2024-08-19 18:06:18 +0000 UTCthese people who get caught up in sheeple reactions to letters put together to form a word. The F word originated in Europe and wasnt even considered a cuss word. But some religious jrkoff decided to make it dirty and the id1iots bought into it. lol

2023-09-22 18:35:28 +0000 UTCThe reaction to this film is mostly two-sided. You either loved it or hated it. Because of the controversy, we analyzed Pulp Fiction in a rhetorical communication class. One of the things we found was that the love vs. hate was founded in whether the watcher could/did recreate the time line effectively. The scenes in the film were NOT shown in chronological order. If they recreated the time line, they loved it. If they didn't/couldn't recreate the time line, then it was just "talking with lots of shooting" (and too many characters) ;) I loved watching your reaction even though you didn't like the movie

2022-08-31 18:21:16 +0000 UTCVery good interpretation and I just want to add a few thoughts. 😉 For me, the movie is great. Different violent people who don't know each other get in contact on different places and different times on 4 days and affect each others life massively. Normally nobody would care about each other, but different coincidences let their lifes take a turn to the better (Butch, Jules, Marsellus, even probably Mia) or to the worse (Vincent). I think most of the people who don't like the movie are more annoyed that the episodes are not in chronological order than the showed violence which is one aspect people should think about. Well, but very soon in this movie everbody knows that there isn't a chronological order and that you have to watch the whole movie to get the sense and the story. Otherwise the movie would be absolutely pointless and without any goal or intention like some dialogues appear to be. But even the pointless dialogues aren't that pointless as such because they alternate with really tense scenes, so there is always the contrast from one moment to the other. Of course you're right, the whole story about the watch was needless ... but that's Quentin Tarantino. 😉 Also if it was in chronological order, the last scene of the movie would be Butch driving away with Fabienne with the sentence 'Zed is dead' like the ending of a western. But it isn't and instead it ends like it starts with the difference that the last scene only seems to be violent. However it is the last twist of the movie, there isn't any violence and instead it has something like a 'Happy End'. 😊

2021-12-30 03:01:05 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. And I can appreciate and respect your honesty toward this movie. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. This is however my number one favorite. I guess I am bias when it comes to Quentin Tarantino films. Keep up the good work with your channel.

2021-09-13 00:03:25 +0000 UTCNot a fan generally of Tarantino, but this movie is brilliant. I enjoyed the watch along

2021-09-10 13:15:58 +0000 UTCFunny that you complain about F-bombs but still use the R-word. Please revise what you say on the internet. Also, please explain what is wrong with saying fuck?
Hans Olav
2021-09-09 07:09:55 +0000 UTCTarantino is without question a top 10 director. Just because you live in a fantasy with no violence or foul language, doesn't make that not true. Feel free to continue living in your bubble, but please don't try and become a judge of talent if you limit your experience...

2021-08-18 17:25:27 +0000 UTC@steve some people consider the r-word foul language as well.
Mark M
2021-08-15 22:32:16 +0000 UTCSorry but that's ridiculous. I guess you think SCHINDLER'S LIST is terrible too then? Also filled with foul language and excessive violence.
Patrick Flanagan
2021-07-22 04:15:01 +0000 UTCTried to watch along with you, but sorry, couldn't make it because of the 400 f-bombs in the first 20 minutes of this filthy and retarded movie. I think Tarantino is without question the worst director of all time. Anytime someone uses excessive foul language and excessive violence, like QT, you know it's to hide the obvious bad plot and poor acting.

2021-07-10 08:57:02 +0000 UTCLike I said "The masturbatory fantasies of a 13 year old." Welcome to Quentin Tarrantino.
Lee Ellis
2021-06-22 10:30:34 +0000 UTCI totally agree. Some movies are better over the years. I’m not a big fan of Kill Bill movies. I love Once Upon at Time in Hollywood, Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, and Death Proof.

