[@kipwhitler6804]

the fact that you kept the movie bits uncensored gets you an automatic sub from me, ma'am. thank you for having integrity!

[@nickcangemi]

The reason Mia overdosed is because she was expecting to snort cocaine, but it was heroin in the baggie that she pulled out of Vincent’s coat pocket. You’re not supposed to snort that.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Well, you can snort it (often that’s how people start out doing it), but without a significant tolerance to opiates, a big line of high quality heroin is going to pretty much do what it did to Uma.

[@Holfax]

Yeah, you have to remember that earlier line where the dealer says he doesn't have balloons (which heroin usually comes in) and if baggies (which cocaine comes in) is ok instead. Which is why she thought it was cocaine.

[@imcrazedandconfused]

Oh, well, you can snort heroin, of course, but the thing is - her thing is coke. And she probably had a high tolerance. So that, because she thought the heroin was coke, she snorted quite a big line and therefore ODed immediately, of course... In principle, you can not tell white powder from white powder, optically, and the heroin was, as we know, very high quality... Yeah, the balloon vs. baggy detail was hilarious. Gotta love Tarantino for his freaking love for details.

[@stonecoldku4161]

I've read online that Vincent and Mia didn't actually win the dance contest at the restaurant. They just stole it before they left. Apparently if you listen really closely when Butch is going to back to his apartment to get the watch you can hear on a radio someone talking about the theft at Jack Rabbit Slim's.

[@squ34ky]

Your relaxed voice, minimal commentary, and muted expressions make your reactions unique. Top tier!

Aria - "I've heard the words 'foot massage' more in these few minutes than I have my whole life " HAHAHAHA I am already loving this reaction ❤❤❤

[@bossfan49]

"I thought you didn't watch tv shows!" Nice call Aria!! 😀

[@ZeroOskul]

7:38 "Palooka" is an industry term for a boxer who throws a fight for money. Butch is very angry that a lowlife like Vincent Vega can look down in him. In this moment he changes his mind about throwing the fight. He goes outside, keys Vincent Vega's car, goes to a payphone, calls Fabien and tells her to move-in to a motel, and to bring his watch. He then calls the bookie and puts a huge bet on himself.

[@0okamino]

I think I learned that word from _Popeye_ and _The Three Stooges,_ but I never looked up the actual definition because the context seemed clear enough.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

The Wolf wrote ‘No head,’ since it had been blown off by Vincent, lol..

[@TheNeonRabbit]

The case is a literary device known as a MacGuffin. It's a thing that doesn't mean much on its own but exists to move the plot along. All we need to know is it's something very valuable that everybody wants. The actual PROP briefcase contained a yellow lightbulb, a battery pack and a momentary contact switch that turned on the light when the case was opened.

[@Aren.K]

I feel like it's the recipe to the $5 dollar milkshake inside the case 🤣

[@AndyMmusic]

The scene where they give Mia the shot is so well done. The way the characters are screaming at each other is how it would be in that situation.

[@rantingsage]

Vincent might have died because he didn't take the hint and quit the business, like Jules did. It's a nice closure for the narrative, FWIW, and why it had to be Vincent. Regarding what was in the case, Tarrantino has said it was nothing specific, just a McGuffin for the story. But a popular fan theory is that it was Marcellus' soul.

[@Hereticked]

Yeah, that's almost definitely what happened, because it's in the bar scene that Vincent taunts Butch for being a "palooka", a mediocre or inferior prizefighter. And it's probably in that moment that Butch decides he's not going down this time, setting up the entire course of events that leads to Vincent's death.

[@RobwLPOC]

People think it's a collection of random stories that are intertwined but really it is the story about two hitmen who have a life-altering experience and one decides to go the other way and choose A New Path the other one learns nothing and ends up dying because of his arrogance.

[@laudanum669]

Another theory of what's in the case is an Oscar Award. Which Tarantino went on to win for Best Original Screenplay, but the Oscar for Best Picture went to "Forrest Gump". In my opinion I think "The Shawshank Redemption" should have won Best PIcture.

