Pulp Fiction: A Classic

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CAU chapter.

I am the biggest Quentin Tarantino fan, it’s not even funny. I am such a big fan that I have a shirt that says “Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino.” With that being said, I decided to write this article on my favorite movie by him, Pulp Fiction. This is because of the fact this weekend while I was at Whole Foods, Samuel L. Jackson was there! (As I was wearing the “Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino” shirt!)

No, I didn’t meet him, but to have the chance to talk to him about the love of his characters in Quentin Tarantino movies would’ve been a great conversation. Since I am traumatized and truly hurt because I didn’t get to talk to this man, let’s discuss my favorite Quentin Tarantino movie which he stars in and that you must watch!

Pulp Fiction

The  Pulp Fiction narrative is told out of chronological order, and pursues three primary interrelated stories: Mob contract executioner Vincent Vega is the hero of the principal story, boxer Butch Coolidge is the hero of the second, and Vincent’s accomplice Jules Winnfield is the hero of the third. The film starts with a cafe hold-up arranged by a couple, at that point moves to the accounts of Vincent, Jules, and Butch. It at long last comes back to where it started, in the burger joint. There is a sum of seven account successions. The three essential storylines are gone before by intertitles.

 

“Prologue– The Diner” (I)

 

Prelude to “Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace’s Wife”

 

“Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace’s Wife”

 

Prelude to “The Gold Watch” (a – flashback, b – present)

 

“The Gold Watch”

 

“The Bonnie Situation”

 

“Epilog – The Diner” (ii)

 

On the off chance that the seven successions were requested sequentially, they would run; 4a, 2, 6, 1, 7, 4b, 3, 5. Arrangements 1 and 7 somewhat cover and are exhibited from various perspectives, as do successions 2 and 6.

Assassins Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega touch base at a condo to recover a folder case for their boss, gangster Marsellus Wallace, from a partner, Brett. After Vincent checks the substance of the briefcase, Jules shoots one of Brett’s partners, at that point declaims an entry from the Bible before he and Vincent execute Brett for endeavoring to deceive Marsellus. They take the briefcase to Marsellus, yet need to pause while he fixes champion boxer Butch Coolidge to take a make a plunge his forthcoming match.

The following day, Vincent buys heroin from his drug dealer, Lance. He shoots up, at that point drives to meet Marsellus’ significant other Mia, whom he consents to escort while Marsellus is away. They eat at a 1950s-themed eatery and take an interest in a twist challenge, at that point return home with the trophy. While Vincent is in the restroom, Mia discovers his heroin, thinking its cocaine, snorts it, and overdoses. Vincent rushes her to Lance’s home, where they restore her with an adrenaline shot to her heart.

Butch deceives Marsellus and wins the boxing match coincidentally murdering his opponent. At the motel where he and his better half Fabienne are hiding and getting ready to escape town, Butch finds she has left his dad’s gold watch, a cherished treasure, and flies into a fierceness. Coming back to his condo to recover the watch, he sees a firearm on the kitchen counter and hears the can flush. Vincent exits the bathroom and Butch shoots him dead.

As Butch waits at a traffic light in his car, Marsellus spots him by shot and pursues him into a second-hand store. The owner, Maynard, catches them at gunpoint and ties them up in the cellar. Maynard is joined by Zed, a security protect; they take Marsellus to another space to assault him, leaving the “gimp”, a quiet figure in a servitude suit, to watch Butch. Butch loosens up and thumps out the gimp. He is going to escape yet chooses to spare Marsellus, coming back with a katana from the pawnshop. He executes Maynard; Marsellus recovers Maynard’s shotgun and shoots Zed. Marsellus tells Butch that they are even, as long as he informs nobody regarding the assault and leaves Los Angeles. Butch grabs Fabienne on Zed’s chopper.

Prior, after Vincent and Jules have executed Brett in his apartment, another man blasts out of the bathroom and shoots at them uncontrollably, missing unfailingly; Jules and Vincent kill him. Jules chooses their survival was a supernatural occurrence, which Vincent debate. As Jules drives, Vincent coincidentally shoots Brett’s partner Marvin in the face. They rush the car at the home of their partner Jimmie, who demands they manage the issue before his better half returns home. Marsellus sends his cleaner, Winston Wolfe, who coordinates Jules and Vincent to clean the auto, conceal the body in the storage compartment, discard their grisly garments, and take the auto to a junkyard.

 

At a coffee shop, Jules expresses to Vincent that he intends to resign from his life of crime, persuaded that their “supernatural” survival at the apartment was a sign. While Vincent is in the bathroom, a couple, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, hold up the coffee shop. Jules overwhelms Pumpkin and holds him at gunpoint; Honey Bunny winds up insane and trains her weapon on him. Vincent comes back with his weapon prepared on her, making a Mexican standoff. Jules discusses the scriptural section, communicates indecision about his life of crime, and enables the thieves to take his money and leave. Jules and Vincent leave the coffee shop with the briefcase.

Pulp Fiction is one of the greatest movies ever made and this isn’t an option it’s a fact, Google it. I love this movie to death as well many of Quentin Tarantino movies, although I told you about the movie still watch it at least twice so you make sense of the order of the movie. Trust me you won’t regret watching it.
