Pulp Fiction

pulp/pʌlp/ a soft, wet, shapeless mass of material.

Cheap pulp paper was used for the pages of the original pulp magazines, made in the 1890s and inspired  Quentin Tarantion's Pulp Fiction a film that contains  numerous references to other films using a non-linear timeline and following a course of events that escalate spontaneously, depicted through; gangsterism, violence, sex, crime and drugs. I could argue that it not being in cohesive/chronological order, it could perhaps be alluding to the fact that like violence it is senseless and thus has no order in any manner for instance in the the second scene with Jules and Vincent (the two hitmen in the film ) killed two men in cold blood for reasons we never find out about. Tieing it back to the unpredictable nature of death and violence there could never be a good reason for a person to die and yet people still die. Morality, Character arcs and redemption are the main themes in the film as we follow the story of a Boxer, a drug lord's wife, and two hitmen who just do life with well-written dialogue and interesting cinematography. An artwork about art. This was a film we watched for film appreciation and throughout the duration of the film a whirlwind of emotions was expressed in class from hysterical laughter to tense silence to complete and utter shock. Overall a brilliant film that anyone would find to be an interesting watch.
