My all time Favorite Movie--- Pulp Fiction


Hmm.... my favorite past time is watching movies..... And I believe that my biggest strength as well as weakness is my imagination... My mind moves very very fast I just cannot concentrate on anything that doesn't interest me.... One day I had my breakfast I didn't know what to do.. I was lying on my bed with laptop as my belly top.... I was browsing some movies on IMDB... and a name caught my attention... Pulp Fiction rating was I think 8.9.... I saw Shawshank Redemption. It is ranked 1 in imdb.. to be honest that movie was very slow and gave all the excitement at the end and if one does not have the patience to bare with it, he cannot enjoy. But still I agree that It is a classic... Till then I couldn't appreciate top IMDB movies much...
But I don't know why searched pulp fiction on DC++. Mind you I downloaded more movies than I watched. Sometimes I downloaded and didn't even look at movie and deleted it. I used to spend nights and nights and just do nothing on the net those days. Now see this is why I said I don't have concentration... I started at pulp fiction and told about shawshank redemption and God only knows what I am going to write about my movie....
Anyway for the first time I thought I should download a Bluray Rip of around 4.37 GB 720p Rip, Great Clarity people say 1080p is even great. But didn't have chance to see it as my laptop doesn't support it.
Fine Let us begin our journey with movie... I started watching it I am also watching it right now and here I will try to whatever I felt about the movie.
SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT WATCHING IT... STOP HERE, WATCH THE MOVIE AND PROCEED BECAUSE I MAY GIVE THE MINUTEST DETAILS.....
DISCLAIMER: SOME EXPLICIT WORDS HAVE BEEN USED AS THE DIALOGUES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AS IT IS AND OTHERWISE....
AND THE BLOG WILL BE AS FUNKY AND UNORGANISED AS THE MOVIE…..
Ok... MIRAMAX FILMS with a big M..... Meaning of pulp from American Heritage Dictionary
This gives an idea that the movie is gonna be different...
A couple sitting in a restaurant talking... Now this really made me think....A man who is afraid of dangers he but still tempted to rob... make easy money...A woman reminding his weakness that he may be afraid but still cannot resist the temptation.... kind of encouragement.
Waiter interrupting... Moving on we come to know that he is talking about robbing liquor stores... more dangerous than robbing a bank with a mere telephone....
Final conclusion…… the couple wants to make easy money with minimum bloodshed...
A new, different least expected Idea from the man... Lets Rob the restaurant....
A lot of customers…. A lot of wallets… more money than the Register…..
And the brilliance with which whole conversation was moving on and turning out into an attempt to rob the restaurant, is really admirable.... Tim Roth has done really a good job....
Movie stops there... A BAND APART.... PULP FICTION.... John Travolta... Samuel L Jackson...................
Pretty good background music
Two people in a Car.... A Black and a White.... The white one telling about his experiences in Amsterdam...
I liked every bit of the movie.. Its goddamn natural ... I mean these things can happen...
The criminals were going to scare someone is what we get from that....
Now the conversation shifts to the Big Man's wife Mia....
My favorite dialogue here by Samuel L Jackson was 'You know there is an invention called TV and on this invention they show shows right?'
Then the black guy starts telling a much discussed rumor which displays The Big Man's possessiveness for his wife Mia...... It has been rumored that he has threw Antwan from four stories as he gave foot massage to her...
This kind of made the white guy upset... and the argument arose was whether it was right... to a normal man it'd appear wrong but it was as if the white guy tried to convince himself that it was right and started arguing that way..
And this conversation has been marvelously written, directed and acted.... and provides a good comic fodder..
7.22 in the am still got enough time to convince self first and then his friend... white man won the argument....
The white again asked her name… This raised the suspicion….
Finally the reason of this whole argument... the man has been asked to show her a good time as the big man i.e. Marsellus Wallace is going to Florida... and white man tries to convince himself again and again that it’s not a date....
Now till here movie has humorous pointless conversations.....
From now it takes you to pointless or meaningful action... Opening the door...
