Pulp Fiction


When Quentin Tarantino gets behind a camera and directs a film, there is always a great movie being made. One such movie that had this taste of greatness is Pulp Fiction. This film was created in 1994, a staggering fifteen years ago, and it is still a great movie to this day. Tarantino has created such a great film through the use of dialogue mostly and character creation.

Throughout Pulp Fiction, there are two elements that bring everything together and tell the whole story. One of these elements are the characters. The actors in this film do more than just act out a character, instead, they actually become the character that they are portraying. There is no sign of forced acting in this film and that is what completes it. Since there is no artificial feeling, the film feels more sincere and real. Also, the characters are well developed in the minds of the actors as well as by the dialogue taking place.

Dialogue is the other such element that helps to bring the movie together. All of the characters seem to have a different way of talking and they are all very dialogue heavy. There is little need to read the faces of the characters on screen to know what they are thinking and how to react. Through their communications between each other, it is easy to understand just where the characters stand. With very little guess work on the audience's part, it allows for a more fast-paced movie, one that can say a lot and still keep going.

Overall, Pulp Fiction is one of the great cult-classics of the nineties. It is an epic film that uses dialogue like few films have before. The amazing character development allows the audience to feel closer to the characters and feel a sense of remorse when any of them gets knocked. No movie-goer will go home disappointed with this film.
