      Tarantino is famous for
      1) Violence
      2) Dialogue
      3) Non-linear story telling
      4) Incorporating his foot fetish in his movies
      5) Outstanding song selection for the soundtracks

    Jules retiring means that it was Vincent and Marsellus that were staking out Butch's house. When Butch runs over Marsellus you see he is carrying coffee and donuts. He was on his way back to Butch's house where he and Vincent were looking for Butch. The reason Vincent didn't realize Butch was in the house while he was sitting on the toilet is because he assumed it was Marsellus coming back with coffee and donuts.
    Vincent is on the toilet all the time because heroin causes constipation.

    The cool factor to this movie is off the charts. Even today, nearly 30 years after its release, with tons of movies being influenced by Tarantino's style of dialogue etc, it still comes off as fresh and cool to me. Back in 94 it was mind blowing to me. Glad you enjoyed it.
    Also impressed with how quickly you were able to piece together the films events in chronological order immediately after viewing it. A number of people I've shown this movie to often initially have various levels of confusions as to when each event occurs.

    • @CasualNerdReactions
      @CasualNerdReactions  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think it helps that I love Nolan films so I've at least seen some films that were out of sequence before. It was a bit jarring though to suddenly be back at the beginning.

    21:31 “What are the odds?” Really good actually. Marcellus and Vincent were staking out Butch’s apartment together. Marcellus went to go get coffee and donuts. If you look carefully, he’s carrying two cups. This explains why Vincent didn’t do anything when he heard Butch come in. He thought it was Marcellus. That’s also why he felt comfortable leaving his gun on the counter.

    One of my favorite parts of this movie is how Christopher Walken's tone changes during his monologue. He starts the watch story speaking reverentially about the past wars but is understandably hostile when talking about the one he took part in. It's a perfect transition and it really makes the whole speech for me.

    I was 24 when Pulp Fiction came out. I saw it 12 times in the theater (still the record). Every time a friend or relative said they hadn't seen it, I said "Drop everything and let's go." I bought the soundtrack, the screenplay and four Tarantino biographies. Before it was released on VHS, I recorded the audio from the scrambled pay-per-view channel so I could listen to it in the background. I did a dramatic reading of the script on a road trip with my college academic team. I wore my Pulp Fiction ball cap until it was in tatters. At an antique mall, I found a ceramic kangaroo like the one that held Butch's watch, and I happily paid $60 for it. When the VHS finally came out, I watched it repeatedly. Quentin, during a deleted scene segment, recommended using a Hi-8 camcorder, so I went out and bought two. I wrote a screenplay and attempted (unsuccessfully) to film my own movie with friends and acquaintances. So yeah, it had a bit of an impact on me.

    My One Big Thought about this movie comes down to Jules's speech at the end, and being a "shepherd." This movie is about a bunch of criminal low-lives, but somewhere in their irredeemable lives, each story involves one low-life helping another low-life out of a bad situation in a moment of shared humanity. Also, that Nick Fury vs. Abomination comment wasn't a "casual" nerd reaction - that was *hardcore* nerd and I'm all about it! 🖖🤓 (now I need a Fury/Blonski scene, dammit!)

  • @kylewestlake982

    Once nice little detail about the OD scene is that heroin is typically shipped in balloons and cocaine in baggies, and Lance was out of balloons, so he used a baggie. That's why Mia thought what she was sorting was cocaine.

    Just like Reservoir Dogs (his debut, that you DEFINITELY need to watch) revolutionized independent American cinema, Pulp Fiction was a shotgun blast to the face of Hollywood, and thus Tarantino became a titan of modern filmmaking.

    This is the most wonderful example I've seen of how segments of a story, told out of chronological order, can have a totally different effect from what they would have had if seen in the order in which they occurred. This kind of thing first hit me very hard in college, when I read Paradise Lost, and Pulp Fiction is probably the only thing I've seen that produces the same kind of result even more strongly.

