[@markfilla9305]

Actually Cassie, the fact that you were completely honest about not liking it is a good thing. Its a nice change of pace to watch a negative reaction to a movie. I, personally, like Pulp Fiction a lot, but I can appreciate that it's not everyone's cup of tea.

[@kevsparrow774]

I agree, Mark. Being a movie reviewer, you're not always gonna like what's put in front of you but it's a great way to get a taste for the uncomfortable. Quentin Tarantino is a weird and brilliant director but you most certainly have to have the taste for his films. While it's not one of my favorites either, the soundtrack is absolutely killer.

[@cardiac19]

If you’re going to be a reactor/reviewer then honesty is the most important thing. Honesty to yourself and honesty to your audience. Thanks.

[@carjamlaw753]

Absolutely true. She is always sincere and that's the most important thing. I was so surprised that she did this one; not surprised that she had a hard time with it.

[@scyphe]

@@kevsparrow774 I think Tarantinos early work is an acquired taste (ie. you have to get used to it if you're struggling with his style at that time). But I agree, honesty is what makes the difference between fake reviewers that go over the top praising every single movie they watch to please their audience (and fish for subs, likes and patreon subs).

[@harryballsak1123]

I think a lot of dislike is that this movie is non-linear and a lot of people don't like that style. Chronologically the last line in the movie is when Bruce Willis says "Zed's dead" and rides off with his girlfriend

I can definitely relate to when she watched the opening scene of Scream and said, "What is happening?" Those were my exact thoughts my first time.

[@charlesballard5251]

Back in '94 when the movie opened everyone had been talking about it for 6 months or more. All the press reported how Travolta had gained like 50lbs to play a heroin addict hitman. And they showed clips of the Jack Rabbit Slims dance contest at every opportunity because it was the first time Travolta had danced on-screen since "Staying Alive". And then the movie took the Palme d'Or at Cannes... and it had never even been shown in the states. So the movie opened on a Friday and the next day I went to see it. I found myself roaring with laughter at the most hideous, reprehensible things ever shown on-screen. And when it was over I knew that I loved it. This was without a doubt one of the most remarkable movies ever made. I then ruminated on it for a week and saw it again the following Saturday to make sure. Yes, it was just as remarkable as I'd thought. The next day my 69 year old auntie came home from church and I asked her if she had any plans for the day. She didn't. I asked her if she'd like to see a movie. She said she'd love to. Then she asked what we were seeing. I didn't tell her. I got her to the theater and got the tickets without her knowing. I got her into the auditorium which was about half full (it was a 10:30am showing after all) and we got seated. Then I told her, "Auntie... YOU are about to see 'Pulp Fiction'. I've already seen it twice. I saw it last weekend, then I saw it yesterday to make sure it was what I thought it was... and it WAS!!! Now, I want to warn you... you are about to see some of the most heinous, reprehensible acts ever performed on-screen. You will try to hold it in, but when it comes out, you will be roaring with laughter. You'll feel dirty for it, but that's okay". She just smiled that old-lady smile at me and said, "Okay. This will be interesting". I kept one eye on her throughout the movie. When they got to Mia laying on Lance's living room floor and Vincent stabs her with the needle and the ensuing seconds after, my auntie just BURST OUT LAUGHING!!!!!! I was honestly afraid she might laugh herself to death. And it continued throughout the movie. When it was over she made me promise that when it came out on Laser-disc that I would pick it up. I did. And we immediately retreated to view it in comfort. She loved it just as much the second time around. And I believe I may have dubbed her a copy on VHS. Don't quote me on that. She told everyone how wonderful "Pulp Fiction" was. She'd discuss it with everyone and loved meeting people who loved it half as much as she did. She died in June of '18. I haven't watched the movie in over a decade I'm sure. Watching this and sitting here typing this... I think I'm going to give it a watch this weekend. Thank you, dear lady for your inspiration.

[@BiggestDawgEver]

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. My moment of shock inspired laughter was when Vincent's gun accidentally went off and killed Marvin. I howled with laughter and felt guilty at the same time. That was the moment I was finally locked in on the tone of the movie. I was 20 at the time and was fully engaged in the performances and the spectacle, especially the Jack Rabbit Slim's scene, but it was the accidental murder of Marvin and the fallout of "the Bonnie situation" that fully dialed me in.

