Pulp Fiction (1994) Is *FULL* of *CRAZY* Situations! - First Time Watching - Movie Reaction/Review

[@marshallturner1]

19:54 This is why I love you guys. I've been watched this movie countless times over the years, and I've NEVER pieced together that their dancing matches their individual highs (nor the previous one about Mia insisting on Jack Rabbit Slim's because she's still chasing the dream of stardom). Thank you for that delightful observation, gave me an ever greater appreciation of this masterpiece, as well as the laugh I needed! 😂

[@carlesmacuaid]

Maybe it does but I'm not even sure Tarantino had that level of detail in his head. On the Graham Norton Show he said that twists can be sort of boring so in his head he wanted Vincent to have sort of a rigid style and he wanted Uma to recreate one of the cats dancing from the Aristocats movie.

I think it depends on how old you are and how much you are paying attention. I tried putting this on for my kids when they were like 13ish and they found it boring and did not get past the first 15 minutes, they stopped paying attention and started playing on their tablets. So technically they “saw” it cause they were sitting on the couch while it played but they missed most of it and couldn’t name a scene afterwards to save their lives. Five years later i tried again and they loved it, lol.

So 1994 had Pulp Fiction #8 on IMDB, Forest Gump #11 and The Shawshank Redemption #1. Hell of a year for movies.

Btw, check out all of the other movies from 1994: Interview with the Vampire, The Crow, Four weddings and a Funeral, Clerks, Speed, The Mask, Ace Ventura, Ed Wood, True Lies, Dumb and Dumber, Stargate, Natural Born Killers... And I didn't even include a few I didn't watch. We're never getting this kind of quality back.

[@uberd0gAlpha]

It also had Tammy and the T-Rex, so it evens out.

[@quwykxz]

@@lemmypop1300 That.s because film makers back then were more interested in making something #1 - actually good and/or interesting, and #2 - original, unlike today (and for about the last 20 or so years), when so-called "film makers" are mostly intersted in cash grabs. so all they make are sequels/prequels, remakes, and franchise reboots.

[@lemmypop1300]

@@quwykxz I know this will sound bad, but I think that the fall of Miramax has a lot to do with the sad state of movies today. They were the company that funded a lot of interesting movies that had both commercial and artistic appeal, and in turn brought indie way of thinking into the mainstream. (I'm in no way shape or form trying to excuse Harvey W, this is one of those cases where we should separate the art from the 'artist'.) There are some who try to do something similar today, A24 for example. But then most of really interesting stuff just goes to streaming and doesn't get widespread acclaim like it was the case until 2010's.

Tarantino basically made nonlinear storytelling sexy again. I'm old enough to remember that flashbacks were extremely frowned upon at the time. I have gotten to despise them myself now. Few can expertly shuffle a timeline as a deck of cards the way Tarantino can. Most of the time they seem to be to make up for poor story telling. It's a tool that should be used properly. And Tarantino's use here was essentially because this movie is three short stories.

Okay, so you raised a point that now makes sense to me when you asked why Vincent was solo in the apartment, and I’ve seen this movie 3-4 times now. I’m thinking…. The reason he was alone in the apartment with the gun is because of this movies time jumps. Julian gave up the life after the restaurant and Vincent was at the apartment job solo when he died. Does anyone agree or am I out to lunch? This is a movie that definitely requires multiple viewings to piece the timeline together.

Mia snorted the heroin thinking it was cocaine, that´s the detoning to had the overdose (heroin can be snorted as well, but the most common way it´s like Vincent did, using a needle. Also Mia was fully drugged in that moment). And Vincent goes a lot to the bath, due to he´s an heroin addict, and that provokes you, sometimes, constipation. Even the shot to Marvin´s face, it´s due to heroin, that also provokes you spasms (in this case pulling the trigger).

[@joeb588]

Tons of easter eggs of course as I’m sure you’ll see in the comments. One of the important ones is that Marcellus Wallace popping out in front of Butch’s car isn’t totally random, he was waiting with Vincent as they were staking out his place but went to get coffee and donuts. That’s also why Vincent doesn’t react as he must hear Butch walking around from the bathroom (he assumes it’s Marcellus who just popped out to go around the corner). I also choose to believe that the gun on the counter is one of Marcellus’ guns instead of Vincent’s as it would seem silly for Vincent to leave his only gun on the counter when he’s staking out a place to kill a guy.

