Pulp Fiction's "gimp scene" is actually deep
The Gimp Scene from Pulp Fiction is one of Quentin Tarantino’s most unforgettable moments - a mix of suspense, violence, dark humour, and surprising humanity. In this video essay, I dive deep into the symbolism, cinematography, and storytelling that make this scene so iconic. From Butch's moral decision to save Marcellus, to the disturbing imagery, the brilliant use of music, and the layered performances, we’ll break down why this scene is so much more than shock value.
