Pulp fiction Film Review

Pulp Fiction is a drama / crime film where you follow 3 different plot lines throughout the film. This was directed by Quentin Tarrantino and it came out in 1994. At the time this film was very unique in many ways. the film does things that you don't expect and take the story in different directions. It doesn't follow the normal narrative structures like most films. The film is separated into 3 different parts. these 3 stores are loosely connected. The film begins with a little prelude where there are two thieves ,that are as married, contemplating weather they should rob the diner that they are eating at. this scene interesting because it establishes these two people and shows that they are used to doing this and they are decent at doing what they do. You can also sense the chemistry between these two characters with the audience not knowing exactly knowing  what their relationship is until you see them kiss. The scene is shot in a strange way with it jumping around from a wider shot with both of them in the booth or the close up shot of their faces. this is probably done to show how fast their conversation is going. 

The first  story follows two hit men called Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield  son a mission to receive a briefcase for their boss, Marsellus Wallace, . The scene leading up to to them getting the briefcase is very interesting in the way the two characters interact with each other. As a watcher I can relate to these characters because they are coming across as real people have a real conversation. Their conversation is very simple with them just in the car having a talking about the differences between the McDonald menu in Europe and the U.S.A. Watching this i fell that this can easily be a conversation I can have with my friend. The film does a good job of establish these two people as friend which makes me care for them more as an audience member. there are a lot of close up shots from the side of the two main character faces in the car. this is done so the viewer can easily put them self in that seat and see from their point of view.  

The film ends with Vincent and Jules getting some breakfast and a diner. While in the restaurant they have one of their strange conversations again. Jules says how he doesn't eat pork because he believes that pigs a filthy animals. The director does this because the general audience might just see these two as hitmen and nothing else but Tarantino wants to show as normal people that are just talking like friends. Jules then goes on to talk about leaving the life of being a hitman. this conversation is only shot with close ups bouncing from the two actors face. This is done to show that their conversion is getting very intense and heated.Then we find out that the restaurant that they are in is the same restaurant that the two thieve were in at the start of the movie , just before they decide to rob the place.

The two thieves pull out their guns and they go crazy threatening to shot people and just trying to scare everyone in the restaurant. I really enjoy how this scene is shot. There's a lot of shaky cam and the camera follows them around while they're  threatening every one. This is done to show how manic and crazy this situation is and maybe to show the fear of some of the people in the restaurant . While this is happening it cuts to Vincent sitting on the toilet peacefully reading a book which contrasts all the wild things happening outside and it also comes across very comical for the viewer. One of the robbers then goes to Jules and you can see that he his very confidend you can see it in the way he's sitting, he's very relaxed. even when a gun is pointing right at him. Jules then show him whats in  the briefcase and. this is shot very interestingly because we never see what is in the briefcase throughout the whole film. Tarantino said briefcase contains whatever you want it to.
