Vincent and his dealer basically sets her up unintentionally. Heroin was traditionally sold in balloons at the time and coke in baggies. So when the dealer says he’s out of balloons and Vincent accepts a baggie they set up the mistake. By general drug culture at the time, Mia had every reason to believe that the baggie contained her usual favorite recreational drug and not heroin.
@@djpeternice when she od’s the discussion is along the lines of “oh wow, wonder what it was cut with”. I don’t think they had any idea that she overdosed because she thought it was coke but it was heroin
Briefcase: Tarantino said that what's inside of it is whatever the audience wants it to be. The best theory is that it's Marsellus' soul that he sold to the devil (for success, power, etc.). In Chinese culture, the soul is said to be removed from the back of the head. Hence, the bandaid. Also, the lock combination for the briefcase is 666. Mia overdosing: Wasn't laced. She thought it was coke; not heroin. Vincent dying: Probably wouldn't have happened if Jules didn't decide to quit the crime-life, since they would have gone to the apartment together. Vincent always on the toilet: Constipation is a symptom of heroin use. The Twist trophy: They didn't actually win. When Butch is sneaking back to his apartment to get his watch, a TV or radio news report can be heard as he passes other apartment units, and it says the trophy was stolen.
I disagree with the soul being the best theory. When Tim Roth sees it he says "is that what I think it is"? Like anyone, nevermind a fine store hood, is going to instantly identify what a soul looks like. And for Samuel L. Jackson to reply it was what Tim Roth thinks it is, it'd have to be common enough to obvious. Like if I show you a pickle and you say "is that what I think it is"...I can assume you're going to guess what it is. But if I show you the immaterial essense of human form and you say "is that what I think it is?" I mean I don't know...maybe you think it's a ghost or a hologram or radioactive waste. So yeah the soul theory to me has always been the weakest. Even I was looking directly at my own soul I probably wouldn't instantly understand what it is.
Hitchcock said: "A MacGuffin is an object that the characters very much care about, but the audience does not." By never saying what's in the suitcase and adding the light, Tarantino makes the audience very much want to know what is in it. But if we would know, we really wouldn't care about its role in the story.
Yup, 1994 was agreat year for film overall... The Lion King, Ed Wood, Bullets over Broadway, Quiz Show, Legends of the Fall, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Speed, True Lies, The Mask, Dumb & Dumber, Interview with a Vampire, Peter Jackson´s breakthough movie Heavenly Creatures....
High school dances in the 50s were called "sock hops" because they usually took place in the gym and everyone had to take off their shoes to avoid scuffing up the floor. It makes sense that a 50s-themed restaurant might have the same rule for a Twist contest.
There’s 3 short stories in this movie, hence its name. The first story is split into 2 parts to bookend the film, in order to give it a sense of completion. Day in the life of 2 hitmen part 1 The gangster and the mob boss wife The boxer and the mob boss Day in the life of 2 hitmen part 2 3 stories, 3 protagonists. Jules in the first, Vincent in the second, butch in the third.
The movie definitely has a moral streak running through the whole thing. The story of the gold watch makes you laugh, but it explains why Butch goes back to save Marcellus. Mia, being the boss's wife, feels very entitled to anything she wants so she helps herself to Vincent's drugs. She pays the price for that. Marcellus tells Butch to forget his pride and throw the fight, but what happens to Marcellus's pride? Vincent puts Butch down in the bar for no reason, he just looks down on Butch. Who comes out on top before the movie is over? Vincent rejects the possibility of a miracle in his life, Jules recognizes it as a miracle, who lives and who dies? One of my favorite parts of the humor of this movie is how someone will say something that sounds like a lie and because of that it's funny. But it turns out to be the literal truth which somehow makes it funnier. Jules compliments Jimmy's coffee, which sounds like a lie meant to calm Jimmy down. But later when the Wolf shows up, he gets a cup of coffee...and after tasting it he nods at Jimmy in approval. When Jules tells Ringo which wallet is his, it sounds like he's just saying that to intimidate Ringo. But when Ringo pulls the wallet out, it says exactly what Jules said was on it.
