The way I see it, Pulp Fiction's message is that everyone is the protagonist of their own story, and these stories happen without our knowing and we can end up getting wrapped up in them; you never fully know what's going on in people's lives, and so you can find yourself in an unexpected situation that seems "out of context" to YOUR story, but is perfectly in-line with someone else's.
A lot of characters feel like they have something else going on that we aren't privvy to, even minor characters like Butch's cab driver seem to have something else going on with her odd snarky attitude and curiosity about death, or the pawn shop owner having a weird sex-thing going on with a cop and a gimp that they were so casual about (implying this isn't the first time something like this has happened).
Even major characters in their own stories, like Vincent (who has probably the most involvement in each story and is protagonist or co-protagonist in a few), suddenly become minor characters when placed in someone else's story, hence why he died with no dialogue or fanfare in Butch's story
I never thought about this, granted I don't think I've watched Pulp Fiction in a few years, but my god this makes so much sense
That is the most perceptive description of this movie I've ever read. A gold star for you!
I haven’t seen this movie in so many years, I forgot that Vincent died LOL but that was a great explanation it sure helped me
yes
I never thought of it like this before. But this is exactly how im going to think about it from here on out
Yeah, Tarantino isn't afraid to make his audience uncomfortable from time to time, I really admire that honestly.
For real because many were uncomfortable watching DJango but I loved From Dusk Til Dawn

The audience never actually knows what they want, hence the phrase ‘pleasantly surprised’ often being applied to expectations being positively circumnavigated. You have to lead the horse to water **and** make it drink.
Yes i agree
Feet... soooo many feet...
“I’ve only seen scenes out of context” so you’ve seen the movie then? Lol
Haha after watching it I realized that was the plan all along
Top comment here! :)
Brandon Likes Movies once upon a time in Hollywood is similar with that concept
@@AriknotErik No it is not
monkeyjack6 did you even watch the movie? The only plot is “Sharon Tate” the rest of the movie is a bunch of random shit
When Roger Ebert first saw this film, he told Tarantino, "It's either the worst movie of the year, or the best movie of the year." And later decided it was the best. But yeah, everything about it leaves you uncertain how to feel at first. :)
I think it's a film that grows on you, first viewing is a little disturbing, but it gets better with every viewing after...
I adored it on first viewing and it really only gets better when thinking about it again
Each of the stories is a strange angle on a pulp fiction story cliche: underling tempted by boss' woman, boxer refusing to throw the fight, and killer/criminal tries to go straight. Tarantino calls these the "chestnuts" of the genre. In this and Reservoir Dogs, he takes cliched crime story scenarios and upends them by focusing on the details the other stories gloss over. By doing that, he found new directions to take them in.
Brandon: This movie is just insanity. At least this portion of it.
Me: Wait for it...
Zed: Bring out the gimp.
Me: There it is.
I was looking for this comment. lmao
@@vordt4139 You're welcome. I guess? Happy to not disappoint.
@@stonecoldku4161 Thanks bb.
The Gimp was acted by the principal writer of "Boy Meets World" and has written many childrens books over the years.
Who’s Zed? Zed’s Dead, baby
Gotta watch Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino's first and still one of his best in my opinion.
But yes, Tarantino loves non-linear storytelling and mixing drama with action and dark comedy and tends to really go intentionally over the top with the violence sometimes. Most of his films also have a lot of homages to old movies or specific tropes from film history. His style of dialogue and music choices are also very integral parts of his writing/directing style and tend to set his films apart noticeably. He is certainly a unique figure in the world of cinema, but most of his films are good to great.
Reservoir Dogs will always be my favorite Tarantino flick. Jackie Brown a close second.
Totally agree. I'm actually a bigger fan of Reservoir Dogs than Pulp Fiction.
Yes a little bit of trivia about this movie was that he wanted to use My Sharona for the dance scene butthey wanted to use it in the movie reality bites and were told they couldn't because he wanted it but then they sent the clip and he said okay so the song was changed for the dance contest I believeand that better trivia being said I would recommend reality bites because it does capture a time in history very wellit's funny and has some very real moments and it's also the last film where the female lead character in The ensemble picks the poorer guy it has no definite future plans over the guy that looks like he has it all together choice apparently that one out of fashion after that movie. So Reality Bites and True Romance recommending.
And right after Reservoir Dogs, then next must be True Romance. Which still remains as one of my favorite movies of all time.
Reservoir Dogs IS the best Tarantino movie.
Pulp Fiction is a Masterpiece. Samuel L Jackson was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jules. He should have won.