  • @madraven3346
    @madraven3346 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    As someone who used to do some shady business once upon a time and had a few bad habits like Vincent's, taking Mia to the hospital would bring down a whole world of trouble that would land them both in hot water with Marcellus and the law.
    It was pretty much a requirement in those days to have an EMT or a compromised doctor on the payroll if anyone needed medical care that would bring down cops if you went to the hospital (ODs, gunshots, etc)
    And Vincent's habit is why he's always in the bathroom (constipation is the first unglamorous side effect of junk)

  • @itt23r
    @itt23r ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Most people I think like this movie for all the interesting and fun vignettes. But after watching reactions to it many times now I've come to realize it is a morality play that might be best described by the quote from Ezekiel 25:17 Jules states at the start of the movie and breaks apart in the diner scene. But to get this you have to first put all the scenes into chronological order.
    When you do that you see it is about two central characters, Jules and Vincent and their attitude toward faith. It begins with a miracle that Jules recognize and Vincent ignores. What follows is an encounter with an angel, Mr. Wolf, who saves their bacon from the incident and actually symbolically baptises them in the backyard with a garden hose. Jules is grateful and eager to change his life. Vincent is unresponsive.
    And Vincent is then given 3 more chances to see the light (all highlighted by his being in the bathroom) . In the first one it happens when he leaves the restroom in the diner to walk right into an armed robbery. And in this one Vincent is saved by the newly reformed Jules whose calmness keeps Vincent from being shot.
    In his next close call he is saved by his drug dealer who represnts Jesus Himself (which you can see by his long hair. beard, tunic and his sandals. He even brings a girl back to life to make it clear.
    But Vincent is still unmoved and finally meets his just end in the bathroom of course at the hands of Butch, who I believe represents the angel of death. I say that by the fact that he kills more people than anyone else, shows no remorse over any of their deaths and even his choice of weapons in the army navy store (a katana sword) gives it away.
    So that is my take on it. Its a morality play I'm guessing Tarantino lifted from some anceint old world culture told using underworld characters and out of sequence to disguise its origins.

    • @donpietruk1517
      @donpietruk1517 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's also a lot of darkly comedic elements to the salvation plot line. Christopher Walkens whole watch story delivery, the accidental killing of Marvin, the drug dealers wife (great cameo by Roseanna Arquette) who has a needle obsession. Both people who shake Mia's hand (not touch her feet) in this movie end up suffering extreme consequences.

    My late friend Alexis is the guy hiding in the closet who tries to shoot them and misses. Their sister is the drug dealer's girlfriend. Travolta was a big star in the 70's and 80's but his career was essentially over before this movie came out. It single handedly restarted his career.

    Great reaction to your first effort at watching a Tarantino film. *Some fun facts and revelations:* (1) The scene where Vincent Vega stabs downward on Mia Wallace's chest was actually filmed in reverse or backwards. (2) The machine gun on the kitchen table was purportedly left there by Marsalis Wallace when he went out for coffee and doughnuts. (3) The wallet with the words "BAD MF" actually belonged to Quentin Tarantino. He named it as an homage to singer/musician *Issac Hayes* who included those words in his song "Theme from Shaft".

As in - everything confusing is accounted for; Tarantino really did everything right in this one, and it's such a fun composition and well executed interconnected story!
    Easy to miss: What are the odds of meeting Vincent *and* Marcellus so soon? Marcellus hugs Vincent in the beginning of the film - they are close - Jules is out; Marcellus was carrying a large pink box of donuts (it's early morning) and *two* tall coffees, when Butch ran him over!
    Also - clue: Mia did not snort cocaine, when she overdosed.
    Everything is accounted for!

    There’s a little desensitizing effect that modern audiences have for this movie in that they have most assuredly seen a movie that was influenced by this and this softened the power this movie had when it was all alone and new. Like a punch to the face of cinema.

    One small detail I loved is that heroin addiction gives you constipation. That’s why Vincent is always on the toilet.
    That and the dance sequence was a direct homage to a French new wave crime film by Godard called ‘Bande à part’ where they have a lovely impromptu dance in a cafe to a jukebox.
    Tarantino’s production company for his films is coincidentally called A Band Apart.