[@willcool713]

It was Vincent's drug use catching up. Opiates like heroin constipate you, which is why he was always in the bathroom. And he didn't have Jules to watch his back anymore, while he was wacked out or on the pot. The denial of a miracle was just icing on top.

[@delg1211]

"..Marcellus' soul". lol, maybe idiot fans. I've read some fools think that but that theory makes zero sense because the random crook Pumpkin *looks at it* and says, "..is that what I think it is?" Yes, I'm sure that's what anyone says when they look at a soul. LOL, think Mcfly, think 🤦🏾‍♂

[@chefskiss6179]

Your asmr-voice overlaid onto this flick made for quite the surreal watchalong. THANKS for that!

[@Hereticked]

"I thought you (Vincent) didn't watch TV?" Holy shit! I've seen this movie like 50 times and I never caught that one. Good job, Aria. It's true that this movie is full of little "mistakes" and continuity errors, but I'm pretty sure they're almost entirely on purpose. That's part of it being "pulp fiction."

[@0okamino]

I think it’s just figurative. I have noticed that some people will say something like “I don’t watch television,” but what they really mean is “anymore” or “often enough to matter”.

[@Cheepchipsable]

@@0okamino Yes, most statements are not absolute. I don't watch television either, but I do see it at my mothers house. Also Vincent didn't say he never ever watched TV, so it could have been something he saw years ago, or at a friends house. I know some people thinks it's some kind of catch to point these things out, but it's more they lack imagination to think beyond the literal statement.

[@Hereticked]

@@0okamino Sure, it's likely he wasn't being literal when he said he doesn't watch television, but it doesn't really matter, because the contradiction of him saying "I don't watch TV" and later specifically saying "hey, I watched this show" fits in with the theme of goofs / mistakes / continuity errors throughout the movie, most of which are intentional. From the bullet holes appearing in the wall before the bathroom shooter even emerges, to Fabian brushing her teeth both before and after Butch's nap, to the disappearing marker spot on Mia's chest, to Honey Bunny saying a different line in the first scene then she does in the same moment during the last scene, these "errors" are all over the movie and Tarentino wanted them. The whole idea of "pulp fiction" is that its cheap thrills written and published quickly for mass consumption. The mistakes and contradictions are part of the charm.

[@michaelb1761]

The biggest continuity error that I noticed from the first watching was Jules empties his gun in the first scene, but has at least two rounds when the guy bursts out of the bathroom (he fires one round and the slide doesn't stay open so at least one more round).

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Aria like always, i love this movie it´s a masterpiece of cinema, the dialogue is sharp, the performances immaculate, and the twists continually surprising. There’s much about the film that stands the test of time. There are some fun-facts about it, You can watch the film chronologically ... kind of. The narrative structure of the film plays out of sequence, but it’s easy enough to break it down into seven distinct sections (a prologue, an epilogue, two preludes, and three large segments) that can then be re-ordered into a chronological narrative. This movie contains 265 f-bombs, Even that hefty number isn’t Tarantino’s highest (1992’s Reservoir Dogs used it 269 times). Still, the film was the big “f word” winner of 1994, as no other film released that year even came close to that amount of profanity. John Travolta’s character in the film had a sweet ride which, in real life, belonged to Tarantino and it was such a hot rod that it was stolen soon after the film’s release. Uma Thurman wasn’t actually Tarantino’s his first pick for Mia Wallace. Other possible Mias? Isabella Rossellini, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, Daryl Hannah, Rosanna Arquette, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Tarantino’s original favorite was supposedly Pfeiffer. The original theatrical poster is worth a lot of money. The first poster had Thurman smoking not from a box of Red Apple cigarettes (Tarantino’s fake brand, seen in many films), but from a box of Lucky Strike cigarettes. However, Miramax hadn’t licensed usage rights from Lucky Strikes, which then threatened to sue. Rather than fight it, Miramax had the posters returned. Those that survived can now command big money. The infamous scene in which Mia Wallace is stabbed with a very necessary adrenaline shot was stressful enough, so Tarantino took off some of the pressure: The needle was inserted, and then Travolta pulled it out. The scene was reversed in post-production so it looks as if Vincent Vega really is plunging that syringe into her. Movie magic! About your question whats in the case, Tarantino leaves that answer to us its anything we want, many speculate that is Marsellus soul, This is a theory that, at face value, seems wholly unbelievable, but holds merit among many of the fans who have theorized over the last 25-plus years as to what could be inside the briefcase. There are theories that Marsellus had previously sold his soul to the devil, with key indicators pointing to the fact that the combination to the briefcase is '666' and that Marsellus has an unexplained band-aid covering a scar on the back of his neck. This would explain the shock and awe that people feel upon seeing inside the briefcase. There are religious anecdotes spread throughout the film, specifically concerning the character Jules Winnfield. Samuel L. Jackson is often remembered for this role, where Jules would recite biblical scripture and cite the fact that he has survived near-impossible odds as divine intervention, telling him to leave this unethical work. Keep up amazing work.

