Pulp Fiction is about two hitmen, Jules and Vincent, of a gangster Marsellus Wallace and their philosophy discussions. Their story is interwoven with a boxer Butch and Marsellus's wife, Mia. I have a mix feelings about Tarantino's movies. He often has a very loose storylines with several strands intertwined which I don't like the most. But weirdly he is able to put them into a cohesive story and keep them interesting. The first thing I noticed at the beginning of the movie is all those long lines the characters are throwing out. And their conversation is almost the polar opposite of Wes Anderson's characters, where they are as casual as possible. Tarantino puts all kinds of random topics into characters' conversation, and somehow makes them reappear again and they work well, such as the Royale with cheese. And the interaction between Vincent and Mia is really interesting. *Spoiler*When audiences are expecting something happens between them, Mia ODed. Vincent saved her. And I expected something more happen between them but no, Vincent died. Speaking of Vincent's death, Butch is one of the most frustrating characters I've ever seen in the movie. *Spoiler*When he had to go back to his apartment and find his dad's watch, he was being so careful at first. After he found the watch, HE DECIDED TO EAT BREAKFAST IN HIS APARTMENT. And he saw a gun on the counter. HE DECIDED TO PLAY WITH THE GUN. I don't understand how everything turned out okay for him. Maybe I had too much expectation from this movie. It was good, but I personally prefer Tarantino's Kill Bill. Rating: 8.7/10