Would explain why Marcellus escapes with his life and freedom in the end and why Bruce got away with his wife and watch: Marcellus repaid his debt to Bruce for saving him from a life of sex slavery, so long as he stayed out of LA (which would mean he HAS to kill him instead of pretend he's still hiding) and spoke of the whole thing to no one, and Bruce saved him in the first place when he could have left him to his fate, allowing him to escape with his wife and get out of LA. Both men showed virtue and morality, despite not being the most moral themselves.
for me this is one of the greatest films of all time so ahead of it's time when it was released...lets not forget the music score.. and amazing acting.
Sir it’s the best movie of all time, can you tell me what’s it about? Cuz I e seen it lots of times and I still don’t know. And what’s in the case? And who is gimp?
John Travolta became a star with three movies: Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Urban Cowboy. All three featured him dancing, albeit in totally different styles. Thus when Pulp Fiction came out, there was instant nostalgia feels when the twist contest happened in Pulp Fiction.
Yeah, and it is kinda underated. One of scorsese's best, along with another one thats not as famous as the other "mafia" ones would be Gangs of New York.
Ever since Covid f'd up going to a theater to see movies, I've been appreciating the variety of film reaction channels on YT, & 3 years later wanna tell you 2 I think you're one of the best couples doing just that...appreciate you, brand-new subscriber in Seattle here! Looking forward to more, you guys...
"I'MMA GET MEDIEVAL ON YO ASS!!"🤣🤣 Great reaction! Yes, Mia is Uma Thurman who was in Kill Bill. She OD'd because she thought heroin was cocaine and snorted it. The waiter is Steve Buscemi. He was in Reservoir Dogs and a bazillion other movies. The Wolf is Harvey Keitel.
You're names are Shoshana and Vince? Those are 2 prolific names in the Tarantino universe, which is awesome! As you can see, Vince is in this movie and Shoshana is in Inglorious Basterds.
From screen writing, to directing, this film, more than most, was responsible for changing the way motion pictures were made! It really was a landmark production in its time!
*Mia* thinks it's cocaine, as heroin is generally put into balloons. *Lance* had no balloons and asked *Vincent* if a baggie was ok. Were it in a balloon, she would've known it was heroin and not snorted it. 😰 Someone probably addressed that, but on the off-chance they didn't, I thought I'd mention it. Be well!🙋🏼♂️
@@Ellen_Ripley_ Correct. She was used to doing coke like in the bathroom at the restaurant. You can snort both but a line of coke is much bigger than a line of heroin.
13:33 its interesting you noticed that Operation and Life board game, It was placed there on purpose because they had to perform and Operation to bring Mia back to Life. Just a little easter egg they planted
He really couldn't take her to the hospital. If he did he'd be arrested and so would she. Not to mention his boss would be aware of the whole thing,mand that would be bad.
Maybe people should have warned you about Quentin Tarantino. He rolls heavy on the violence and carnage.... And he's not afraid to "go there" with his audience
If you guys noticed... The Fox Force 5 story is very similar to the Kill Bill story... Its about a team of female assassins.. Starring of course Uma Thurman...
Its dark humor tho. Youre supposed to laugh. Like after Marcellus just got raped-rape is dark and horrific obviously, but the line "two things- one: dont tell nobody about this" always cracks me up. As does "nahh man... im pretty fuckin far from ok", and Marchellus's little wave as butch leaves even gets a little laugh. Dark humor. Youre not meant to watch it and cry, and mourn dude in the car who got his head blown off & Vince, ect. if u wanna do that Schindler's List would be better
Wrong! The stolen trophy thing is just an urban myth. I used to believe it too.. but it's simply not true. If you listen very closely as Butch is walking to his apartment, going past a window, you'll hear the radio mention Jack Rabbit Slim's, but it's not a news report, just an advertisement.. the trophy isn't mentioned at all. So Vince and Mia won the trophy fair and square.
You two are the cutest couple I have ever seen. I could go on and on about the two of you, but I'll just say this was a great choice of film, and I look forward to more like this in the future. 🤗
I think Pulp Fiction was the first movie that mixed timelines like this. It was genius. My young mind was blown when I watched it in the theater. SJ's performance is another level as well. Fun reaction as always!
I believe the nonlinear structure in film go _at least_ as far back as *Citizen Kane* (1940). 🤷🏼♂️ *Hiroshima mon amour* (1959) first came to mind, but *Citizen Kane* is naturally earlier. I imagine a goo search will come up with more. *EDIT:* Even I find myself forgetting we have a 138 year history of film. 🤯 But I would say only 90-100 years of these films are still available to view.
