Pulp Fiction
“Pulp Fiction” consists of several episodes which are all connected. It starts with two couples talking about robbing a restaurant, and when they start their move, the scene suddenly changes into the credits. Out of nowhere, after the credits, they show us Vincent(John Travolta) and Jules(Samuel L. Jackson) having a small-talk while they are on their way to fix boss’ problem. As you can see, the storyline is nonlinear, so it can be puzzling at first glance. However, I think that is what makes “Pulp Fiction” so interesting.
The movie’s unconventional structure and extensive use of homage have led critics to describe it as a prime example of postmodern film. For that reason, there is nothing that we could call climax. But still, it is so fascinating that it catches our eyes. I think Quentin Tarantino opened new genres with this movie. So, I highly recommend this movie to you.
