Pulp Fiction低俗小说英文影评

Pulp Fiction
Comparing with Forrest Gump, which describes a kind of positive life attitude, pulp fiction shows the life of the underworld organizations in Los Angeles. The film is funny, sophisticated, standing ahead and it shoulders above most mainstream American films. Now, I am going to share my views about this old film.
First, the construction of the film is distinctive. It seems to illustrate three different stories, but actually these three stories are related to each other. It rejects the traditional linear narration, cutting the whole story into many tiny plots in disorder and linking them
end-to-end again. It may show a certain plot in a same scene but from different perspectives of various roles. On the other hand, a same role plays different characters in different stories. For example, Jules is a cruel killer when he carries on the orders of his superior, however, he takes a turn for dedicated Christian after he survived a shooting. He even played the role of savior in the last scene. He not only decided to throw up his job as a killer, but also let two robbers off although they had pointed a gun at his head. His enlightenment changed the result of this incident in a sort of sense, because his partner was killed in the next duty due to his absence. In terms of his partner, overconfident Vincent, his death became the movie final end. I am not surprised by his death, in other words, this is to be expected. His hubris and stupid egotism definitely lead to such a pathetic result. He had never imaged that he would be killed by Butch, a man who had been looked down upon by himself. By the way, it is really ridiculous that Vincent, the leading actor in such a more than 150 minutes film, was killed by a supporting actor with little effort and dialogues.
In addition, as a movie regarding underworld, two killers take the lead role in it. However, comparing with other gangster films, their daily humorous conversation such as the name of hamburgers in various countries and a little dispute explain a large number of this movie, instead of monotonous fight scenes or individualistic heroism. These common conversations make the movie become more natural. Meanwhile, naturalness of the film makes character traits more distinctive, such as greedy, fear, disgust, forgiveness, so forth and so on. Certainly, these intentionally or unintentionally dialogues imply the following development of plots if you pay attention to their details, as any other movies.
Finally, the director put the end of this incident, the death of Vincent, in the penultimate part. What is more, Jules's change becomes the last part of this film, although it happens before Vincent died. In my view, it helps to connect the end with the beginning of the film, which means crimes circulate unceasingly. Except that, I suppose this detail is designed to show that criminals should be redeemed from evil, no matter by Christ or themselves.。