[@blondejohn25]

"The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd."

[@bossfan49]

Here's some dumb stuff: The drug dealer's box of cereal is Fruit Brute..with a werewolf mascot. It was one of the "Monster cereals" (Frankenberry, Boo Berry, Count Chocula). It had been discontinued for several years already before the movie was made. It was replaced with Yummy Mummy. Julius' t-shirt is old newspaper comic strip character Krazy Kat. It ran from 1914-1944. Vincent's t-shirt is University of California, Santa Cruz. The mascot is the Banana Slug. Tarantino's girlfriend attended school there at the time.

[@willcool713]

Ultimately, this is a crime workplace comedy. It was a riot to my friends and I when it came out. We laughed and quoted this movie forever. We stayed more on the amateur side of crime, but dipped our toes when the moment was right, drugs mostly, a little counterfeiting, a few scams. This movie was so realistic in so many ways -- we knew these people -- and yet so outlandishly over-the-top in just the right ways. Most group crimes go bad in insanely crazy ways, we had all seen it before. So this movie was a hilarious comedy to us.

[@AFKeveryday]

man, i really like your attention to details.. thanks Aria, this was a great choice and reaction.. love it

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I can still remember seeing this in the theater. I went in with zero knowledge about what kind of movie it was. I’d just been told by a couple friends that it was good & I should check it out. I was doing my utmost best to comprehend what I was watching & then the pawn shop scene happened. When he pulled ‘the gimp’ out of the box, something in my brain shifted & I’m not sure it’s ever gone back🤣 I do recall, at that time, thinking ‘this is the greatest moviegoing experience I’ve ever had.’ 90% of the time, if you think about it, you’ll know how a movie is going to end (or at least have a general idea). This was the first time that I had watched a film that went in directions that differed so significantly from my expectations.

[@dogawful]

I knew I had to see it after hearing the line about walking the earth like Caine in Kung Fu in the trailer.

[@albert0F]

This movie blew my mind when it came out. The dialogs were just nothing anyone had ever heard before.

[@lorivera94]

Quentin Tarantino being angry in this movie is just funny to me. Just hilarious, because he really doesn't want his wife to divorce him over a dead body being discovered. Marvin getting shot made me laugh harder because of what Vincent just says calmly after he accidentally shoots him. This was a nice reaction 👍

[@Cheepchipsable]

Apparently it was a role meant for Buschemi. Tarantino is a terrible actor. The thing that got me most is the guy is so worried about his wife, then spends 10 minutes on a long whiny monologue instead of trying to get the problem sorted ASAP.

[@lorivera94]

@@Cheepchipsable First off, that's your opinion, not really the truth. Second, it's just movie. Plus, imagine yourself saying all that in real life knowing you can be in tons of trouble with your own marriage suddenly being on the line.