Typically Heroin is sold in Balloons, and Coke is sold in baggies. Being in France for so long, Vincent became hooked on Heroin and when Vincent went to buy Heroin the dealer was out of balloons, so he put it in a baggie. When she finds the baggie in Vincent's coat pocket she thought it was Coke because of the baggie. The amount she snorted was normal for Coke, but way too much for Heroin (hence the OD and need of shot to heart). You also mentioned Vincent is always in the bathroom….that is because of the Heroin which makes you constipated. Also, this movie starts to really show Quentin’s foot fetish with all of the dialog about women’s feet. In movies after Pulp there is always a close up or 2 of women’s feet

[@donpietruk1517]

The out of sequence non-linear technique Tarantino uses to tell the story from the perspective of various characters is unsettling for many viewers at first but is hardly new. The first notable use is by the renowned Japanese Director Akira Kurosawa in his classic Yojimbo from 1950 which tells the story of the rape murder of a Japanese bride and her Samurai husband. American film maker Robert Altman also used similar techniques in the 1970s in movies such as Nashville. What Tarantino did that was a bit different was combine the out of sequence technique with bizarrely random elements that occur in life. To be fair Tarantino has a different view of the universe than most people. There are theories that Tarantino's films take place in either one or even two slightly alternate history or alternate realities from our own. There are interconnections between many of his movies such as characters in one film being related to a character in other films or history playing out in a slightly different manner. I could go a lot deeper but it really requires an essay to go through all the various relationships. Essentially Tarantino has created his own version of the MCU.

[@CatzlovichCatnipAndCabbages]

I don't really care for this movie all that much. I like when Butch comes back for Marsellus and I like the whole chaotic overdose situation but the movie as a whole is just "meh", in my opinion it's highly overrated. 😒

[@ChadSimpson-ft7yz]

Ironically, with the exception of one scene their are far worse famous movies out there.

[@NDHFilms]

It took me a long time to realize this movie isn't supposed to be one story told in a nonlinear order, but several short stories that share some of the same characters.

[@jgmediting7770]

Same here. It’s confusing at first because you’re conditioned to expect the usual one story, one film story structure we’re used to. But when you realise it’s 3 separate short stories and thus 3 structures tied together using the same characters, effectively 3 short films rather than one long one, then it all makes sense and you realise how simple and linear it is.

[@IntoTheWhite04]

That is extremely obvious on first viewing

[@shawnshawnmoviereviews]

they actually fit together just out of order. Its a question of fate. Once the missed shots happen Sam walks away from the life that leads to Vincent's death and nearly gets his boss killed by the boxer and then perverted. It just shows crime really doesn't pay in many ways and how there are multiple layers to the same type of crimes.

[@shawnshawnmoviereviews]

Also Vincent had a close call with near death of Mia but ignores it leading to his death. Marcellus close call with death is the guitar shop of horrors. Each character is tested to turn away from crime or remain deeply in it. Most stay in that leads to their own demise. The boxer commits a crime that dishonors his father and grandfather's legacy of the watch and is only restored saving Marcellus.

Guess that is just one of those things that must be explained. I'm not into drugs at all or have any knowledge of drug culture so saying baggies versus balloons still doesn't mean anything to me. I never gave it much thought other than it was obvious it was an OD.

[@andromidius]

@@Stubbies2003 I've not done either personally but I know those who do. The two look so similar that you have to package them differently for safety - since injecting cocaine or snorting heroine both are far more dangerous then vice versa. Most OD's are due to taking far too much or doing it incorrectly or there being an impure cut bulking it out. Though of course they have long term health risks neither are likely to kill you immediately if you're doing it 'properly'.

[@jinmiseru]

Oh yeah, this would definitely be out of your comfort zone, the "unorthodox" pacing and perceived "randomness" of the story structure. I think it would definitely be worthwhile for you to revisit it further down the road, when the weirdness of a first viewing has tapered off and you can actually see Tarantino's method in the madness. Starting with the title, Pulp Fiction, which should now give you a clue as to why the structure is achronological. With a 2nd viewing I think you'd be able to identify the 3 major narratives and how they're actually delineated by the three main characters, Jules, Vincent and Butch. With Marcellus Wallace serving as common thread. Personally I really enjoyed this reaction because it's extremely honest, and you put effort in understand what's going on. That's why you're one of my favorite reactions channels on here. Keep up the wonderful work!

Cassie, on the other hand, has zero familiarity with these tropes, and has no expectations to subvert, and therefore has absolutely no grounding to understand the more daring aspects of a movie like this (the achronology, the characters that just show up for just a scene, the almost complete lack of backstory or traditional introduction for any of the leads, and overall the general air of Tarantino trusting viewers to be able to catch up with him). So the very qualities that make Cassie a popular reactor (having watched exactly NONE of so many popular genres, and generally being an "open book") are exactly the ones that put her at a disadvantage to watching a movie like Pulp Fiction.

[@jinmiseru]

@@Melancthon7332 I do agree. More generally I always recommend people watch older movies (from the 30s and 40s especially) because so many of the visual and narrative codes used today were pioneered then. Watching movies is always an education for all of us, and the more we broaden our horizon, the better we're able to navigate the many genres and sensibilities present in this incredible medium.

[@JeffersonMills]

Great, honest reaction. This was his first big hit, and along with his directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs, introduced his signature style of the narrative that is out of order. Although popular, the nonlinear timeline was controversial when it came out, and it’s understandable that it makes difficult viewing if you’re not used to such techniques. As you said, you enjoyed Snatch, so this one may grow on you over time as you view more unusual films. You get bonus points for correct use of the word “epiphany,” also!

