Movie Review: Pulp Fiction

Ranked number 5 on IMDB's top 250 movies, Pulp Fiction is known as one of the best pictures of all time. It was released in 1994, a year that included other movie greats such as Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption. Directed by Quentin Tarantino, Pulp Fiction has an "A" list of actors including Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, and Uma Thurman.

Pulp Fiction is the story about how four different person's lives intertwine with violence and mob activity. The movie shows glimpses from each individual's viewpoint and brings it all together towards the end. When viewing the movie, the viewer can feel the uniqueness of it's directing style, which is very intriguing.

I laughed out loud when I first saw John Travola as a mobster, knowing him from movies such as Grease and Hairspray, but he fit his part extremely well. Samuel L. Jackson was very entertaining through his "bad-ass" attitude towards the other characters with amusing punchlines in almost every scene. I also enjoyed that Pulp Fiction included 3 or 4 main characters, not focusing on one specific person.

By using great actors as well as impressive directing, Quentin Tarantino did a fantastic job with Pulp Fiction. I recommend this movie to everyone except children because of the use of vulgar language and frequent gore. This movie offers much more than just explaining why a quarter-pounder with cheese in France is called a royale with cheese. Go see it!