You guys are onto something with the choices/redemption angle. Tarantino has gone back and forth over the years on how intentional that was (which makes me suspect that stuff came more from co-writer Roger Avery) but Samuel Jackson has said in interviews that the movie's about redemption. Ultimately, what we see in the Pulp Fiction script is what you see in most good scripts: Each character represents a different possible expression of the theme. In this case, each character is given a decision-point where they can make a choice between (for lack of better terms) being good or being bad, and the choice they make affects how they come out of the story. Specifically: (1) Jules sees "the miracle" and chooses to leave the criminal life. As a result, he (presumably) lives to see another day; (2) Vincent sees "the miracle" and chooses to continue making his bad choices (crime, heroin). His choices lead to him being killed (staying in the criminal life put him in Butch's apartment and the constipation that comes with heroin addiction put him in the bathroom at the wrong time); (3) Butch initially makes a bad choice (crossing Marcellus, the mob boss) and, as a result, is in danger of being killed, BUT then he makes a good choice (going back to save Marcellus from Zed and Maynard). As a result, Butch gets to live (and presumably keep the money he got from not throwing the fight). The more you analyze good movies, the more you see this pattern play out over and over again. Every character is there to illustrate one possible path that could be taken through the story/theme, with the protagonist -- in movies that have a singular protagonist -- generally being the one who ultimately makes the "right" choice(s). Of course, Pulp Fiction is actually three classic pulp fiction stories woven together, so we have three protagonists, which is an interesting twist on the formula. Especially when you consider that, although Vincent ultimately chooses poorly and gets himself killed, in the story in which he's the protagonist (the one where he takes Mia out), he makes the right choices and manages to come out of it okay. You **could** argue that he might've ended up succumbing to temptation had Mia's OD not derailed the evening, but he was, up until that point, resisting temptation and planning to not cross the line with Mia so, y'know, he was on the right path for that story and made it out alive.

[@jamesvonborcke]

Should include with (3) that Zed's bike, which Butch ends up with, has "Grace" on its tank.

[@thirdhandlv4231]

Feel like its about a lot of things, i feel like both the pawn shop scene from this and a specific shot from Reservoir Dogs represent a sort of ''you dont know what these places are hiding'' sort of thing. In reservoir there is a shot of Mr. Blonde walking out of the warehouse during the torture scene and the camera follows him outside, all the way to his car, where he picks up the gas can and then goes back inside, all in a single shot. The way the song and interior ambience switch to the outside (kids playing, outside shit happening sort of sounds) its like a completely different world. Feel like that shot specifically is commenting on this idea, and the pawn shop scene in this movie is doing something similar.

[@silikon2]

Butch felt like (and was) a cheat and never felt worthy of owning his father's watch. Marcellus was a bitter enemy, to put it mildly, so Butch saving him from an unthinkable fate definitely redeemed his honor. I don't think Butch the character was literally thinking any of this, but there's a reason the script had him choose a katana. After all, he could have simply called the police and told them what was happening in pawn shop.

For my money, only Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Apocalypse Now: Redux, and 2001: A Space Odyssey rank higher on my Top 5 Films of All Time List than does Pulp Fiction. I genuinely think this film is not only Quentin Tarantino's only sole true masterpiece, but is also one of the greatest films ever made of all time. It's that good, and it had that much of a deep impact upon the world of screenwriting and film directing. A landmark achievement in cinema, no question about it, the only reason Quentin prefers to call Once Upon A Time In Hollywood his favorite film and his best film is because Pulp Fiction wasn't solely written or made by Quentin alone. He had writing help for this film from writer/director Roger Avery, and also got lots of help and assistance from Weinstein's production team along with constant assistance and directing advice from the writing/directing team of brothers, the Coens, he also was in contact with writer/director/sfx/camera operating legend Sam Raimi during Pulp Fiction's production run.