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Reservoir Dogs was fairly linear in structure, albeit with flashbacks. It wasn’t structurally innovative. It was most noteworthy for its dialogue, which wasn’t innovative but extremely well written. I guess you could say it was formula breaking, but not convention breaking. Pulp fiction has a single flashback, Christopher Walken’s scene. You can also argue that the Gold Watch section is a flash forward. And we should note (and I think you’d agree) that Tarantino wasn’t the first to use his techniques, but perhaps the first to successfully use them in a mainstream American movie.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Geez, just watch the movie and it makes perfect sense at the end. I could argue showing it out of chronological order is really a gimmick to make things seem more interesting.

[@matthewjordan7297]

Hey Cassie, I definitely appreciate your honesty. Not every classic is going to land with everyone, that's just how it is. Pulp Fiction is a bit challenging in its structure. It doesn't have a straight-forward narrative, and it refuses to conform to a lot of the tropes of the crime drama genre. Vincent Vega, in particular, is developed to be quite a sympathetic and complex character, despite being involved with organized crime as an enforcer. Having Vincent and Jules gossiping about work, tv pilots and pop culture brings them both down to earth, and makes it possible for the audience to identify with them. I'd encourage you to revisit this one in a few years and see if anything changes for you. You might enjoy it more the 2nd time.

[@djstarsign]

Pulp Fiction was a surprise hit and part of what made it so special was it’s unique blend of genres. There were the influences of crime films, B-movies, noir films, exploitation cinema, nouvelle vague films, Melville movies, and one of the things that made the movie so refreshing was the amount of humor woven into the dialog. Most of these pulpy crime movies with hard boiled characters were very serious. There were beaten down characters, morally bankrupt characters, a lot of the films ended in tragedy, and this was one of the first movies that resonated with a large audience where the “pulpy” characters were more “average” in their conversations, in their settings, and as with many of Tarantino’s movies, there are so many homages to film or pop culture that the film geeks were freaking out at how packed it was with “Easter eggs”. It revived Travolta’s career, made Samuel Jackson a movie star, spawned so many derivative films (including the Guy Ritchie movies), and solidified Tarantino as an icon. The landscape before Pulp Fiction was formulaic and segregated. Big budget movies that played it safe or low budget indies that told a vast array of stories not normally seen in major studio films. Pulp Fiction also harkened back to the American auteur films of the late 60s to late 70s when more interesting films were being made by the major studio system. And Tarantino’s approach to pastiche and dialogue was so refreshing from what was the norm at the time.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I suspect you would really like "Before Sunrise". If you enjoy that one, there's 2 more films, "Before Sunset" and "Before Midnight". It's arguably the greatest American film trilogy ever made, and the films are just about relationships and the way people talk to each other.

[@Hoeech]

"They're just talking about nothing" Exactly. It was a day in the life of underworld criminals and how they spend their time when they aren't "working". They chit-chat about everyday minutiae after having just killed several people in the course of doing their day jobs. The fact that you noticed that Vince was still in the bathroom while the coffee shop robbery was happening is telling. Vince was in the bathroom when every major incident involving him occurred -- he was in the bathroom when Mia overdosed; he was in the bathroom when Butch came to get his watch (and ended up getting killed) and he was in the bathroom during the robbery

It too has Tarantino, Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth in it, and it follows a nonlinear timeline. * What else has Travolta been in, you ask?

[@davidcopple8071]

This movie is widely considered Quinton Tarantino's cinematic Masterpiece. His story telling style is on full display here. From the non sequential storylines, to the unique camera angles and his multiple characters that at first seem to be in very separate stories but by the end they all come together and your finally allowed to see them all as different parts of the same reality. I didn't care for this movie on my initial viewing either. But that was mainly because I was really not very accustomed to Tarantino's style of storytelling. But after watching it a second time. I finally saw it for what it was and found it amazing. Part of the charm of his storytelling style is that he keeps your undivided attention throughout the movie because he continually keeps you guessing about where it's going and surprising you with at first what looks like meaningless secondary stories, that eventually are shown to be very relevant after all. It's his ability to make you so afraid that you're going to miss something and be completely lost when it jumps backwards, sideways or forwards without warning. That keeps your mind engaged in such a way that although sometimes you feel confused. You quickly learn that the confusion was intentional and used as a way to get you to the end before you realize you started at the end to begin with. Masterpiece! BTW. The movie Reservoir Dogs, I believe, was his first movie.

To answer the question about what's in the briefcase: There is no real answer. There was never an answer to the content of the briefcase.

That's why everyone is stunned when the briefcase is open ("Is it what I think it is?" "Yes." "It's beautiful") AND why the lock combination is 666.

According to Tarantino, the contents of the case are whatever the viewer wants it to be. People often think gold, maybe diamonds. Fans have theorized it’s Marcellus Wallace’s soul and point to the bandage on his neck as proof. I forget where it’s from but it’s said the devil takes your soul from the back of your neck.
