Like tableware, movies can actually be classified in this way: disposable movies and repeatable movies. Some movies are very good to watch, but after watching them once, I don't want to watch them a second time. But some movies are different, after watching it once, after a period of time, then open it, and want to watch it again, and like it again. Pulp Fiction falls into the latter category. So, what's the reason?
The reason is that director Quentin Tarantino made the film in the style of a sketch. Because the sketch is short, the plot must be compact, the performance must be sufficient and in place, and there is a lot of dialogue, but it cannot be nonsense, it must be wonderful. There is no need for a long plot line, each segment can basically be independent of the chapter, but each segment looks wonderful. In this way, even if you don't watch the whole movie, you can open a certain paragraph at random, you can see it, understand it, and watch it funny. In fact, the film is indeed like, in fact, the splicing and connection of several small story fragments, and each story can exist independently, and there is no strong mutual logic between the stories, that is, the connection and coherence of several sketches. It looks lighthearted and funny. That's the secret of this film.
The biggest reason for the humor and funnyness of this film is the four "twos": two forced events + two forced characters + two forced performance + two forced dialogue. From the perspective of events, basically every event is not in tune and unreliable. And these inconspicuous events come from a few non-tuned two goods, nonsensical personalities, saying that the two goods are good, saying stupid dicks, in short, it is not normal people. The performance style of the two goods, of course, is nonsensical performance, all kinds of unreliable. Dialogue, of course, is also the second force of young people to be happy, all said is "two words", nonsense. Therefore, the title of the film can be changed to "The Complete Record of the Stupid Things of the Two Forced Youth". This is where happiness comes from.
Although this movie is full of nonsense words, it is not easy to be funny, humorous, and wonderful. Normally, the language of a film requires minimalism — the simpler the better, and too much of a film is not a good movie, but this one is the exception. Only the wonderful "two goods" dialogue of this film can do this.
The music of this film is also in the style of black humor. It also adds a lot to the film.
The disadvantage of the film is that the plot is slightly protracted. The film is two and a half hours long, and it is long. The opening credits alone took 7 minutes (normally 1 minute), mainly the cast list, and it took 5 minutes at the end of the film to get drunk. Now the film is to put the cast list at the end of the film to broadcast.
Some of the plots in the middle of the film are also a bit protracted, a bit like the style of the film, poor mouth, long-winded. Although this is also the fascinating part of the film, it is slightly overdone. Pinch off for half an hour. But this is also a common problem of old movies. Even older films are actually 10 minutes of rest in the middle.