@@rogersmith5021 No films before Pulp Fiction are actually nonlinear because they ALL have framing stories. Nobody had the guts to make it out of order. There is no film before pulp fiction where the last frame of the film isn't also the last moment of the portrayed time chornologically. People want to underplay Tarantino's genius, so they make up false precedents.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 tarantinos directorial debut, reservoir dogs, was told nonlinearly and actually was the precursor to this movie. its success was what got him picked up for this.
Not exactly a reference you’re right but Tarantino and Uma Thurman did have the character conceived while filming Pulp Fiction but didn’t write the film until a few years later. So ideas of katana wielding was definitely on his mind so it’s not too far off
lol "this was made in 94 .. i did not know they have house cameras then" !!! we have all sorts of things back then, cars, planes, electricity, computers .... :)
Saw this at the matinee screening the day it opened while i was in college. Place was packed at 4:30 in the afternoon. When Vincent was holding the needle over Mia’s chest, i happened to look to my right, and i could see the back of every seat in the theater…whole place literally on the edge of their seat. Never seen anything like that before or since. My friends and i got in the car afterwards, and one of us said “I don’t know what we just watched, but it might have been genius”
That's not De Niro in this one, but he IS in Tarantino's NEXT movie....the fantastic "Jackie Brown", with Samuel Jackson turning in another unbelievable wild performance, plus Pam Grier, Michael Keaton, Chris Tucker, Bridget Fonda, etc. My favorite Tarantino. PLEASE do "Jackie Brown", it's one of Tarantino's best, and you guys will totally like that one!
The heroin wasn't laced with anything, it's just potent. Cocaine is a stimulant, but heroin is an opiate, and Mia did a cocaine-sized line of heroin, which is substantially lethal because it was shutting down her organs, namely her lungs and heart. Mia mistook the heroin for coke because it was in baggie, not a black balloon, because Lance said he was out of them when he sold it to Vincent. This movie was the coolest thing in the world from 1994 to 1996 (until SCREAM dethroned it). I can't begin to describe how pervasively well-known it was, even if you hadn't seen it. There was really nothing like it anywhere and it remains to this day one of my all-time favorites cinematic experiences.
Don’t know if anyone posted it but the waiter in the scene with Mia is Steve Buscemi. He was in reservoir dogs, another Tarantino movie, Fargo, boardwalk empire and so on. Great reaction.
That's John Travolta, whose career was DOA, and then he showed up here as a gangster, some interesting dialogue. And then he hits the dance floor and you remember oh yeah, that's John f'ing Travolta from Saturday Night Fever.
Saying your favorite director of all time is Quentin Tarantino but you haven't seen Pulp Fiction is like saying your favorite director of all time is George Lucas but you haven't seen Star Wars.
the heroin wasn't laced with anything. She was snorting cocaine all night, and thought the heroin in his jacket was more cocaine, but it wasn't, so she snorted way more than you should (and also has no opiate tolerance) so she overdosed.
To answer your question if Marsellus Wallace is the same actor from The Green Mile, that's a negative. He's played by Ving Rhames currently 63 years old. Other credits include: Dawn of The Dead Remake, Day of the Dead Remake, Piranha Remake and The Tournament. Who you're thinking of was Michael Clarke Duncan, who died in 2012 at age 54. Aside from being an Oscar nominee for The Green Mile, his roles were mostly supporting in things such as: Armageddon, The Whole Nine Yards, The Island, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Sin City and The Slammin' Salmon. Also did voice work in animated features like Kung Fu Panda or Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
I love Pulp Fiction and it's still my favourite Tarantino film but I respect Shoshana saying it wasn't her favourite. I like all his films but some of them hit me harder than others and nice to see a reactor's honest opinion rather than just playing to the crowd
When I first saw this film in the theater I had no idea what this was about. I've been a Quentin Tarantino stan ever since. This film was so out there and some of the funniest scenes I've enjoyed. Samuel L Jackson was robbed of the Oscar for this role. He killed it!
I wish after Jules finishes reciting the bible passage at the diner that Vince blows Yolanda away and is like "What? That's the signal! We literally kill everyone after you finish, how was I supposed to know??"