[@slchance8839]

100% It's masterful and intriguing storytelling because it raises SO MANY irrelevent questions about Quentin's character. Quentin, as nerdy as he looks and acts, is clearly a man of high respect because of how Jules treats him. Jules is more afraid of messing up Quentin's bathroom than his is of disrespecting fellow hitman, Vincent. Jules respects Quentin's friendship, his house, and eve his help. Makes me so curious. Is Quentin an enforcer, money launderer, driver, bag-man, what? He's clearly high up enough in the organization for Chief Marseilles to send The Wolf. Also, you can tell Quentin has been around dead bodies before because he's more worried about losing his wife than he is about gangsters dropping by his house one morning with a car drenched in blood. All these questions are irrelevant to the story, but they flesh out a bit character with minimal effort and add volume to the world building.

I've seen lots of reactions to Pulp Fiction, but you are the ONLY one to understand the importance of The Gold Watch. If I had lost an heirloom that my Dad suffered so long to get to me, I would Lose My Mind!

[@0okamino]

Even more so, not just his dad either. His great-grandfather made it back from WW1 wearing it. His grandfather did not make it back from WW2, but the watch did. Same for his father in Vietnam. That’s no idle heirloom sitting decoratively on a shelf (not to say that those are without value). That watch is practically an active service, three time veteran itself. That’s way past a big deal for family history.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Some people don't get the stress Butch would have been under, which is why he was so mad at his GF. She had like one job, and still managed to mess that up.

[@slchance8839]

100% THREE generations of the men in his family have made sure he got that watch in his hands. It's definitely one of the few material objects worth risking your life over. Interestingly, I dont think a SINGLE one of his ancestors (father, grandfather, or great grandfather) would have WANTED their beloved Butch to risk his young life over a watch, but ALL of them would have been proud of the DECISION he made to successfully recover it, like a real man. The watch is a test of Butch's courage under-fire and values. The movie is HIS war and the added story he'll tell to his own son when he passes down the watch.

Robert had a sex change and after went by the name Alexis. She was the Boy George look alike in "The Wedding Singer" she died at 47 from AIDS complications.

[@thewanderingwizard9848]

The prevailing theory is that the briefcase contains Marcellus Wallace's soul, and the bandaid on the back of his neck is supposed to indicate the extraction site. It is just what's called a "MacGuffin" in storytelling parlance... the object that serves as the motivating factor in a story, like the One Ring in LOTR, the Death Star plans in Star Wars, and the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Tolkien had a huge backstory for the Ring, and it had different intrinsic powers, and yet none of that is actually important... only the quest to destroy it has any real bearing on the story, and it just as well could have been about the quest to destroy Sauron's favorite Smurfs lunchbox. The briefcase in this film serves as sort of a meta commentary on the MacGuffin, showing that what the MacGuffin actually is isn't as important as the story surrounding it.

[@hackenbush23]

The only thing Antoine Roccamora (Tony Rocky Horror) touched of Mia's was her hand when he shook it. Tarantino shows a close up of Mia and Vincent shaking hands when they part, and although Vincent doesn't get thrown out of a window he does die.

[@toiletduk]

It's a common trope that underworld bosses pay for a fixed fight, then someone starts telling everyone there's a fix, so the odds swing the other way (usually to such a degree where betting on the new underdog will net a person a LOT of money). Miller's Crossing, one of the Coens' best, also deals with this.

[@lethaldose2000]

Ahhhhh, Aria, To continue your dive down the Tarantino rabbit hole ------- Your next movie needs to be "Reservoir Dogs", Then "Kill Bill", even "Jackie Brown" ------ The dialogue that you loved so much in "Pulp Fiction" is the signature aspect of all of Tarantino films.

