PULP FICTION

There are 2 things I would go crazy without---Books & Movies. I will spare the reader of pedantry and skip over extolling the virtues of books. Lets talk about movies. I can do it for hours..in fact I do. Am thinking about writing my opinions on the best movies that i have seen.
Let me start with "Pulp Fiction". I will not go overboard and shout it is the best film ever. But its a work of art(am resisting a big temptation to liberally use the "F" word). After all its Pulp fiction I am talking about.

Whats not great in this movie. The narrative style, the unforgettable characters, the apt scores and the crown---the dialogs. Tarantino is a genius who doesn't allow a cliched syllable in the entire length. We enter the heart and minds of the low hit-men. Its makes an interesting thought that central figures of here are the lowly flies in the movies that the hero disposes of in a blink. There we don't give them a thought but here we realize that despite all the works different people do they all have a heart. Indeed at a deeper level this movie is about real people very real ones...not the difficult to distinguish robo-sapiens of the Matrix .

They make "Hamletic" speeches about what to do and what not to do. They brood on right and wrong. They betray, they obey, they love , they kill. Before stepping into the killers liar Bruce Willis talks about pancakes, Travolta & Thurman do drugs, Jackson swears with his breath but they all seem good people. They do what they do but they are what they are.

Over the past 1 year I must have seen it a dozen times. Each time I learn something.

Jules' fiery dominance, Vince's smoothness, Mia's insolence, Butch's goodness, The wolf's unperturbed "work" and I think even the speech by Wallace on pride will all leave an imprint. My sole cause of sadness after the movie is that I wont be able to use such sparkling lines in my everyday talks.
