When Vincent and Jules are to bear Marsellus’ wrath upon the young adults who crossed him, they pick up Marsellus’ beloved brief case. The audience never finds out what in the brief case is so important, all they know is that its contents glow, referencing Robert Aldrich’s film Kiss Me Deadly (Pat Dowell). As well as this, Tarantino also refers to Otto Preminger’s film, The Man with the Golden Arm, by having his characters shoot heroin and snort cocaine fearlessly and unapologetically (John Fried). In addition, Tarantino is an admirer of the French director, Jean-Luc Godard, so one can assume that it is not a coincidence that Mia Wallace was made to resemble Godard’s lover and muse, Anna Karina (Pat Dowell). In addition to Tarantino’s post modernism style, he integrates the characters in the movie very well, in doing so he projects an attitude that is passed the social issues of racism. Although he does use a few racial slurs, race is rarely discussed in this film; even when Marsellus, the big, bad, black mob boss himself is picked over the white man to be raped by two
