It isn't just the ODs, royales with cheese, or other quotes that make this film great. Pulp Fiction is what it is and there simply isn't a better way to put it. Every single thing in the movie makes it great and I'm not really sure how else to put it. The acting, Quentin Tarantino, the amount of times the word "fuck" is said (I think it was over 300). It is all so memorable and that is why Pulp Fiction remains a pop culture icon.
It really isn't easy to sum up the movie in a paragraph, but here it goes. A couple at a diner, two hit men (John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson), a boxer (Bruce Willis), and a gangster's wife (Uma Thurman) lives all intertwine. The tales come together in unusual ways. The film follows a non-linear timeline. Other cast members include Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, Eric Stolz, and Rosanna Arquette.
The film has so many memorable scenes, but the overdose is my favorite. When the characters are forced to save a woman who has overdosed on cocaine, movie magic occurs. Maybe it's the acting, I don't know why, but it is just so great. Also, Travolta and Jackson's conversation about burgers is just so great. Another great scene is when a car goes over a bump and Jackson accidentally shoots a man and his brains blow all over him.
There isn't more to say than just go watch it. Pulp Fiction is a milestone in movie history and deserves to be watched by everyone. It may not be a film for everybody, but still, it is one of the best films of all time. If you have never understood what somebody was quoting, this movie was probably it. Go watch it! Now!