[@olaspaz3079]

Thanks for this, enjoyed your reaction. I think the true test of a movie is how rewatchable it is, and PF passes the test for me. I'm glad you approved of Butch's return to save Marcellus. Some reactors don't. ❤️

[@Cheepchipsable]

Not sure about approve, more a cost benefit analysis. It was more of a risk to save Marcellus, since there was now the added incentive for M to kill Butch since he had seen him having his doughnut punched. A lot of men wouldn't want anyone who has seen that to live, just on principle. Had he left M would have died and probably wound up in a dumpster somewhere and Butch would have been forgotten about and gotten away. Obviously people do risky things because it's a movie, and the decisions drive the plot points.

[@beanybun6110]

Briefcase is what Hitchcock called a McGuffin - something that serves as a plot device because everyone wants it - think of the orb in GOTG which reference this film - “shiny blue suitcase, Ark of the Covenant, Maltese Falcon vibe"

[@sphangman]

So Pleased you liked this movie , it can be a polarising film and is disliked a lot in other reaction channels. But you’re right , it’s very rewatchable , there are so many little things you pick up 2nd 3rd 4th time etc etc of which many people have described below. Some suggest it’s the perfect movie in the way each story crosses over between the other characters while also being self contained . It has well written dialog , a divine intervention saving jules. All the characters are well defined. One small insight I got from another comment previously was that Vincent’s herion addiction caused chronic constipation which is why he is on the toilet so much , at the diner and ultimately leads to his death at the flat. It’s these little details that just makes this film so well thought out to the tiniest detail.

[@adampare8088]

The prevailing theory is Marcellus's soul was in the case, that's why they kept showing the bandaid on back of head where Brett and those guys somehow stole it. Kinda weird, but I go with that theory.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

The briefcase is just a McGuffin. The contents are inconsequential (I’ve always thought it was the WBC Heavyweight Belt, lol).

[@ogrestamp]

There is a theory out there that Tarantino had plans on adding a story element to the movie with Marcellus Wallace having some weird dream sequence where the devil steals his soul (hence the bandaid on the back of his neck). Vincent and Jules are sent to retrieve it back and it's Marcellus' soul that is glowing in the briefcase. It's a nice theory but it could be apocrypha. However, there are a few thimgs in the movie that support it. The bandaid, of course. It is featured quite prominently through the movie with no explanation. And also when Jules calls Marcellus during the Bonnie Situation, he is quite angry while Marcellus is practically wooden and just repeats what Jules says like he has no will of his own (and he wouldn't if Jules held hos soul at that time). Like i said, it is interesting but had Tarantino included it, the whole movie would have taken a turn from what he wanted to do with it. Plus, I love that about 30 years later we are all still fascinated by what's in that briefcase.

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

What the movie's really "about" is behind the camera: It's Tarantino's love letter to '70s crime flicks. Hence the soundtrack, and Jackson and Travolta's hairstyles, and the '50s nostalgia, and the font of the title card. And the casual emotional tone, which was unusual in the '90s for a major non-action crime movie until Tarantino's influence.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

To be fair, I had heard that Jackson's hair was actually an error -- that the person sent to get his wig didn't know the difference between an afro and a jheri curl so picked up the wrong one.

[@kswinger]

Every main character gets a second chance to change their lives. This film is about redemption.

[@dogawful]

Of course there is a milkshake in this, but I think the more famous reference is from There Will Be Blood. I always thought Vincent died because he didn't acknowledge the miracle and leave the life of crime.

[@Cheepchipsable]

More likely because Vega was a smack head and not particularly smart. The longer he stayed in a dangerous occupation the greater the chance of him dying. I know a lot of people like to think this film is about redemption, but who was redeemed? Jackson's character spent a long time killing and brutalising people for money and basically walked away scott free. He knew his luck would run out eventually and the near miss was a wake up call.

[@dogawful]

@@Cheepchipsable I don't think that the movie had any sort of real message. Almost all the characters are bad people. The idea that Vincent would eventually die in a dangerous occupation is kind my point. If he had quit like Jules, he would have at least avoided this particular fate. I guess I see it as a story about these particular random events somehow being connected.

Hi Aria I like your reaction pulp fiction , I like Samuel's speech when I lay my vengeance upon thee And John's Twist dancing !!!

