Review: It is difficult to summarize Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” I a few
words. The story consist of several synchronous narratives that intersect and
influence each other in bizarre ways. Looking at each of the storylines, it is
safe to say that each of them is not exceptional. But the genius of this film
lies not so much in the storylines, the strength lies in the dialogues that the
characters have among themselves giving these characters a wonderful depth. Because
of this, “Pulp Fiction” is an exceptional film that continues to captivate time
and time again. Most say it’s Tarantino’s best film to date.
I think it is safe to sage
that “Pulp Fiction” is in fact one of the best films of the 1990s. It was
director Tarantino’s second film, after the phenomenal directorial debut “Reservoir
Dogs” (which is my Tarantino favorite). With that he proves he wasn’t a one-hit
wonder. The film is packed with pop-culture references, great acting and
dialogues. It’s a movie like a lot of good music, the more times you undergo
is, the better it gets.
Now, the dialogues are one
of Tarantino’s characteristics. They are often about daily things, things that
have nothing to do with the scene. But they always amaze you.
“Pulp Fiction” got an Academy
Award for Best Original Screenplay, which was well-deserved. It is one of the
best film ever made, not just by Tarantino, in general.
