Review of Pulp Fiction (1994) by Isaac C — 26 May 2016

Pulp Fiction is one of those films that you have a see a couple times before giving it a proper review. I'm confident to say that this is one of my favorite films of all time. The film is completely original that left a lasting impression on cinematic culture. It perfectly balances normality and absurdity. Young Quentin Tarantino established himself after releasing Pulp Fiction, becoming one of the biggest names in cinema.

Pulp Fiction has a complex story that gives the impression of normality. The dialogue is casual and natural, and sometimes is meaningless conversation, but it gives you the familiar feeling of normal everyday antics. However, as the film progresses it continually out-does itself in the most ridiculous ways that delivers the most iconic entertainment. From Jackrabbit Slim's Twist Contest to Vincent blowing off the head of their backseat passenger, this violent comedy is brilliantly entertaining.

Additionally, the acting performances from the legendary cast is unmissable. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, and Uma Thurman all had unforgettable characters. Travolta and Jackson were a dynamic duo with flawless dialogues and delivered some of the most quotable lines from the film. Uma Thurman was the perfect role for Mia Wallace and showcased her talent from the dance floor to her heroine overdose scene. Also, Bruce Willis achieved excellence in his role as the washed out boxer who's life turns completely upside-down after getting involved with the LA mob.

Pulp Fiction will be a timeless cult classic that every fan of cinema must watch. Quentin Tarantino's craft is not for everybody, but it is certainly brilliance in my opinion. Drugs, lust, blood, humor, philosophy, and nostalgia; Pulp Fiction has it all. This is a 5 star film in every aspect.