He was great!!
indeed. i like his early stuff. even for rooms is great ua-cam.com/video/S_Pd2pGkq54/v-deo.html poor ted^^
John Travolta was nominated for best actor academy award for Pulp Fiction too just thought to mention
His German voice actor is very cool, too! And he gave some of the best delivery in this movie!
@@BrandonLikesMovies also want to mission that this was only Quentin Tarantino's second film. Pulp Fiction jump started Quentin Tarantino's career for sure. He won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for this film.
The adult version of Seinfeld, never have I heard a simpler and accurate way to sum up the movie
And then guy who busts out of the bathroom with the hand cannon looks like Jerry Seinfeld. Haha
@@ashwitmoro Kramer bursts into the apartment, guns blazing
I think The Big Lebowski fits that description more tbh.
really just all of tarantino's dialogue. cracked up so hard wheen I heard that because it's so accurate
The best thing about The Wolf is that he basically doesn't do anything other than tell them what to do, which is pretty obvious stuff, and then he just sits back and observes as they do all the work.
one thing about Tarantino, he's the master of dialogue in my opinion
His dialogue was very unique!
Brandon Likes Movies oh you haven’t heard anything yet. It gets better.
Definitely true. The German dub is also very good, they put a lot of effort into it, improving on the original at parts even imo....
@@Zenapprentice Indeed, the dialogue in Inglourious Basterds, oh my!
I think he’s great with dialogue but not “the master.” Ingmar Bergman is probably my favorite over many movies. Even the best storytellers have dialogue problems sometimes. E.g. Kurosawa has plenty of clunky dialogue moments (in every one of his movies). Sometimes it seems like many people believe Tarantino dialogue can do no wrong, but to me a lot of the time he can’t help himself but make “cool moments” that drag on with his dialogue.
The best way I could summarize Pulp Fiction is that it's a slice-of-life for criminals that keeps getting interrupted by extraordinary situations.
"Brandon likes Movies"
"This is my first Tarantino Movie"
WHAT???
Right? There’s 1000 dvds behind him. Not one QT in there ??? He’s been mislead, sheltered, living under a rock
I actually know quite a lot of people that have either never seen a QT or seen like 1. He's my favorite film maker but I feel like everybody knows who QT is or the name of his movies but lots of people haven't actually watched them you know
@@WilliamD52 Sure, I also know a lot of people who haven't watched a Tarantino movie before or watched just recently or I was the one who showed them. However, this guy in particular has a mega collection of DVDs, claims to love movies, and he also seems quite perceptive about filmmaking (he talks about cinematography, editing, direction, sound design etc.). It is very, very weird for him not to have seen any Tarantino movie. I think it's very natural to be skeptical about it.
I enjoy movies a lot and the only Tarantino film I've seen so far is Pulp Fiction, and I didn't see it til a couple years ago
Flamerunner451 you should watch reservoir dogs, once upon a time in Hollywood, and inglorious Basterds. All great movies too from him
The thing that freaked many people when this was released was both the casting and performance of John Travolta. I mean come on he was the King in Grease and Saturday night fever and generally typecast in 1970's glory, but here he is a washed out punk who can't dance, it was a real change and his deadpan character showed the depth of his acting talent. No one but Tarantino would have seed this potential. Definitely my favorite movie character to date
This was actually Travolta's big comeback role. After Staying Alive in '83 his only real notable films were the Look Who's Talking movies, which were family friendly romantic comedies. Pulp Fiction literally revived Travolta's career.
he was a washed out punk but he still took home the dance trophy, and while all smacked out on heroin no less.
EDIT: Apparently this was bs... Damn me for writing it before checking facts!
@@commentputter5283 A news report on the radio (can't remember exactly when, but after the dance contest scene) talks about the Jack Rabbit Slim Dance Trophy being stolen... 🙂
@@mickesmanymovies this is an urban legend. it's a radio advertisement for Jack Rabbit Slims and there is no report of a stolen trophy. legendsrevealed.com/entertainment/2016/05/23/did-vincent-and-mia-steal-the-twist-competition-trophy-in-pulp-fiction/
@@commentputter5283 Hey look at that! I fell into the not-checking-facts-before-posting trap!! Damnit! That's a real pet peeve of mine! Feel kind of silly now...
Anyway, thanks for setting me straight!
This dude embodies the concept of positivity just by how he speaks.
I read someone write a while back that every time Travolta's character goes to the bathroom something bad happens.
Haha that's true!!
My god, I’ve watched the film dozens of times and just now noticed it ! Amazing hahah
This is true to life.
