VHS Movie Reviews of Pulp Fiction (Special Collector's Edition) [VHS]
Movie Review: A Modern Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A good film usually expresses its story visually. It shows us the story. Not this one. Pulp Fiction is a rich circular story about around gangsters, criminals, and a mysterious briefcase. In this story, Tarantino boldly breaks the rules of screenwriting, delivering a film where the dialogue drives the story. Good dialogue seems organic and almost conversational, yet express a deep rich subtext. Take for instance, Vincent and Jules' conversation before they carry out a hit. They discuss drugs in Amsterdam and how their boss supposedly threw a guy out the window for giving his wife a foot massage. The dialogue seems random and unrelated to the plot--almost like everyday conversation. Yet this shows Tarantino's masterful writing skills, because he is able to pack so much weight in dialogue without seeming to do so. Vincent later later on takes out his boss' wife on a date on the boss' order, and she almost overdoses on heroin. Now, what is in the audience's is what would happen to him if he brings her back dead; if some guy got thrown out a window for massaging her foot, what worse will happen to him? Tarantino puts his characters in dire and serious situations, but he always finds dark humor in these circumstances. Do you think you would ever laugh at someone's brains getting blown out? The movie combines a very ironic mix of violence and humor throughout that takes you on a thrilling experience. The unconventional structure of the story adds another twist, with interrelated scenes that add more context to each other. It does not depend on action or special effects to catch the attention of its viewer. The ensemble cast, including John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, bring their characters to life. Pulp Fiction's creativity in juggling all these aspects creates a movie that is pure pleasure to watch and be dazzled by. It is for an audience that dares a movie to break all conventions, just as its characters defy all the rules.
Summary of Pulp Fiction (Special Collector's Edition) [VHS]
With the knockout one-two punch of 1992's Reservoir Dogs and 1994's Pulp Fiction writer-director Quentin Tarantino stunned the filmmaking world, exploding into prominence as a cinematic heavyweight contender. But Pulp Fiction was more than just the follow-up to an impressive first feature, or the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, or a script stuffed with the sort of juicy bubblegum dialogue actors just love to chew, or the vehicle that reestablished John Travolta on the A-list, or the relatively low-budget ($8 million) independent showcase for an ultrahip mixture of established marquee names and rising stars from the indie scene (among them Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Julia Sweeney, Kathy Griffin, and Phil Lamar). It was more, even, than an unprecedented $100-million-plus hit for indie distributor Miramax. Pulp Fiction was a sensation. No, it was not the Second Coming (I actually think Reservoir Dogs is a more substantial film; and P.T. Anderson outdid Tarantino in 1997 by making his directorial debut with two even more mature and accomplished pictures, Hard Eight and Boogie Nights). But Pulp Fiction packs so much energy and invention into telling its nonchronologically interwoven short stories (all about temptation, corruption, and redemption amongst modern criminals, large and small) it leaves viewers both exhilarated and exhausted--hearts racing and knuckles white from the ride. (Oh, and the infectious, surf-guitar-based soundtrack is tastier than a Royale with Cheese.) --Jim EmersonAction & Adventure VHS Video
