Pulp Fiction (1994)


Ezekiel 25:17




Pulp Fiction is a gigantic bubble of classic what-the-f*ckism. When this bubble first explodes in your face, you're surprised. Surprised because you discover the weirdest cast combo and it all works. Willis, Travolta and Keitel together? It sounds like an epic drunken dream but it's brilliant. Then you blink a few times because you can't believe what you see and it's rapidly entering your system. Quentin Tarantino puts a simple mobster tale in a shaker and mixes it with a memorable soundtrack seasoned with random bits of bible, and quarter pounder with cheese. He serves this with his typical nonlinear and intriguing plot. The subtle mixture is spiced up by charismatic characters delivering quotable logorrhea. The funky atmosphere melts into the violent yet non-disturbing Tarantino nonchalance. I believe it's not disturbing because it doesn't make you feel uneasy. A Tarantino movie always makes you laugh even if the topic is hardcore. That's Tarantino magic. Pulp Fiction is definitely a must-see. It's part of 90s memorabilia and belongs to every movie buff's collection.

1 reason to watch it: it's a Tarantino movie, is this enough of a reason?
