I’m going to talk about my favorite movie: Pulp Fiction. It’s a crime-drama thriller directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace, John Travolta as Vincent Vega, Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield and Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge. It tells three stories: the first is about a couple who decides to rob a diner. In the second we can meet Jules and Vincent, two hitmen who work for Marsellus Wallace, a powerful mobster. Marsellus asks Vincent to care his wife, Mia Wallace, while he’s away. But Vincent starts to be very interested in her. The third story is about Butch, a boxer who is ordered to loose on purpose a fixed fight: a fixed fight on purpose. But he decides to win and earn the bet’s money.
This is a movie you never get tired of watching due to the nonlinear order. Maybe it looks like these stories can’t be connected, but the way it does is one of its best features. It also makes you think: it’s full of meaningful details placed cleverly, related to next Tarantino’s movies or his influences (westerns, martial art movies, Hitchcock and, above all, pulp fictions). It’s also amazing how a little decision a character makes can change the course of the whole story. So it’s unpredictable. There is an incredibly incredible chemistry between Uma Thurman and John Travolta.
Pulp Fiction is really worth seeing. For me, it has all I want to see in a movie.