I gotta take a shit
Heroin addiction - problems with the bathroom
Bad things happen by deep rooted reasons, also the whole gangster-life thing
I can honestly say that in the month I've started watching your channel I look forward to every video you post, you always watch something I've loved and have an interest in seeing someone else's opinions so to have these commentary videos in this editing format is really getting me through the lockdown so thank you and keep it up!!
So glad to hear that!!
Definitely agree! And if it´s something like Man of Steel, which I thought I would have had no interest in, he teaches me otherwise.......
@@chanceneck8072 the amount of content coming out is great cosidering there are some creators that aren't able to pump out as much as they normally would do, good doctor who profile pic btw haha
Also I definitely recommend inglorious Bastards by Quentin Tarantino amazing flick!
Definitely want to see that one, as well as his other movies!
@@BrandonLikesMoviesIn inglorious bastards Christoph Waltz character Hans landa is best character ever written and played. Well deserved oscar
And Django: Unchained. It’s really entertaining
Brandon Likes Movies Id recommend Jackie Brown it’s a lesser know Tarantino movie but definitely worth a watch
@@BrandonLikesMovies It's his best one! It's truly amazing.
The 1st time i watched it i thought it was great.....the 2nd time it joined the list of my all-time favourite movies! Flawless!
NEVER. snort. Heroine! That's what almost killed her. She thought it was Coke or Speed or something.
How about don't do heroin at all? Nor speed or coke aha
As someone who grew up with drugs around that was always the most unrealistic part.. You don't snort or shoot unidentified white powder 🤣it can litteraly be anything...
Good to know lmao
I just love how the stories in Pulp Fiction weave in and out of each other in seemingly no discernable order, until the end when it all becomes one.
It really isn't as broken up and nonlinear as we often remember it as being. Most of the movie takes place in chronological order. After the title card, everything from Vega and Jules until Butch rides off on the motorcycle is chronological, iirc (barring the watch vignette, which is really a dream of a memory). Then it jumps back and tells another story in chronological order that happens in between a couple of earlier scenes.
But it is wildly disjointed in tone and in terms of traditional narrative structure, and I think we pick up on that and end up thinking of the movie as more wildly non-chronological than it actually is.
" SAY "WHAT" AGAIN"!!!!
"SAY 'WHAT' AGAIN"!!!
I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU! Greatest scene ever!.
Samuel L Jackson is so good 😄
@@BrandonLikesMovies please watch some Robert Rodriguez movies like Sin City, The El Mariachi Trilogy, Machete, & Alita Battle Angel. John Carpenter movies like Halloween(1978), The Thing, Escape From New York, Christine, Big Trouble In Little China, In The Mouth Of Madness, Prince Of Darkness, Assault On Precinct 13(1976), The Fog(1980), They Live, & Vampires.
Ridley Scott films like Alien, Blade Runner The Final Cut, Gladiator, Thelma And Louise(My mom's favorite), & Black Hawk Down.
They speak Englisg in What?!
What?
@DonJuan Yates An act of God causes the bullet to miss.
This movie was a seismic shift that resulted in dozens of interior copycats.
And yes this movie is a perfect film version of a pulp crime book. They are fun and QT devoured them almost as much as movies. His next movie Jackie Brown is a much different pace and vibe. It’s great in its own way. They are all fantastic in their own way.
This one is just a day in the life of these two criminals. Is like to know where Sam Jackson went after the robbery. We know travolta went back to work and died. He would have lived if Sam was there.
Tarantino definitely inspired a new wave of filmmakers in the 90's
Facts! Once Upon a time in Hollywood probably Tarantino’s most thought out drama
ha ha ...love the comment about copy cats...although you are correct Reservoir dogs was a copy of a chinese film...so was Desperados practically. They're not original movies.
@Adam J. Harper Yes I don't disagree. I like almost all of Tarantinos movies but many people are unaware he is heavily influenced by asian cinema.
@@reggiegimmix9128 desperado wasn’t a QT movie. And there is a big difference between sampling and a copying.
I saw this back in 1996 while I was an undergraduate in art school. It changed the way I looked at movies forever. I paid a whole lot more attention to subtext, symbology, and directorial intention. It also helped me become a better and more observant artist and painter.
Glad you enjoyed Pulp Fiction, I saw it in theaters and was blown away by the experience. Something I haven’t seen mentioned in the comments is that when this movie came out most of these A-list actors careers were on a slump. Travolta hadn’t had a big hit in a hot minute, Willis’s Die Hard series was stagnant, Roth, Thurman and Jackson kept getting side roles. Especially Samuel, he became such a power house after this. This movie catapulted all of these actors.
Wow! I'm a little stunned you haven't seen any Tarantino films! Thanks again for the awesome daily content! 😃👍
Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Tarantino is a master of taking a concept and using a genre to "color it in." His brilliance in writing and directing I feel is unmatched. What I love best about him is that he makes genre films and he flips them on their head by doing something completely different with it.