PF is a classic for sure. Tarantino is a great director but I like Noah Hawley better who blends a lot the great directors of the past. FXs “LEGION” is his masterpiece even though his Fargo series has gotten more acclaim
One of my favorite movies of all time I recommend if your confused on the actual order of the story to watch the 13 minute done in chronological order on youtube.
As a kid growing up in the 1960s......I recognized that kangaroo figurine right off the bat. Can't remember if my father owned one.....or if my grandfather did, but I would spend a month or two with my grandparents each summer.
You are right about the adrenaline (epinephrine) shot to the thigh, except that's for allergic anaphylaxis, not opiate overdose. Adrenaline to the heart is for restarting it after it has stopped, and to help the OD victim continue breathing. Nowadays the best bet would be naloxone, usually a nasal spray which treats for opiate OD symptoms much better. You might still first need the adrenaline to restart the heart if it has already stopped.
I couldn't have put my finger on this unless it'd been pointed out to me, but Tatantino's style is very different to what a more regular filmmaker would have done with the same screenplay. His dialogue is like the "before" the regular director would say "action". So it shows the characters NOT specifically talking plot stuff. Look at the discussion with Vincent & Jules near the start. They have a big long conversation ranging from MacDonalds, TV pilots, foot massages etc. The camera follows them all the way to a door, decide they're a minute early, walk off down the hall to carry on a random conversation, the camera stays at the door, they return to the door, THEN get into character. A normal filmmaker would cut ALL of that out, and begin with them at the door. This is a VERY difficult skill. In a movie, EVERY line has to count, and has to do multiple jobs. This is why most dialogue is usually plot related. This is also at the start of his career.
My friend got sent this movie on pirate video before it was released. The quality wasn’t the best so there were moments that seemed a bit iffy. At the end of the movie, my mate said, “I’m not sure if that’s the best movie I’ve ever seen, or the worst.” It came out about a month later and we went watching it at the cinema. Turned out that it was, and is, one of the greatest movies ever made.
Y'all need to check out Goodfellas, Heat, American History X, Casino, A Bronx Tale, Training Day, The Shining. All classics, you won't be disappointed..
Must-see with John Travolta: Operation Broken Arrow, From Paris with Love, Saterday Night Fever, Michael, Staying Alive, The Punisher (2004) Extended Cut, Look Who's Talking, Get Shorty, Be Cool, Grease, Face/Off.
Mia was bangin lines of coke all night but what she found in Vincent's pocket was his heroin and she thought it was coke (oops) and did a big ol rail soooo don't do drugs kids!
You noticed they didn’t reveal Marsellus‘s face for the first couple of scenes with him and that’s because Tarantino wanted to reveal his face to the audience when Butch sees him walking across the street. It was for the audience to share the look of shock with Butch.
I don't really think of this movie as having a "theme", or a moral or point. It's pure spectacle. It's a crazy but credible series of events to showcase the insanity of life.
30:33 I always loved how the bloke who plays Winston Wolf did TV ads for Direct Line, an insurance company here in the UK, for a few years in the 2000’s. He seems like the kind of character who’d know decent insurance when he saw it 😂
This was the last movie my husband went with me till The Elvis Movie that came out last year on our 30th wedding anniversary. Back to this movie my wonderful loving husband Frank a six pack before we got there and passed out snoring lol yes I watched the movie thru
1994 was a great time to be alive: -Pulp Fiction -Forrest Gump -Shawshank Redemption -Dumb and Dumber -Lion King -Mike Tyson -Michael Jordan -Super Nintendo -Tupac v Biggie (east vs west)
The joy you two had watching this reminds me of seeing it in Times Square in 1994 with my gf when we were about your age. As fresh and groundbreaking as it was at the time, it is essentially a filmmaker having old school fun playing the audience like a piano.
it was three days in order except for the flashback to butch's youth and the middle part of the first day at the end. The end of the three-day period was Butch saying "Zed is dead". [1st day case recovery and Mia date at night. 2nd day was the fight butch didn't throw in the fifth. Third day was butch getting his watch back and making the right decision to save Marcelous] My thought is Tarantino had to be wondering what would it be like to live in the world those people lived in and how would one get out of that world? 2 earned their way out.
This movie was my first real introduction to actors like Samuel Jackson or Harvey Keitel. Every scene is top notch in it's own way. My favourite one though is "The Bonnie Situation".

