Pulp Fiction- Film Review
Pulp Fiction, a film starring two of the most well known actors around the world, John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. A film of action, blood and witty comedy, which could only be directed by Quentin Tarantino, an Oscar award winning writer and director. This gangster film has made itself unique by going back and forth in time throughout the film, revealing stories that interconnect to each other and the characters link to one another. It may sound confusing, but you won’t be lost for long watching this laugh out loud sinful film. The film was released in 1994 and till this day it is still a refreshingly different film to all the rest that have come out ever since. Some scenes are astonishingly mad, explicit and crude however they're entertaining as they are acted so precise and well that the craziness is seen as reality to the viewers.
The film begins in an american diner, a couple try to spontaneously rob a cafe, with guns and a crazy look on their face however they still manage to come across harmless when compared to the two hit men in the following scene, John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Although the two characters are driving along talking about burgers, they portray a menacing feel to the scene, they are able to intimidate the audience which shows how spot on their characterisation of the characters were.
The film also stars a well known actor who goes by the name of Bruce Willis, in the film he plays a dodgy boxer and a woman's lover, he's also part of one of the most provocative scenes in the film. As you might be able to tell, this film is original in so many ways and not afraid to show the exaggerated reality of drugs, sex and murderers. Everyone should get the chance to see this film, whether they love it or hate it, it is going down in cinema history. Too good to be ignored.

Thanks Frances. Your writing clearly demonstrates your enthusiasm for the film, and is lucid and well-structured. You use a broad range of vocabulary and include some imaginative descriptions.
ReplyDelete‘Pulp Fiction’ is an absolute classic. What I love most about Tarantino is his passion, which, as a viewer, you can feel in every moment of his films: his passion for narrative and for character, but most of all his passion for cinema itself.
I might have liked you to have written a little more about why you think this is a great film. Also, be careful to check your work carefully for accuracy. There are one or two (yes, I am being rather pedantic) basic errors in your work that you should be picking up yourself. For example, in the penultimate line, ‘its’ should read ‘it’s’ as what you are actually saying is ‘it is’. Also you miss out one or two capital letters. Could you please make these corrections?
I've corrected 'its' to 'it's' but not sure what capital letters I am missing out?
ReplyDeleteAmerican - paragraph 2. Pedantic I know but accuracy is important.