Pulp Fiction is a gangster film that focuses on characters that are typically the support characters; The two hired hitmen, the boxer that's paid to throw the fight, and the crime boss' trophy wife. Reservior dogs is a heist film that focuses on the aftermath of a heist. Jackie Brown is a blacksploitation film mixed with elements of a thriller. Kill Bill is a revenge film with Kung Fu flavor. Inglourious Basterds is a war film with heist elements. Django Unchained is a western set in the deep south during the slave trade and has elements of a fantasy/romance.
Nobody quite has a film fingerprint that's as distinctive as Tarantino
yup well said, all great films, the only one i was dissapointed with was his last one Once upon a time in hollywood
@@melthebell33 I actually agree although I still enjoyed it very much. I think it might be a generational thing because I was born after the Manson murders and didn't experience how people were affected by that tragedy. I also didn't know much about that whole thing, I just knew about Manson and Sharon Tate and that she was killed by a group of people who broke into her home.
My parents on the other hand found the movie very intense because they knew and experienced the tragedy when it happened. They felt all this tension through the whole movie because they knew how violent the murders were and they know how violent Tarantino's style is, so they were anxiously waiting to see Tate's grim fate. To their surprise they got something else entirely and it was cathartic for them.
@@thatwerentme i just find it very disjointed and the Manson family bit just seems like its shoved in
No love for Four Rooms?
Fingerprint? I think you mean toe-print lmao
"Pulp Fiction" is a term on it's own that predates this movie. They were books that had racy, action-based stories published in cheaply printed magazines from around 1900 to the 1950s. It gets the name from the cheap paper that they were printed on.
Oh good to know!
Brandon Likes Movies yes, this is the inspiration for the movie. A collection of short stories, and then all of them being tied in together. :)
Pulp Fiction Comics created one of my favorite character's, The Shadow. A very underated comic character.
Pulp Fiction and Daft Punk.....
Those were the two names, we scratched our heads when we were young.............
The movie does start with a text explaining just that...
You really should watch A Clockwork Orange
That giant wall of Blu-ray’s and yet he hasn’t seen Pulp Fiction! How does that work?
Exactly!
He was raised Amish and the blu rays belong to his roommate.
Wondering the same, well it is good if you start your movie hobby at later age tho. Interesting how he has managed to not to watch any movies for 30 years? Good reactions & analysis anyways!
@@Latexi_LMX he hasnt seen shawshank redemption and forrest gump either
@myndlink
There's No Cops and Traffic Lights, Livin' in an Amish Paradise, but you'd Probably think it bites!!!! Livin' in a Amish Paradise!!!!!
"What's up friends, welcome back to the channel"
I LUV that words
😁
Shooting Marvin in the face is one of those rare case where horrible gun safety actually causes a problem in a movie (not just the pointing with the gun, but the fact he never took his finger off the trigger).
It shows how Vincent literally is the most cockiest of them all. And he's asking for a "please" to clean up the car?
I think Pulp Fiction is a movie that you appreciate more each time you view it. The first time is definitely a 'what the heck did I just see!?' experience whether you liked it or not. But with every re-watch you pick up more and more you may have missed the first time. At least that's my experience. And even seeing it many times, you'll still discover things you missed. I can't say for sure how many times I've seen it (at least 30) and I never noticed the connection you picked up on with the handshake! It's such a treat of story, character, connections, and film making skill!
I think Tarantino's style at this point is just referred to as "Tarantino Style", because he basically invented a completely new style when he started making movies. His first movie was reservoir dogs which was a lower budget movie and then he made pulp fiction with the profits from that. Then he made 8 more, and now says he's done. They are all worth a watch.
What confused me the first time was that the movie scenes are not shown in order. So you see references to things before they actually happen on screen. Also there's a lot of little detail, like the drug buy. Stoltz's character ran out of balloons, which are usually used for heroine, so he uses a baggie. Later Uma Thurman's character thinks it's cocaine, because its in a baggie. There are disputed theories of the thing in the case being Marcellus's soul, and stuff through the movie seem to hint at it.
There is a plaster on the back of Marcellus Wallace's neack when you see him from behind. That's where the soul is supposedly taken from. Also, the combination for the case is 666
If you didn’t notice Uma Thurman’s character overdosed because it was heroin and she thought it was Coke.
Which she mixed up because the dealer said he was out of balloons and asked if a baggie was ok
Never seen Pulp Fiction ?!?! Brb making popcorn for this.
Haha hope you enjoy the video!