Now this is great a tactic which I recommend to be adopted by every criminal.... Be cool and don't make anyone freak out even if your sole purpose is to freak him out... just make them feel comfortable around you... avoids a lot of unnecessary chaos.... Still the victims are tensed but not tensed enough to create noise... Brilliant performance by Samuel L Jackson....
My favorite dialogue here 'I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing!!' first rough sentence by the black criminal... makes one of the victims speechless..
Finally the white guy Vincent finds the briefcase for which they have come.. The thing glowing and illuminating his face remains mystery to till date…
Hmm finally the victim starts speaking…. Wrong start…. My recommendation… Do not ask questions… especially when the other guy has a fucking .44 Magnum with him and again If you think you are privileged enough to ask questions… at least don’t try to find names of dangerous people…..  apparently his name was Pit he doesn't want anyone's ass in this shit....
Finally the victim's sincere attempt to save his life... the mistake was not intentional.... and the attempt was disturbed when the black man coolly takes his pistol and shoots Victim on the couch....
"Oh I am sorry.. Did I break your Concentration? I didn't mean to do that please- You were saying something about best intentions." 
No in fact his concentration was so restored that he couldn't even speak... and compelled the black man to speak...
"What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
"What?"
"What country are you from?"
"What? What? Wh - ? "
"What" ain't no country I've ever heard of. They speak English in What?
"What?"
"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Then you know what I'm sayin'!"
"Yes!"
"Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!"
"What?"
"Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!"
My goodness!!!! This was a Powerful and Great dialogue by Samuel L Jackson.. I would have given him an Oscar for this.....(I think he was nominated)
Finally comes to Ezekiel 25:17.....  Followed by a lot of bullets....
VINCENT VEGA AND MARSELLUS WALLACE'S WIFE....
A calm face listening to a hard motherfuckin' fact of life that abilities don't last....
The face is of a Strong Will(is)ed and a Strong built Man named Butch....
The provoking speech would have given giant pain in the ass of the speaker as he was speaking to a Boxer but it seems that envelope containing papers printed with Benjamin Franklin stopped him....
The dialogues delivered by Ving Rhames deserve applause.... 'Fuck Pride... Pride only hurts' seems that butch did fuck pride by saying 'In the fifth my ass goes down'
Enter Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield with some strange cloths on....
Vincent Vega had something on his mind… he was frustrated to hell. He has to take the possessive BIG man’s wife out… and this is what happens when a man who fucked pride and a frustrated man meet… They can’t be friends….
A woman telling about piercings on her body… Vincent has gone to take some stuff and finally ends up getting an expensive stuff which was going to get him a heart attack later in the night…madman….
Vincent Vega driving… unaware of the nightmare waiting for him…. Took few shots of madman…..finally reached the big man’s place where his wife was waiting….
Now the introduction of Mia was really great here…. I literally fell in love with Uma Thurman…. She was looking gorgeous… and her straight forward ways were O my god… Confused Vincent… The only one who could ever teach me was the son of the preacher man… background score… Jackrabbit slims… a wax museum with a pulse, strange place for strange people… pointless conversations… uncomfortable silences five dollar shake and finally the time came when Vincent had courage to ask what happened to Antwan and got an answer…
The moment came Jack Rabbit Slims’ twist contest
Call for the couple….
‘Right here’ a hand rose which gave Vince a surprise …no no no no no … followed by a really funny and funky dance by the ‘couple’ on ‘It was a teenage wedding’
Back to home…. While Vince went to supposedly piss… and Mia dancing… and Vince trying hard to be loyal as being loyal is very important… and Mia taking a few shots of MADMAN which gave her a KICKASS reaction and made her unconscious.. and Vince completely confident that he is not going to lose control on himself came out only to find Mia in a completely unexpected state.
Screeching tyres… on a lonely road at a thundering speed… and entire situation was really tense for the people experiencing it and entertaining for the people watching it… and finally Mia came out of the state only to say “Something” after a great effort by Vince with Lance helping him… and everyone was like ‘Thank God’……………
And finally Vince started to home to have a heart attack… ends with the joke which was used in Pilot acted by Mia… and this performance by John Travolta really deserves Oscar……and he was nominated for it
 To be continued...............
