Pulp Fiction is a controversial film‚ written and directed by Quentin Tarantino‚ in 1994. It has almost everything you could wish for in a movie; drama‚ hilarity‚ intensity‚ action‚ thrills‚ fun‚ intelligence‚ romance‚ intimacy‚ over-the-top bravado‚ vulgarity‚ sweetness‚ humor‚ and soul-searching. The film is very raw and brutal‚ but has a unique sense of style that keeps the viewers entertained. It will build its way up gradually to an incredibly intense scene‚ before dropping down to a relatively

fantasies’.1 They are stereotyped into vacuous roles such as the romantic interest‚ damsel in distress and femme fetale. Female characters are given little to no agency by white male writers and this is overt in 20th century hard-boiled American crime fiction. In the works of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler‚ female characters exist only to serve as foils to re-emphasize the hyper-masculinity of the Continental Op and Phillip Marlowe‚ their respective detective protagonists. I put emphasise on the

Analysis of Pulp Fiction by Alan Stone Alan Stone states his thesis as “Pulp Fiction is already building a cult following‚ even as its mother-fucker language and graphic violence offends others” (610). Much like Tarantino’s film‚ Stone’s article biases toward an audience with a high level of tolerance for violence‚ sick humor‚ and strong language and his ideas jump around like the scenes in the movie and leave the reader confused with poor organization.

One of my favorite aspects regarding Tarantino style is how he chooses to exclude characters or their faces from shots. This can be seen in several times in Pulp Fiction as well as Kill Bill vol 1. In Pulp Fiction we don’t actually see Marcellus’s (Ving Rhames) face till late in the movie all we see is the back of his head with a single Band-Aid on it. Ultimately the effect of this shot is building up Marcellus and giving him an intimidating aura. Tarantino does a similar style of shot when introducing
