Pulp Fiction is 1994 neo-noir crime film directed and written by Quentin Tarantino. And follows a several stories: Hit men, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and a pair of diner bandits. And all the stories intersect in narrative structure. So we don't know exactly what is happening in this film until we watch!
Pulp Fiction is a terrific film. It also gets better with each viewing, especially if one of those happens to be on a big theatrical screen where all of the big compositions get bigger and more detailed. How much else is there to talk about it after all these years? A lot, but let me discuss one by one.
Part 1: Dialogue
The dialogue in this movie is not plot driven. The purpose with the dialogue is to set up the characters and entertain the audience, that it succeed with. It's filled with dynamite, sudden and always interesting action, great and naturally clever dialogue. The dialogue is also what makes this movie so funny. Tarantino (the director) like to use phrases that means the same thing as more common use phrases but is so much funnier.
Part 2: Acting
Amazing dialogue without a good delivery is nothing and nearly as entertaining. Luckily for this movie the acting is great and they deliver the dialogue perfect. In this film we've got John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel and Christopher Walken that plays great performances. And don't forget Quentin Tarantino himself. Also, the acting is always something to behold as by turns straightforward, over the top, subtle, and just downright menacing and spot-on.
Part 3: Soundtrack
The music also is important to set the tone and ad to the fantastic experience. So it is with what we hear in this movie. The soundtrack. The soundtrack always draws our attention to scene after scene from opening to end, always feels cool and fits in every appearance. Not even easy to forget for all the viewers who watch it. We've got "Misirlou"', "Jungle Boogie", "Son of Preacher Man", "You Never Can Tell" and all of those songs always make an impression.
Part 4: Cinematography
Like the soundtrack the cinematography is just awesome. The bright colors and the typical stile Tarantino have when he shot movies is perfect and fits to the noir genre. The camera told us that this is a fun experience that you gotta watch, not a very crime dark movie with some serious story. Believe me, this is a fun film.
Part 5: Directing & Script
The directing is one of the strongest that we've seen from Tarantino, as he makes his choices in pacing with shots in unconventional ways but never in a way that would be distracting. And this might be the best script of all time execute to perfection. It's in the script all the joke is and it is the script that have the perfect linked story. But the script also have the three different time-lines that makes this movie one of the most re-watchable movie of all time. And that's make Pulp Fiction is a funny, mysterious, and gorgeously written movie that's a time-capsule for the 90s.
Overall, Pulp Fiction is a darkly humorous, colourful and hard-to-guess story that's still loved to this very day, and for damn good reason: It is a film that has a little bit of wisdom something for everyone.