At the end, Vincent gives Jules so much shit about walking away from the life. Yet we as the viewers ALREADY know that because of his choices, Vincent is dead a few days later.
Also take note, the three times Vincent goes to the bathroom is right when something bad is happening outside the bathroom that he needs to see.
Edit: Also, Jackie Brown is an underrated masterpiece of his, and my favorite film of all time! It will probably be the least recommended, but it is equally amazing to any of his films!
Also, Vincent is a heroin user and heroin/opiates are known to make the users constipated, which could be why he was always shitting.
"This is my first experience with Tarantino"
oh you sweet summer child
😂😂
wow. I feel so honored to witness your first reaction to a Tarantino film. his knack for writing dialogue is absolutely unparalleled. this isn't my favorite of his films and I don't even really like it that much but I respect it and recognize the quality of it. you should definitely check out Reservoir Dogs next. it's one of my absolute favorites and gives you a much more nuanced idea of what Tarantino's style of filmmaking is like. also, Kill Bill came out after this so if anything, the samurai sword was borrowed from Pulp Fiction 😎I have to say once again that your videos truly brighten my days.
So happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos! That means a lot!
The trick to figuring the movie out is knowing the chronology as Tarantino wrote them out of order for the movie's storytelling.
Any Tarantino film would be great for reaction videos.
No one does dialogue like Quentin Tarantino. He can make a discussion about a boring subject the most interesting conversation in the world.
My favorite QT films are Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, and Once Upon a Time in Hollwood. You reacting to any of them would be a blast.
4 rooms is a classic too.....
Jackie Brown and Django Unchained are probably my favorite (the former is in my opinion underrated).
Sorry I am not interested In the dialogue in this film at all and tbh I prefer less dialogue in films. Pure cinema and Hitchcockian cinema is the finest cinema to me.
@@acdragonrider nothing to be sorry about! this is the best type of cinema to me and see hitchcockian cinema as rather boring and antiquated but to each his own
That’s cool that you get to see all of Tarantino’s stuff on the channel for the first time! It would be kind of cool to check the rest out in release order to see his development as a film maker.
His movies just get better the more you watch, his details are just flawless. Love all your work Tarantino .
Tarantino has never revealed what is in the briefcase, but it is believed to be Marcellus Wallis’s soul as he has a bandaid on the back of his neck and legend is that is where the devil takes out your soul. My favorite Tarantino films are Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds and people think all of his films take place in the same universe on one timeline.
I just rather believe that the briefcase is the Macguffin of the film. When you think about it, if you take the briefcase away, and replace it with something else, you still have a story.
@@osmanyousif7849 No you don’t because the whole point of Jackson’s character deciding to leave the business was because of what he thought was divine intervention and that wouldn’t have happened if he and Travolta’s character had not gone to take the briefcase that was stolen. Also if the briefcase was taken out the following things wouldn’t have happened either:
-Travolta’s character would still be alive,
-the character in the back of the car would be alive,
-the Tarantino meeting would not occur,
-them being at the restaurant,
I have not watched the film in a long time so I don’t remember names. You see my point though everything that drives the film forward was that briefcase!
Tarantino said himself it's whatever you want it to be, don't think he even knows what's in it.
@@jamesmoyner7499 Yes, but what the briefcase had isn't all that important. It can be a substitute for whatever you wish for most
@@errwhattheflip Yeah I know. Tarantino even said it is whatever you want it to be. It is the macguffin of the film. The item of a film everyone is after. Similar to The Maltese Falcon or the 250,000 in It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. It's the item that drives the film forward.
another one of Tarantino's first masterpieces is Reservoir Dogs, I think you would love it man
That's a great one for sure. I think he'd like true romance, it was directed by Tony Scott but written by tarantino
Can’t wait till you watch the rest of Tarantino films! Especially reservoir dogs!
Definitely going to check out the rest of his work
@@BrandonLikesMovies Kill Bill was so weird for me, I dont know if that means you should watch it next or last (I think you should last)
But Reservoir Dogs is the perfect movie to watch next of Tarantinos imo, he only has like 10 or somethin
@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679 Kill Bill's amazing. Jackie Brown and Grindhouse are best for last.
Rustin Cohle - I think it would be a good idea to watch them in order of release.
I would recommend True Romance, which Tarantino wrote but didn't direct. It's told in a more traditional linear way but still has his style and dialogue.
"This movie is just insanity."
Me: Oh man, you have no idea.
Your voice is so calming I nearly fell asleep (that's a compliment)! I also really enjoy your refreshing points of view.