[@SC_17]

I love your genuine laugh. And your editing was pretty good. Better than most reactors. Keep up the good work. :)

[@BluesJammer69]

Blazing Saddles 1974 is a must see.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

What's in the brief case is whatever the viewer thinks it is. Tarantino said it was done on purpose. It is possible to snort Heroin but not a good idea. That's why her nose started bleeding and just turned her lights turned off. She thought it was cocaine. Nope!! Great review. Be safe.

[@slimpickins9124]

Whoa! this is about the 26th time I've watched a reaction to this movie & I just caught that when they walk out of the restaurant they don't have the case....

[@blakewalker84120]

10:55 "What does 'powder my nose' mean?" A long, long time ago, say, in the 1800s and early 1900s, women were expected, demanded even, to act like a "proper lady" in mixed company (around a man). Proper ladies don't say "I need to pee." That was considered vulgar, disgusting, and definitely un-lady-like. Also, it was very common in those days for women to actually put powder on their face because oily/shiny skin was "improper" for some reason. So when a "proper lady" was in the company of a man and she needed to pee, she would say "I need to powder my nose" and then go to the ladies room. Heck, sometimes she really did apply more powder to her face. Or maybe she just peed. At the time this movie was made, women didn't really do that anymore, but the phrase was still in use as a less vulgar way to say "I need to pee". In this case, however, Mrs. Wallace might have been only interested in coke, or maybe also peeing too.

[@ThEmB0nEz]

Shit always goes down when Vincent is on the toilet lol Also a cool/crazy theory I always heard is the bandaid on Wallace's neck is from where his soul was taken out & that's what's in the briefcase.

[@chrischar9428]

That's what people think. They're wrong

[@94megamarci]

the death of vincent was important, not random or unnecessary. he is a character that is totally oblivious of everything happening around him (he is always on the toilet when something important happens f.i). the scene where the guy missed all his shots was a vital turning point for jules' character. he is attentive and learnt from it, realising that his job will only lead him to where vincent's life ended.

[@leocasas5774]

You finally got to watch it! Welcome to the club! Very enjoyable reaction, by the way. Keep up the good work!

[@moonlitegram]

44:26-44:38 Vincent's death does seem out of the blue when it comes up. But in terms of the movies over-arching themes, it actually makes a lot of sense, and it does indeed have to be Vincent that dies there. Since Tarantino manipulates the order of the plot, its not always obvious right away, but keep in mind that Vincent's death obviously happens after him and Jules get shot at without being hit at that apartment. An event that Jules decides to take as a sign from above and ultimately decide to stop working as a hit man. In contrast, Vincent just sees it as happenstance and doesn't assign any meaning to it. So Vincent continues to work for Marcellus and is thus the one that goes with Marcellus to Butch's apartment to kill him, and thus leads to his death.

[@captgeech]

I like to think the light in the briefcase is the same light from LOST, it's all connected! Even though it's not...whatsoever

[@arraymac227]

'I thought you (Vincent) didn't watch shows.' You know, I never noticed that... ++

[@mic88ed]

Ketchup. 😂😂 Great Reaction to Pulp Fiction. ⭐️⭐️🏆⭐️⭐️

[@darinswift490]

First time checking you out. I enjoyed your reaction and beauty. Well Done ✌️😊

[@Thelordofloneliness]

Great reaction as usual, btw that coat/jacket looks amazing it really fits you well!🥰

[@cthulhuspawn6290]

4:33 I totally thought my dog was barking at something. Lol

[@philmullineaux5405]

