Cold blooded killers to heavy drug use, in this review I will be talking about the most popular Quentin Tarantino movie “Pulp Fiction”.
Pulp
Fiction is a 1994 movie that was directed, written and even starred Quentin
Tarantino. The movie is about the lives of two hit men Vince (Played by John
Travolta) and Jules (Played by Samuel L. Jackson), a boxer known as Butch
(Played by Bruce Willis), a gangsters wife Mia (Played by Uma Thurman) and two
diner bandits named Ringo and Yolanda (Played by Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer).
The
movie uses many professional and creative camera shots in the movie the most
notable being the shot from the boot of the hit men’s car in the first part of
the movie, the constant use of close ups and focus shots makes us ‘focus’ on a
certain character or event that is put on the screen. The locations of the film
make it a top quality thriller film for example tight corridors in Butch’s old
apartment, the basement in the gun store, and the busy streets.
Pulp
Fiction uses the elements of a thriller movie (like dangerous locations, a
realistic setting which comes through drug barons and locations, cramped locations
such as corridors and rooms and boot of vehicles).
The
film also mixes black comedy and dresses it within a thriller movie, the funny
moments include the hit men (who are displayed as two laid back and sarcastic
men) especially when Vince shoots Marvin the reactions of the two just make the
situation worse which combines the genres together (the guns and violence
promoting the thriller, and the reactions of the men which lastly promote black
comedy).
Overall,
the movie is ambitious, the use of professional and effective camera angles
really empathise the power of the hit men (boot of the car scene when we look
up the hit men connoting authority and power) and the black comedy which gives
the movie a dynamic and ambitious feel.
Indeed a great movie, and your commentary reflects your enthusiasm for film. Enjoyable to read.