A lot of people miss the fact that the reason Mia overdosed is that she thought the baggie in Vincent's jacket was cocaine. It was heroin.

People want to underplay Tarantino's genius, so they make up false precedents.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 tarantinos directorial debut, reservoir dogs, was told nonlinearly and actually was the precursor to this movie. its success was what got him picked up for this.
25:22 "a Kill Bill reference"...you mean a decade before Kill Bill came out?
Not exactly a reference you’re right but Tarantino and Uma Thurman did have the character conceived while filming Pulp Fiction but didn’t write the film until a few years later. So ideas of katana wielding was definitely on his mind so it’s not too far off
lol "this was made in 94 .. i did not know they have house cameras then" !!! we have all sorts of things back then, cars, planes, electricity, computers .... :)
Saw this at the matinee screening the day it opened while i was in college. Place was packed at 4:30 in the afternoon.
When Vincent was holding the needle over Mia’s chest, i happened to look to my right, and i could see the back of every seat in the theater…whole place literally on the edge of their seat. Never seen anything like that before or since.
My friends and i got in the car afterwards, and one of us said “I don’t know what we just watched, but it might have been genius”
“Do they speak English in what?” 😂
My other favorite Travolta performance has to be Get Shorty. That film is so well-written.
Great reaction! Now you need to see **Jackie Brown** I promise you'll like it more than Pulp Fiction!!
Nobody likes it more than Pulp Fiction and if they do they have bad taste lol
@@nathanlindahl8336 She said she didn't like Pulp Fiction that much, my guess is she's gonna like J.B. better.
That's not De Niro in this one, but he IS in Tarantino's NEXT movie....the fantastic "Jackie Brown", with Samuel Jackson turning in another unbelievable wild performance, plus Pam Grier, Michael Keaton, Chris Tucker, Bridget Fonda, etc. My favorite Tarantino. PLEASE do "Jackie Brown", it's one of Tarantino's best, and you guys will totally like that one!
"Oh my god, what in the kink is going on?" Is one of the best reactions I've seen to this scene. Haha good one.
If you checked the katana blade that Bruce Willis picks up, it's a Hattori Hanzo....
I wonder if the Louisville Butch picked up first belonged to Donnie “The Bear Jew”?
This was great, and y'all are such an adorable couple.
You guys must watch True Romance, written by Tarantino. So good:)
The heroin wasn't laced with anything, it's just potent. Cocaine is a stimulant, but heroin is an opiate, and Mia did a cocaine-sized line of heroin, which is substantially lethal because it was shutting down her organs, namely her lungs and heart. Mia mistook the heroin for coke because it was in baggie, not a black balloon, because Lance said he was out of them when he sold it to Vincent.
This movie was the coolest thing in the world from 1994 to 1996 (until SCREAM dethroned it). I can't begin to describe how pervasively well-known it was, even if you hadn't seen it. There was really nothing like it anywhere and it remains to this day one of my all-time favorites cinematic experiences.
This movie was before Kill Bill. This was the movie where Tarantino and Uma Thurman worked out the premise of Kill Bill...
Don’t know if anyone posted it but the waiter in the scene with Mia is Steve Buscemi. He was in reservoir dogs, another Tarantino movie, Fargo, boardwalk empire and so on. Great reaction.
That's John Travolta, whose career was DOA, and then he showed up here as a gangster, some interesting dialogue. And then he hits the dance floor and you remember oh yeah, that's John f'ing Travolta from Saturday Night Fever.
Eric Stolz was fired from the movie, Back to The Future. He was casted to play, Marty Mc Fly
Kill Bill is the pilot show she did.
From dusk till dawn
Notice that every time Vincent came out of a bathroom, something dramatic happened.
John Travolta is notorious for his dance moves.
this video reminds me of pulp fiction.
Saying your favorite director of all time is Quentin Tarantino but you haven't seen Pulp Fiction is like saying your favorite director of all time is George Lucas but you haven't seen Star Wars.
"a ginger Jesus"! 🤣🤣 I'm ginger so I'm allowed to laugh! 🤣🤣🤣
Great film, great reaction 👋
the heroin wasn't laced with anything. She was snorting cocaine all night, and thought the heroin in his jacket was more cocaine, but it wasn't, so she snorted way more than you should (and also has no opiate tolerance) so she overdosed.
The Wolf was played by Harvey Keitel.