2021-06-17 00:28:16 +0000 UTCHaha those ones may be the only ones I might try out after this!
Cassie
2021-06-16 20:45:38 +0000 UTCI guess just in the other two QT movies I saw (Inglorius Batards and Django) I felt like the dialogue was more part of the story and the characters. I just keep thinking about Butch's girlfriend and the scene where she is going on about her tummy or other small things like that. haha looking back now a week or so later I did love the dancing scene and the "fixer" clean up part!
Cassie
2021-06-16 20:44:43 +0000 UTCI think you should stop focusing on the fact that you think the scenes are too long and "it's just people talking" and enjoy films for what they are. The scenes are as long as they are supposed to be according to the director's vision. It's art. You watch it.

2021-06-16 02:12:55 +0000 UTCYou're reaction wasn't far off... what was this movie about? Overall, it was a fun B-Movie that happened to follow weird events in people's lives. Life is strange.

2021-06-15 05:43:04 +0000 UTCI didn't like this movie the first time I saw it. Over the decades, though, I found that the film ages like a fine wine. I was able to appreciate it more and more as time went on and with each occasional rewatch. Kill Bill is - in my opinion - some of his best work. I'm certain it'd draw in a lot of new subs. When it comes to classic Quentin, Reservoir Dogs is really great. It's got about the same level of violence as Fiction. If you liked Harvey Keitel (The Wolf), he's in it much more too, along with Steve Buscemi. Also like this one, it's a patient movie.

2021-06-14 13:32:14 +0000 UTCSo many people think the Die Hard, running around with your finger on the trigger of a firearm, even without a target, looks cool. It's f'ing stupid. And dangerous in RL. The scene with Jules in the car is a fantastic reversal of this, a great cinematic example of why those in mainstream gun culture are anal about gun safety.
Michael Hawk
2021-06-14 05:35:32 +0000 UTCThe thing I think a lot of people miss about this movie is that it’s actually almost entirely about the concept of fate and divine intervention - Vincent and Mia are saved from a cataclysmic love affair that might have left them both dead if she hadn’t OD’d; Marsellus would have killed Butch, or Butch would have gone to jail for killing Marsellus and eventually been murdered himself by Marsellus’s people if he hadn’t run into that pawn shop; the Wolf is divine intervention personified; and then Jules takes up the mantle himself when he spares Ringo and Yolanda because of the earlier intervention that got him thinking about his path. Not for nothing, but I think the characterizations and performances here are unmatched by anything QT has done since. I’m not a huge fan of the Butch story, they could have cut it and I’d never have missed it, but Mia and Vincent, Vincent and Jules, and Ringo and Yolanda are all stunning stories, especially Mia and Vincent. Their entire sequence feels like a car wreck happening in slow motion. They are both so obviously instantly love struck (or lust struck anyway), Vincent is so clearly trying to stop what’s coming, and Mia so plainly does not give a shit. That entire dinner sequence leading up to the dance, which is silly but also crazily sexually charged, is a fantastic case study in actors living in subtext. Neither of them ever says what they’re really thinking, but you know what’s happening anyway. It’s incredible. I can understand the movie not being everybody’s cup of tea though. The violence is extreme, and I can see the dialogue feeling pointless, although I personally love the wild digressions.
Brian Harris
2021-06-13 09:32:24 +0000 UTCI think you might like Kill Bill a little more. It has a character you can root for and get behind. Whatever you do, skip Reservoir Dogs. There is a scene in that one this is brutal and disturbing.