As usual, very enjoyable. Let’s clear this up right away, though, so that, in such a situation, you never again have to say “I don’t know if this is quotable.” Tarantino doesn’t make movies that aren’t (even though the degree may vary). You can take it as a given that you will be finding some gems. When you hear them, you’ll just know. Rewatching it is a definite yes as well. You’ll never regret it.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

According to Tarantino, the inspiration for this movie came from the pulp fiction novels and magazines of the 30s and 40s, which were basically lurid stories about gangsters, true crime/murderers, delinquents, and other low-class (especially at the time) subject matter (and, as the intro mentioned, the books were printed on cheap, rough paper). They were basically the B-movies of novels. In those old stories, there were a number of tropes that came up a lot. E.g. (1) the henchmen showing up to murder someone who crossed the boss, (2) the henchman being tasked with babysitting the boss's wife (but don't touch!), and (3) the boxer who is ordered by the mob to throw the fight but double-crosses them. Tarantino's idea was "What if you took a few of those trope-y stories from the pulp fiction books and had them all happen in the same city over the course of a day or two, and some of the characters in each story had loose connections to characters in the other stories?" The second part of his inspiration was from old action films where, very often, the movie would start with the bad guys showing up and killing somebody, and then the movie would cut to the good guy who we'd follow for the rest of the story as he tracked down the bad guys and brought them to justice. Tarantino thought, "What if, instead of cutting to the good guy after the first scene, we just followed the henchmen through the rest of their day? What would they get up to? What kind of mundane stuff would they talk about as they went about their business?" The answers to those questions turned into Pulp Fiction.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Some people don't like all the jumping around and get lost, so I am curious what y'all will think. There are ways you can watch it more chronologically in order as well. The popular theory on the case's contents is that it is Marcellus Wallace's soul. He sold his soul to the devil to get where he is (case unlocked via 666) and the bandage on the back of his head. In Chinese culture, the soul is removed from that spot. The case is mainly a plot point to move the story along, known as a MacGuffin. Since Jules didn't get killed in that apartment because of divine intervention, he stepped away from his line of work taking the sign from God seriously. Vincent did not and gets punished by God when he gets gunned down coming out of the bathroom. Butch is close to being killed, but he goes back to help Marcellus. So two redemption stories and one stayed on the bad path and God punishes.

The “bad mo fo” wallet actually belonged to Tarantino

19:17 I've never heard this take in my life holy shit dude, good shit

[@USCanthony]

The gimp's reason for existing is to do whatever his master (or the person who is holding his leash) tells him to do not matter what they say. He loved living in that box and he would do anything that he was told to do no matter what it was..

[@chrisgrove7829]

What makes this great is just gangsters just hanging outon the job and talking about pop culture and whether a foot massage means anything. It brings so much humanity to people who are in the disposal business:)

[@ryanhampson673]

Best line in the film, hands down is "Ah man I just shot Marvin in the face."

[@JH-ti3lr]

Saw this in the theater when I was 14. Asked my Mom to take me since I was too young to see it by myself. She was like, wth did you make me take you to?! 😂 Love this movie.

[@1989NickyD]

42:24 If you look behind Jules & Vincent, you can see that the bullet holes are already in the wall before the guy comes out of the bathroom and starts shooting at them.

[@gliblyaware]

How could you not know if you've seen Pulp Fiction? It's one of the memorable movies ever made. Love it or hate it, the movie stands out!!!

[@danduhlion]

15:24 Yep, that did evolve into a masterpiece years later!

[@annaparsons4788]

Aah man...been a fan (& subscriber) of yr channel 4 close to 2 years now, still appreciating u guys...❤ your aspects on films that are ancient (LOFL) to me @ age 53...don't ever quit, sweethearts!

[@erikafigueroa5128]

Great reaction. I always viewed the movie as little stories, almost like an anthology. One of my favorite films!

[@agitatedmongoose]

How do you not know if you seen Pulp Fiction or not? Lol. It's not like it's not memorable if one likes it or not.

[@jmg4208]

Best movie ever! 1996 Trainspotting 1998 lock, stock & 2 smoking barrels 2000 Snatch if you like intertwined plot, character base story, all must watch

[@ButternutGOLD]

I love it he still has an appetite as he munches his blueberry muffin

[@killermist]

You also forget that that Zed wasn't a cop, but a security "officer". Furthermore, the guy popping out of the bathroom didn't miss. The bullets passed through them and hit the wall. Rewatch the footage.

