Pulp Fiction (May Contain Spoilers)

This past weekend, I sat down and watched a movie called Pulp Fiction (1994). This movie is directed by Quentin Tarantino. In my opinion he is a crazy guy, but most directors who put out brilliant movies are crazy. Tarantino did an amazing job on this film. This film has been referenced a lot and I had no idea what people were talking about, so I decided to rent it and watch it. It was a great decision. There are many different twists to the story and to be completely honest, I was really confused for most of it. But by the end of the movie I finally knew what was happening and could figure it all out, but it took a while. I will eventually go back and watch it and it will make a lot more sense. In my opinion though, it was a brilliant way to make a movie. First it starts out with one story and then goes into all these other stories, but by the end it ends up back in the original story and everything is connected. There are also a lot of famous stars in this movie including: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. Those are just a few of the famous actors who appear in this film.
Not only is the plot of this movie great, but the script is amazing too. I have not seen a lot of Tarantino movies, but one thing that is always a given in his movies, is how great the script will be. The words delivered so precisely and right on cue.
I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who would like to see a brilliant but strange piece of art. It is a movie that you have to see at least once in your life, but realistically you will probably see it more than once, because the first time that you watch this movie it is confusing and will call for a second viewing.
If you want to know what people are talking about when they reference Pulp Fiction, then watch this movie and see for yourself.

Before Reviewing

I first want to say that I am not a professional. All of the upcoming movie reviews to this blog are strictly my opinion. I would love for all of you to comment on what you think, and I will not be offended if you think that what I said is wrong (though that is just your opinion). I am a movie lover. I am not a writer and not a professional critic. I have seen a lot of movies in my time and hopefully will see a lot more in my future. I am in the belief that there are very few movies that should never be seen. Every movie deserves to get a chance and maybe it will not be loved, or not win an award, but someone spent a lot of time creating it and it deserves a chance. So my first piece of advice, is don't say no to seeing a movie, even if you think it will be bad.