2021-06-13 03:50:29 +0000 UTCI’m a 90s kid and got a lot of the references in the movie. My hubby is 9.5yrs older than I am. He’s seen this movie multiple times and I just watched it the first time completely. I’ve heard of them movie of it but never watched. If someone who was born after the movie was released probably not understand it. Also alot of Tarantino movies overlap each other as well. I’ve seen seen quite a few of his movies. Can’t wait to Cassies reaction.
HorrorFan87
2021-06-13 00:50:47 +0000 UTCI like the movie just fine; there are plenty of movies that other people like that I don't. As to your reaction, your liking everything presented so far would be more of an eyebrow raiser to me. By-the-way; a look of complete shock IS a reaction and it was satisfactory to see. Now the case; the contents were never revealed and they were actually beside the point. I heard rumors like it was Marcellus' soul or that it was the diamonds from Reservoir Dogs... forget the case, it was only a tool to drive the plot(s). Enjoyed the perfectly appropriate reaction; looking forward to more.
Michael Labs
2021-06-12 23:22:20 +0000 UTCWell, hey... I voted Kill Bill, so nailed it, I guess.
Derrick C. Shields
2021-06-12 17:18:45 +0000 UTCCassie no more Tarantino - preserve your soul and stay away. I personally find no redeeming quality in his work. Just my opinion.
Matt Williams
2021-06-12 17:15:40 +0000 UTCThe reason why this movie was such a big hit was the way Tarantino wove 3 stories together in a loop that ended right at the beginning. You could play this movie backwards and it would end up in the same place. It's like a cinematic palindrome. lol No one has ever made a film like this before its release. It was pretty original at the time. I'd say his Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Pulp Fiction was well-deserved. But its okay to dislike the film. The drawn out shots, not so plot-driven dialogue, and graphic violence is not for everyone.
Prof. Writhms
2021-06-12 16:41:07 +0000 UTCi dont blame her for not liking it, but i strongly disagree with your implication that the main reason people like it is that they were 12-13 years old. This movie is one of his most beloved, and has a high score among critics.
Armchair Rizzard
2021-06-12 16:22:27 +0000 UTCIMDb score of 8.9. That's all that really needs to be said about Pulp Fiction.
OkieBoomer
2021-06-12 16:05:20 +0000 UTCI knew you wouldn’t like it. I walked out on this film in the theater. Not my cup of tea.
Catherine LW
2021-06-12 15:40:14 +0000 UTCI love Tarantinos early stuff, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and True Romance (which he wrote, but did not direct). But I don't care for his later stuff. The dialog is what makes it to me. Funny and clever. There's a lot of violence but it's part of the story. In his later movies not so much. Anyway, it's was fun to watch your reaction even though you didn't like it.

2021-06-12 13:14:33 +0000 UTCInteresting comparison. Gilmore Girls with a lot of blood. Lol.
Brian McGovern
2021-06-12 12:59:57 +0000 UTCHaha don't ever feel bad about liking or not liking something. I love this movie and Tarantino but this and Reservoir Dogs came out when I was in middle school going into high school. The thing you have to understand about his early movies is it was something that no one had ever seen before. He has a lot of cinematic throwbacks as an homage to old movies he loved as a kid(which was fun to find, learn about, explore) but that aside his style was brand new. I never saw a movie where people talked like real people, it was raw and edgy, and the dialog was quick, clever, and punchy, and it had almost uber violence. The cinematic style also really complemented the intimacy of the characters. The shots were either very close on the character's face or very wide static shots(where you said the scene seemed to take too long). These wide static shots not only show the characters but how they fit in the world Tarantino built for us and often times, the predicament they put themselves into. So, as a 12-13 year old kid, we find a guy who makes a movie my friends and I have never seen before about gangsters talking about the craziest things and we loved it. We would analyze the scenes, memorize the quotes, pretend we were as clever as Tarantino or his characters. But, I think it was the time. This is probably his only movie that is this disjointed, but that's part of the the movie itself. It's pulp fiction. Pulp fiction was this old crime, cheap novels. So, the movie is more like an anthology of stories around a common theme. I think it's easier if you just think about them as smaller stories in a bigger universe. Again, don't worry about about whether you should like a movie or not. If you like something then you like it; if you don't then you don't. Movies are subjective and supposed to entertain. I proud of you tackling a movie that is a classic movie and definitely something that inspired a lot of movies\directors in the 90s. I enjoyed your react :D