[@rickwelch8464]

You guys remind me of me and my best friend who were your age when this came out. We still quote it back to each other when we talk.

[@tsogobauggi8721]

15:19 That would have been in season 3... ;)

[@pundrumtranambi5366]

Great way of showing this master piece. I really iked your comments as well. Have a good time!

[@MarkM430]

13:57 - Sheep do have tails.. you just never see them with one because it is common to "Dock" the tail when the lambs are a few months old. This helps prevent disease and parasite related infections caused by waste getting trapped in and around the tail. Great reaction guys... keep them coming.

[@abducteeofearth1703]

Zay was holding back some tears during the last Sam Jackson speech at the diner. 😢

[@chriswitt9804]

The very first run of VHS tapes, back when this came out, showed what is in the case. Marcellus Wallace's soul is in it, that's why he has a band aid on the back of his neck, someone stole it from him and he's trying to get it back.

[@LarryJnyc]

CAM - you handled the adrenalin shot very nicely. Thought you might have gagged

[@CoL_Drake]

Crazy he was even stepping back ... Gave me flashbacks of German police shooting a teen in the head who was running away basically executing it

[@davidcarnevale8885]

The more I see this movie, the more I appreciate it! Of the Tarantino films: this, Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained are my top 3. Always love y'alls reactions

[@larindanomikos]

Funny, Django and Inglorious are my least favorites. That could change over time. I prefer the early stuff. But there aren't any bad Tarentino films.

[@davidcarnevale8885]

@@larindanomikos oh agreed. There's no such thing as a bad one

[@MJR_heyfunny]

The Car the Wolf drove is a Acura NSX Honda's Supercar from the 90's so yeah 10 mins instead of 30 no problem.

[@dalevintage]

Butch had to fight for the watch like his forefathers did. This was his personal war. His father would have been proud. :)

[@katieyoung5916]

A colon clock 😂😂 A rectum reminder A tushy time piece Lmao literally best last Ive had all week

[@El_Bueno]

I completely DISAGREE with Butch not knowing how they hid the watch. He had to know how much shit they went through (no pun intended) to make sure it got back to him. It’s not a gen Z kid. He can take it.

[@ju4408]

Butch was the shepherd of the movie. To his woman, to his enemy, even to the watch to honor his father.

[@jyesucevitz]

22:55 red header drug dealer was the original Marty McFly. scenes with him were filmed for weeks before they said he couldn't convey the sense of humor they wanted. to me this scene shows me he can be funny.

[@hereintheyear]

I would say knocking down a film just because it might be higher art is not great, but good shit guys!

[@RoGueNavy]

Amanda Plummer has absolutely cornered the market on playing unhinged lunatics. And yeah, fast food places overseas really do sell beer. I enjoyed a Grande Mac and a San Miguel in a McDonald's in Barcelona.

[@sosaboi1352]

Well, John Travolta’s character went to the bathroom something bad happened and Julian said he was like the shepherd so when he wasn’t there to protect him, he got killed

[@jerryfick613]

Julius mentions Caine from Kung Fu in the diner. David Caradine, who portrays the eponymous Bill, also played Caine.

[@ashifaction]

Did you notice that the bullet holes were already in the wall before Seinfeld comes out shooting..😂😂

[@TheGundamsword]

You know Maya Hawk (Robin from Stranger Things)? That's her mom dancing with Travolta.

[@Alan_CFA]

I’m 70 years old and I remember “two shakes of a lamb’s tale” as slang for “quickly”, in the 1960’s. But it was pretty dated by then. I thought its inclusion in this movie was cute - a quirky touch by Tarantino to add seldom-heard slang. Other examples are when, Vince called Butch “Palooka”, slang for a below-average boxer and “punchy”, slang for “punch drunk” (pugilistic dementia).

[@VladislavBabbitt]

The USA has so many "free" people, that some of these absurd situations are not even surprising.

7:42 Phil LaMarr. Very well accomplished and respected voice actor!