So I'm writing this to give u some pre pro tips, leading up to pulp fiction, so it's more about Quentin and his earlier credits, particularly reservoir Dogs! Before this, Tarantino had writing creds for Dusk til Dawn and True Romance! Which is a movie about himself being a video store clerk, but turning Hollywood fantasy! He often has dialogue heavy movies, and long segments in them, where actors seem to be out of character, and having a discussion in various life circumstances, like the breakfast scene here, or the foot massage scene in Pulp Fiction! Pro tips, Vic Vega is Vince Vega's brother from pulp fiction! Eddie bunker as Mr Blue was a former Bank robber, who went to jail, and started writing crime stories, while in! Mr White put up 5 mil to get this movie made, so he could play Mr White! James Woods was up for either Mr White or Mr Pink roles, but his manager didn't give him the script. James fired him! Sam Jackson was supposed to play the role of the black dude undercover cop, but Tarantino said, wait im writing another part for you, which became Pulp Fiction! If u watch his movies, he uses the same actors over and over! Sam, harvey, Tim, and others, in several of his movies...Sam the most. This, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Hateful Eight, and a voice in Inglorious basterds. Nobody liked the Boss, most of the other actors wanted to beat his ass! He thought he was old school Hollywood royalty and above the other actors. Like several of his other movies, this is based on an old Japanese samurai story, about a group of samurai who get slaughtered in a revenge ploy. The few left realize, one of them is a traitor who tipped off a warlord. Also, search up, Reservoir Dogs posters....there are so many iconic shots from this movie, I have 4 posters as wall art! U may not like his language all the time, but in private moments, street level , homey folks, rednecks, the brothas on the corner, on the block, the crazy chicas....u know they be talkin to each other like this. I've always thought pulp fiction was Quentin's homage to a couple of early Stanley Kubrick films, Dr strangelove, and the killing!

[@michaelhartsell6566]

Great reaction, thanks for not censoring the movie.

[@ninjafroggie1]

this movie has such a great soundtrack....

[@bigdream_dreambig]

12:41 "Did you win?" Nope! Although they do have the dance trophy with them in this next scene, there's a news report elsewhere in the movie that says it was stolen!

[@JW666]

Happy New Year, Aria =) Aria: One in your what?! Me: Hehehe..;P XD I wouldn't mind doing a Pulp Fiction dance with you ;) =) Awesome you did this, it's one of my favorite movies =) Quentin Tarantino (he plays Jimmie in this one, yes) has a foot fetish, just look at his other movies and it shows =P Speaking of his other movies, I hope do Reservoir Dogs, which is Tarantino's first directed movie and there's one connection to this movie as well - Vincent's brother is one of the characters in that movie, Vic Vega/Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen). There's a rumor that the Buddy Holly waiter, played by Steve Buscemi, is actually Mr. Pink, Buscemi's character from Reservoir Dogs. There's been different speculations on what's in the suitcase - some say it's Elvis Presley's golden suit and others say that it's Marsellus Wallace's soul. And the reason of the band aid on the back of the neck is because that's where the devil took it out (but in reality, Ving Rhames accidently cut himself when shaving his head. I myself shave my head since I'm bald, I have too cut myself many times =P But I've never cut myself on that area) Someone has said that it was actually Butch who key ripped on Vincent's car, which makes sense because Vincent was being a jerk to him earlier.

[@DaisyAzuras]

Some people say that it’s Marcellus Wallace’s soul in that briefcase

[@mostaley5049]

Another good reaction, at the beginning in the diner. You can see Vincent walk to the bathroom. Js. 😊👏🥰

[@positivelynegative9149]

"Wincent" 😁 Nice reaction & commentary. 👍

[@OklasoonaHomer]

As to the briefcase: "MacGuffin" (a.k.a. McGuffin or maguffin) is a term for an object or element in a story that drives the plot, but serves no further purpose.

[@eddiejravannen]

You should check out Sin City, its kind of similar to this, more stylized, but several separate stories that all connect together somehow.

[@dalefrazer1559]

Great reaction. Apparently Tarantino once said that it's actually Elvis' gold suit that's in the brief case

[@chrischar9428]

He's said lots of stuff

[@bharre]

The content of the brief case was Marcellus Wallace’s soul. That’s where Jules’ whole quoting the “verse” comes from.

[@chrischar9428]

Why would a soul be coveted by others. Why would it glow. How do you put a soul in a briefcase. How do you extract a soul