    I was around 15 when I first watched this movie when it was released for home video, and I have been a Tarantino fan ever since. Happy to see in the comments that you are continuing with more of his work.
    At this time I will make my obligatory recommendations for watching True Romance & Four Rooms.
    True Romance was written by Tarantino, but he sold the screenplay in order to help fund making Reservoir Dogs, which was his feature film debut. Tony Scott ended up directing True Romance.
    True Romance is one of my all time favorite movies and it is interesting to see how another director handles a Tarantino written film.
    Four Rooms takes place on New Year’s Eve and is actually 4 short stories, with each story being directed by a different director, Tarantino being one of them.
    Both movies have a stacked cast. Like a lot of directors, Tarantino has his favorite actors and actresses that he works with regularly.
    Looking forward to more Tarantino reactions!

    Happy to see you liked this! I saw it in the theater when it came out and the atmosphere in the audience was electric. I think we all realized we were seeing something special. You mentioned enjoying the music (I did too - went out and bought the soundtrack immediately afterwards). One of many great things Tarantino is known for is the great music choices in his movies. An interview I read of his he mentioned he often has specific songs in mind when he writes his scenes and then he gets the rights to the songs when he makes the films. He’s so good at creating these memorable scenes that for me whatever song is playing during the scenes have become forever linked in my mind with those songs. For better or worse 😉. Enjoy your Tarantino trip - it’s quite a ride!

    My favorite movie, thank you for your review (nice haircut btw). So much my favorite that I bought and still to this day, use the matching wallet. I think Tarantino improved the movie a great deal, by not telling it in chronological order. There were so many little hidden gems and interesting ways of doing things, that were so easily missed. Like when Butch is in the taxi, in order to put more emphasis on the scene, very few notice that the outside and background are in black and white. Thank you again, have a great day.

    I remember seeing this in theaters just after it came out, back when there used to be $1.75 second-run theaters. I remember loving it immensely, though I couldn't articulate why. Love how at least 2/3 of what Jules recites as Ezekiel 25:17 is not even in the Bible; the only part that's actually that passage is the "strike down ... with furious anger" and "you will know my name is the Lord" bits.
    Would definitely recommend checking out all of Tarantino's other movies. Everyone has their favorites and least favorites of his, but his filmography is genuinely an album with zero skips. It won't take too long to get through them all -- there are only ten (nine, if you count Kill Bill as one). He's working on one now that is supposed to be his final film as a director.

    This is one of those movies...
    My friends and I thought it was a riot when it came out. We all grew up rough and delinquent, too smart for our own good. And our orbit always included these sorts of trainwrecks, at least at the fringes. We laughed and cracked-up quoting it forever, because it was so outlandishly not quite realistic, but still so recognizable.
    And it's a movie that I love to see reactors watch, because some are so baffled and horrified. Generally I see Tarantino as a bit baroque in catering to violent and salacious interests. But it works really well in this movie. And it shows well which reactors have seen the less seemly side of life.

    You hit the nail on the head about enjoying watching the movie. This is the reason for watching movies to be entertained. There’s no over all messages that your supposed to have after. No philosophy but that of being entertaining. The performances were top notch. The story was well written. The arrangement of the story was great. The actor that played Buddy Holly in the restaurant was Steve Buscemi. Tarantino said that the brief case had Marsellus Wallace’s soul in it , and the band aid on the back of the neck was where it was taken from.

It’s just such a taught, revealing film about a teenager who has lost his brother in a boating accident, since that time, he’s tried to kill himself, and he’s now completing his senior year of high school with a lot of grief, confusion, and a psychiatrist played by Judd Hirsh. It’s ‘Ordinary People’ and I think that you’ll care about the people who populate the film and his life -and I think that you’ll be wholly engrossed . You’re welcome ☺️

    Glad you noted the Pepsi challenge, as that forms part of one of the film's internal rhymes. Pepsi challenge + vanilla coke yield changing Coke to Pepsi. Also, both Vincent and Jules pay $1,500 for something. Butch interacts consecutively with 2 women who are both brunette, barefoot and have foreign accents. Butch's fight involves boxers with the names of 2 U.S. presidents. And so forth.
