Comments/ reception To me, this film is a one of a kind piece of art that Quentin Tarantino beautifully wrote and directed. Some aspects of the movie the fact that the audience must decrypt the order of the scenes were not my favorite, but overall this film is one of the greatest, in my eyes. Tarantinos use of dialogue in this film is astonishingly foxy as most people would not think of gangsters as the part to enjoy a good intellectual conversation.Similarly, I found it enkindle that Samuel L. Jacksons character, Jules Winnfield, seemed to be a religious man in that twice during the movi e he recites Ezekiel 2517 from the bible, as well as believing that the fact that they had been shot at several clock and had not been hit was a sign from God. Tarantino does an outstanding job with having the first and the last scenes partially overlap as well as having them string out at the same time, even though they are not presented together in the movie.He ultimately allows the audience to see the same scene twice but from an entirely new perspective without even realizing it at first. All in all, Quentin Tarantinos Pulp Fiction is not only a classic American film that has forever changed several media, but it also successfully skews the audiences morals into unknowingly viewing the bad guys as the heros, which is no easy task in film. This is a must see film for all who love a great film as well as a good deal of blood.