I'm so glad to hear that 😁
Pulp Fiction was one of those movies where I was also confused by what I watched but knew that there was something special about it. It’s one of those movies where you keep finding something new each time you watch it and you start to realize the sheer brilliance behind it. If I want to show someone a movie with the some of the greatest dialogue ever put to screen, look no further than Pulp Fiction.
One of my top 5 favorite films of All-time! "SAY WHAT ONE MORE GOD DAMN TIME!"
"What?"
@@AtlantaTerry BANG!
What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in what?
I wish I could watch Pulp Fiction for the first time again
Me too. I was probably an infant when I first watched it
this
If you decide to watch QT's "The Hateful Eight," I strongly recommend seeing the longer director's cut on Netflix.
Oh ok good to know!
I disagree. I prefer the theatrical cut. I would also suggest you go back and watch his movies in order going back to Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, etc. Also, maybe throw in a couple Robert Rodriguez films since he and Quentin share a movie universe.
A 3 or 4 hour western that almost entirely takes place in a cabin, but its surprisingly entertaining.
But the hateful eight is not on Netflix anymore
@@joey_dangerously I would definitely agree with watching them in order. You can watch his progression as a filmmaker change over the years. There are distinct eras and themes that change in his work over the years.
It's a film that gets better everytime you watch it. First time I watched it I thought it was good but nothing amazing, the more I watch it the more I love it. It's the same with most Tarantino films tbh.
Speak for yourself. I never change my mind about a movie or song, I either like them or I don't. My opinion NEVER changes and I never understood this way of thinking.
I saw this film in the theatre literally by accident-- the other movie we had tickets for had a broken projector and this was the only other film showing at the time. So I sat down for this thing without any knowledge or expectations what so ever. I thought the film was absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute of it in 1994-- love every minute of it today. It's a masterpiece.
Can you imagine being on set when Wallace had to do that scene in the pawn shop. I heard they had to try many times cause actors just couldn't stop laughing.
You have to watch Trainspotting. It’s a masterpiece
It's on my watch list 🙂
I really think you’ll like it😁. You should also check out this film from 1979 called Quadrophenia. That’s another great film you should check out when you get the time.
It's alright, stop calling good movies "masterpieces"
fede mona I thinks it’s a masterpiece. But I completely respect your opinion. Not everything’s for everyone
I made the mistake of trying to read the book on 9th grade. 😦
This is definitely his weirdest film. His other material has similar non-linear storytelling, but the insane left turns that Pulp Fiction has he doesn’t really do again.
What does remain consistent though is that he loves making people deeply uncomfortable with the violence in his movies.
He loves making people laugh at things they really shouldn’t be laughing at.
There also is 4 rooms.... another crazy story
Jules finally putting down the gun at the end is one of the greatest movie moments ever for me because of all the unexpected crazy moments that came before, the tension to see how the situation was gonna resolve itself was palatable!
This movie is genius. Every time you watch it, you learn a little more. There are a million little gems in here, and every time you watch it you take a step back from the collage and see the masterpiece. I still find new things even watching this.
The point to the story of Marsellus throwing Tony out of window, for touching his wife's feet or whatever the real reason was, is to show how dangerous Marsellus is. Now imagine what Marsellus will do to the man (Vincent) responsible for his wife's death.
Also adds an aura of mystery to the big boss.
Or to Butch the second he got his hands on him.
"This movie is just insanity"
Wait 3 minutes...
"What is going on in this movie?!"
I love Pulp Fiction. This was one of the movies we had playing in the background in my college dorm room along with Snatch and the Big Lebowski. This is one of his movies where I think you'll find great appreciation on multiple watches. imo one of the most underrated / unappreciated films of Tarantino is Death Proof. It is a slow burn, but when it hits... it hits hard. A nice love letter to bygone era of film making.
In order of filming, middle part A, beginning of the movie, the end of the movie, middle part B
Perhaps one of the greatest films ever made. The writing on this is just surreal, brilliant.
what about shawshank redemption and forrest gump ?
You are spot on brother. Facts
@@Gencturk92 Shawshank is up there too, not Forrest Gump, it's the lower tier in my opinion, good, but not as great as the very best films.
@@kasparov9 how can you say that ? lot of people love that movie, go and do some research on it and see what people think. they can say the same about shawshank redemption aswell that it being overrated doesn't deserved to be number 1 on imdb.
but i like shawshank, great movie
@@Gencturk92 It's just my honest opinion, Gump is not in the same league. I know a lot of people love it, Titanic too, doesn't mean it should be ranked anywhere near Shawshank. Many people do think Shawhank is overrated, but most don't. Sorry if I offended, but it's just how I feel.
