favorite movie in the favorite movie thread!
It really is Tarantino's best, though. Especially compared to Hateful Eight. I honestly didn't really care for that one.

Love this movie
41 Name: Bulma!gfkvD0.aME : 2016-08-22 10:16 ID:TfLEWvZg [Del]
>>38 Im a Tarantino nutter, I loved the Hateful Eight - Pulp Fiction is a classic and its hard for a director with such a strong back catalogue to outdo his previous films.
The best thing about Quinton is that he does whatever he wants, doesn't care for negative feedback from press or public. I think he's a genius - on par with the likes of Kubrick.
Resevoir Dogs is my favourite - and the movies he's written for (True Romance and Natural Born Killers ect) are all top class
42 Name: Bulma!gfkvD0.aME : 2016-08-22 10:16 ID:TfLEWvZg [Del]
Oh also, he's working on Kill Bill Vol. 3 apparently - might be his last movie he directs, writes and produces!

>>42 I remember reading and being excited for this years ago. At this point, I highly doubt it'll happen. Could be cool, though.
Hateful Eight was great. Loved it, saw it twice - once in both formats. Hope the extended version gets a wide release at some point.

>>2 you know theres a fan theory about Vince and Jules being knights of the round table, and the brief case being the holy grail, will a lot of parallels it makes weird sense, links to Juel's faith, forgiveness and bible speech, Vince's time in france yada yada
