The height of fiction, pulp fiction



The genius Quentin Tarantino, whose latest work " Once Upon a Time in Hollywood " (2019) is also well received. What I always feel when watching his movies is the immensely cool ``fictional'' fun. Audiences who go to movie theaters know the joy of confronting ``fiction.'' Tarantino, who is a huge movie fan, takes this into account when directing ``fiction.''

His cool taste overflows from this, including fast-paced joke-laced conversations, startling visual compositions, explosive violence, music that matches the visuals, and homages to movies of yesteryear. His works have excited movie fans.


`` Reservoir Dogs '' (1994), which brought Tarantino into the limelight as a leading indie artist with ``Reservoir Dogs'' (1992) and became a worldwide genius, was titled ``Pulp Fiction.'' As you can see, it may be said to be the height of fiction.


In a sense, it was a great achievement that such a violent, funny, and vulgar movie won the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, which competes for artistic quality. There was even a hilarious bonus feature in which Tarantino flashed a smile and stuck his middle finger up to the audience who booed at the awards ceremony.


"Pulp Fiction" preview


Star co-stars, typical of Hollywood movies, tend to be seen in a negative light when it comes to art competitions. However, the presence of a strong star is important for Tarantino's works. In this article, I would like to explore the appeal of ``Pulp Fiction'' from the perspective of its stars.


First, let's review the story. As you know, it is an omnibus style series consisting of 3 episodes. The plight of Vincent, a hitman who is forced to accompany his boss' beloved wife Mia on an outing, the escape of Butch, a boxer who wins a match-fixing boxing match against the match-fixing instructions of his boss Marcellus, and the escape of Vincent and his partner Jules. Struggling to dispose of corpses. These interconnected dramas are sandwiched between a prologue and epilogue depicting the end of a restaurant robbery by a criminal couple.