IDK why nobody is mentioning this....Yea Resevoir Dogs is good. But his best movie is Inglorious Basterds. Even Tarantino says its his best. My favorite is Kill Bill tho. Hopefully you get to them eventually. Cheers man, keep up the good work!
Inglorious basterds is his best movie i agree. Kill bill (vol 1 at least) is endlessly rewatchable and also my favorite
Nah bro, pulp fiction is the best. I don’t think any of tarantino’s films are as profound or as mesmerising as this. I’ve always interpreted it as an amplified, fever dream version of the criminal underworld of LA, and how a life of crime is futile and doesn’t lead you anywhere. That’s why Joules’ desire to walk the earth is so important, he’s breaking the cycle to become a righteous man. Plus I think pulp fiction is tarantino’s most rewatchable. Revisiting the movie and all of its characters is like meeting up with old friends. Very sick and twisted friends tho
@@bigtony1434 - this, totally this!! Wish I could like your comment more than once.
"oh man, i shot marvin the face" classic every time
"Pulp fiction refers to a genre of racy, action-based stories published in cheaply printed magazines from around 1900 to the 1950s, mostly in the United States. ... Magazines featuring such stories were typically published using cheap, ragged-edged paper made from wood pulp. These magazines were sometimes called pulps."
Love how every time Vincent was taking a shit something bad happens🤣
pulp fiction was a movie that i can genuinely say gripped my attention the entire way through. the beauty in it, i think, is hidden between the lines. the dialogue, for example, two men talking abt giving women foot massages, may seem like they're talking abt nothing, but we learn a lot abt their characters, there's some foreshadowing, introduces new characters and describes THEM..it requires several watches to catch a lot of what tarantino is trying to accomplish..
The restaurant scene with the story about the 5 girls is a reference to Kill Bill which came much later.
I never picked up on the fact....until years after seeing this movie....that the character John Travolta is playing......is ( or was ) the brother of Mr. Blond in 'Reservoir Dogs'.
How have you never seen Tarantino movies? That's actually sacrilegious
Oops!
It's also an opportunity to have more of these coming up. Will you be reacting to all Tarantino films, Brandon?
He's gotta get to Kill Bill and Inglorious
"Different" is probably the best description/compliment you can give to QT, you should watch them chronologically to see him grow....regress.... and then grow again
Four Rooms is incredible. Multiple directors short stories filling a bell hop at a hotel full of crazy. Spectacular cast all baby faced
Man, you are going to love Tarantino movies. Watch them all. I think you might get a kick out Jackie Brown.
Definitely going to check out his other work
Jackie Brown is by far Tarantino's most underrated movie.
@@CitroChannel I completely agree. Probably his only underrated movie.
@@TwoWrights Jackie Brown is one of QT's least entertaining films so it should be saved for last. Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained (also True Romance and Natural Born Killers written by QT) are much higher priority.
Only movie where he adapted a book written by somebody else. And it works just as well.
Not how I imagined you'd react, but understandable if you've never seen his movies before. Like everyone said, his movies are very dialogue heavy, but like good dialogue that's just interesting to listen to. And his movies tend to have way over the top action sequences. Like someone getting shot has huge splashes of blood and so on. I'd say continue with his older films like Reservoir Dogs, then go on to the more recent like Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained.
Sounds like a good watch order to me!
I’m sorry did you say FIRST intro to Quentin!? 😧😱🤣
He's one director I haven't seen anything from 😬
Brandon Likes Movies omg the possibilities!! I definitely suggest you watch Kill Bill vol 1 & 2 as well as Django and Inglorious Bastards. Anything else would just be gravy lol Thanks for the great reactions really enjoying your channel!
@@BrandonLikesMovies watch Reservoir Dogs, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, Jackie Brown, The Hateful Eight, , Death Proof, &.Kill Bill vol. 1 & 2. Also watch movies that he wrote like True Romance & Natural Born Killers.
It’s funny cos i saw your movie collection video and was surprised to not find Tarantino. You need to watch all of his films. It’s the dialogue that does it for me.
@@NifferGal My favorites from him are these four
Another great video mate! How have you never gotten around to not watching this great films before?😀. Good for us because we can enjoy watching your reaction.
The dvd extras for this movie came with Tarantino’s 1994 interview with Charlie Rose. That’s a great reference to see how and why his style developed. You can watch the interview on UA-cam too.
Tarantino likes to subvert genre conventions. Each of the short stories in the movie tackles common crime movie story tropes (two hitmen out to do a job, guy takes mobsters wife to dinner but can’t touch her, boxer doesn’t throw the fight when he was supposed to). The stories take these common premises and then throws in an element of surprise and dark comedy that breaks from the genre convention and points out its ridiculousness.
