Pulp Fiction

Pulp Fiction Readers Report

Pulp Fiction features Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta as two of the main characters in an all-star list of actors with Tim Roth, Uma Thurman and Bruce Willis just to name a few of the amazing cast. Jackson and Travolta play hit men seeking out to bring a suitcase back to their boss Marcellus Wallis (Ving Rhames). Fighting there way through many horrible challenges such as accidently shooting someone in the head in broad daylight, heroin overdoses and a Mexican stand off with some small-time criminals; Pulp Fiction will definatly have you talking at the office the next morning.

Pulp Fiction has to be one of the greatest films of all cinema history, FACT! Tarantino delivers another one of his signature fractured narratives throughout the entire film that just keeps getting more and more entwined and thrilling the more the film continues. But fear not as all does come back together after an astonishing 148 minutes that you defiantly feel has been well spent. The only advice I could give for those who haven’t seen Pulp Fiction, is just try to remember each character within the film, not all may be as simple as it first seems. Potential spoilers out of the way; Pulp Fiction not only delivers one of the best film cast’s ever, but also one of the best scripts. Almost every single character has a key line of speech that will be repeated by each viewer time and time again. “…and you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee.” (Jules Winnfield quotation from Ezekiel 25:17)

I’m not saying everything shouldn’t be banned, but is it right for people who find non offensive programs, adverts and films to be banned by majorities? You tell me.

Apocalyptic Movies, Why?

Apocalyptic films, why are we so interested in them? Do we really think that perhaps the sea will one day swallow the Earth and drown us all? Or maybe even aliens buried underground will emerge and cause a real war of the Worlds? In all honesty I don’t think that’s why we feel the need to watch these films, instead I think of it more as us saying to ourselves: “Well obviously it’ll never happen to me, so what’s the big problem with making so many and enjoying them if they’re all so successful?”

I won’t say that this is everyone’s mentality towards these films because I share a different approach to these apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic movies. I personality dislike the majority of this genre of film. However having appreciation for them and enjoying watching them is another thing all together. The main reason I dislike apocalypse movies is that it focus’s the same storylines that films did in the 70’s and 80’s (this being not a lot of real action going on, but stretching the storyline for that extra hours worth, you then become so bored by it you would rather kill yourself by hitting your face repeatedly with a Chihuahua or indeed any small land-based Mammal).

Sarcasm out of the way; this year alone there have been five major films which fit into this ‘end of the World’ category:

1. Terminator Salvation

2. Knowing

3. 2012

4. Zombieland

5. The Road

I haven’t seen all five of these films, but from reviews, blogs, personal opinions and other sources, they seem to fit into the genre that I’m talking about (barring Zombieland which is a comedy). So if you are one of the people that love these films or any apocalypse movie, think why do I like it? Would you really want to know when the World will end? Or would you prefer to remain in the dark? If I was to tell you that the World could actually end on December 21^st 2012; not just because the Mayan calendar ends, but that the Earth is exactly inline with the Sun and the Milky Way; would you still want to watch films that feature the end of mankind? Or would you go out of your way to watch them but think about them in a different way? “What will I do when this is happening to me?”

Thanks for reading,