The theme that ties the stories together is redemption. Butch saves Marsellus’s life when he didn’t have to, vincent saves Mia instead of sleeping with her, and Jules lets the petty burglar go with a life lesson, instead of killing him. Each of the characters experience a level of growth that shows them the humanity outside of their roles as typical crime movie dirtbags - again, this points out the way the viewer projects themselves with anti-heroes in cinema. Tarantino loves clever deconstruction of movies while earnestly delivering on the premise of the genre (post-modernism).
You can hear Jules talking about retiring in the beginning if you listen hard.
I usually am all for action/plot, and rarely for dialogue-driven movies, but Tarantino is just so good at it..I would recommend Reservoir Dogs-99% dialogue-driven, but its soooo good
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that a guy sitting in front of a wall of Blu-ray hasn’t seen some of these films
You can watch the first video on the channel (the collection video) to get an idea of what I've seen 😁
I love the dialog in this movie - easily in my top 5 movies. Its 3 overlapping stories each with its own protagonist.
You have to see "Inglorious Bastards"! The opening scene is 100% pure dramatic tension! It also introduced Americans to Christoph Waltz. He went on to win the Oscar for best supporting actor for the role. Incredible performance!
I like how Tarantino had the balls to make himself say the n-word four times in one scene in front of Samuel L Jackson.
Tarantino is a bit of an acquired taste, but I think pretty much everybody does acquire the taste sooner or later. It's a bit similar to how not everybody likes The Big Lebowski the first time around, but when they're ready for the tone of it the second time around, it's a guaranteed like. Looking forward to more Tarantino!
Btw one thing to mention about Tarantino: He`s a freakish fan of those old 70`s B- movies as they were presented in cinemas. And they often had damages sounds, bad cut together parts or damaged tapes at all, sometimes even cut together in the wrong order (Like the scenes in pulp fiction are shown totally out of order). Maybe this will help with you confusion for the next Tarantino movies;) P.S.: Popcorn was good :P
I love your vibe and your super chill. You must be extremely young to be experiencing these films for the first time. It's fun to watch an intelligent young person take in these great works for the first time. Good for you!
I've been loving checking out the great movies I've missed out on 😁
I love watching your face react man. Its like when you find a funny clip, show it to your friend and watch their face to see if they like it as much as you did (but they never do) and you actually like it. So fun
The Kill Bill movies were after this. I never really thought about Butch using a katana being related to Kill Bill until you mentioned it. From Dusk Til Dawn is another enjoyable Tarantino movie even though he didn’t direct it, he wrote the screen play and acted in it.
Yeah I think they're just linked by Tarantino admiring samurai movies.
This movie really needs a second watch just so you have a better understanding of the chronological order of events... (plus it's a fantastic movie)
the movie is structure like a pulp paperback novel...the clue is in the title... an extended definition is a story that jumps back and forth between settings and subplots... You were right that it is unique in its structure.
This movie is one you have to watch multiple times to really let it sink in. First time I saw it, I really wasn’t a big fan. After a few more watches, it became one of my favorite movies. There are a thousand quotes from this that my friends and I used over and over in high school. Certainly one of our favorite movies back in the 90’s.
Years ago, the first time I watched this movie I was a bit undecided about how I felt about it also. You will probably come to realize that it is quite simply iconic. It has so many memorable scenes and dialogues. It really is fantastic, and only gets better the more you watch it.
“What is going on in this movie”....LMFAO 😂
real sad that I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU got edited out. such an iconic scene / meme
It's in the full reaction 🙂
@@BrandonLikesMovies its all good my friend. love your channel. if i have money later, i give you some :)
I know I'm in the minority, but Jackie Brown is my favorite of Tarantino's work. It is definitely his most serious film.
Tarantino is heavily inspired by the crime writer Elmore Leonard, who was also known for his fantastic dialogue and dark humor and sudden violence. Apparently, Tarantino got in trouble as a kid for trying to steal one of Leonard's books from a store.
If you want some similar movies to watch I would recommend Get Shorty (which also has John Travolta) and Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight. Also, the TV show Justified is amazing for this kind of style.
If your favorite QT film is Jackie Brown, then you’re actually not into QT movies😄
I am so envious of you, getting to enjoy all of these classics for the first time! I was 15 when this was released. If I remember rightly, this was released on DVD late '98, which is when I first saw it. I've loved it since then. You released this video on my 41st birthday.........you have so much to watch in the coming years!
Great timing that it was released on your birthday 😁 happy belated birthday!
Pulp Fiction is a “let it sink in” kind of movie to me. Give it a rewatch in a year and I think it’ll go up your rankings pretty quickly. Love your reactions so far.