To answer your question if Marsellus Wallace is the same actor from The Green Mile, that's a negative. He's played by Ving Rhames currently 63 years old. Other credits include: Dawn of The Dead Remake, Day of the Dead Remake, Piranha Remake and The Tournament. Who you're thinking of was Michael Clarke Duncan, who died in 2012 at age 54.
Aside from being an Oscar nominee for The Green Mile, his roles were mostly supporting in things such as: Armageddon, The Whole Nine Yards, The Island, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Sin City and The Slammin' Salmon. Also did voice work in animated features like Kung Fu Panda or Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
I always tell people watching Pulp Fiction for the first time: Whatever you think is about to happen... you're wrong.
I'm a ( 50%) My mother W and father B , I like your channel , Big fan of your reactions :) have a great day :)
I love Pulp Fiction and it's still my favourite Tarantino film but I respect Shoshana saying it wasn't her favourite. I like all his films but some of them hit me harder than others and nice to see a reactor's honest opinion rather than just playing to the crowd
When I first saw this film in the theater I had no idea what this was about. I've been a Quentin Tarantino stan ever since. This film was so out there and some of the funniest scenes I've enjoyed. Samuel L Jackson was robbed of the Oscar for this role. He killed it!
I wish after Jules finishes reciting the bible passage at the diner that Vince blows Yolanda away and is like "What? That's the signal! We literally kill everyone after you finish, how was I supposed to know??"
PF is a classic for sure. Tarantino is a great director but I like Noah Hawley better who blends a lot the great directors of the past. FXs “LEGION” is his masterpiece even though his Fargo series has gotten more acclaim
Donnie Brasco is a must watch.
One of my favorite movies of all time I recommend if your confused on the actual order of the story to watch the 13 minute done in chronological order on youtube.
Thanks, Shoshana! Thanks, Vince! ⌚ I was fortunate to see this one in the cinema. #ThePerfectMix #QuentinTarantino #PulpFiction
Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Original Screenplay.
It was unlucky to be up against Forrest Gump (and The Shawshank Redemption) that year in almost every category it was nominated.
oscars mean nothing.
James Cameron has an oscar for best director...Staley Kubrick does not.
As a kid growing up in the 1960s......I recognized that kangaroo figurine right off the bat. Can't remember if my father owned one.....or if my grandfather did, but I would spend a month or two with my grandparents each summer.
It wasn't laced with anything. It was heroin and she thought it was cocaine so she snorted it. You are not supposed to snort heroin.
You are right about the adrenaline (epinephrine) shot to the thigh, except that's for allergic anaphylaxis, not opiate overdose. Adrenaline to the heart is for restarting it after it has stopped, and to help the OD victim continue breathing. Nowadays the best bet would be naloxone, usually a nasal spray which treats for opiate OD symptoms much better. You might still first need the adrenaline to restart the heart if it has already stopped.
We didn't have Narcan back then! This is Adrenaline have to shoot the heart.
She was doing coke all night, Vincent had really strong heroin and it was white instead of beige so she thought it was coke, that's why she overdosed
I couldn't have put my finger on this unless it'd been pointed out to me, but Tatantino's style is very different to what a more regular filmmaker would have done with the same screenplay. His dialogue is like the "before" the regular director would say "action". So it shows the characters NOT specifically talking plot stuff. Look at the discussion with Vincent & Jules near the start. They have a big long conversation ranging from MacDonalds, TV pilots, foot massages etc. The camera follows them all the way to a door, decide they're a minute early, walk off down the hall to carry on a random conversation, the camera stays at the door, they return to the door, THEN get into character. A normal filmmaker would cut ALL of that out, and begin with them at the door. This is a VERY difficult skill. In a movie, EVERY line has to count, and has to do multiple jobs. This is why most dialogue is usually plot related. This is also at the start of his career.
My friend got sent this movie on pirate video before it was released. The quality wasn’t the best so there were moments that seemed a bit iffy. At the end of the movie, my mate said, “I’m not sure if that’s the best movie I’ve ever seen, or the worst.” It came out about a month later and we went watching it at the cinema. Turned out that it was, and is, one of the greatest movies ever made.
Next Tarantino movie: Death Proof
Y'all need to check out Goodfellas, Heat, American History X, Casino, A Bronx Tale, Training Day, The Shining. All classics, you won't be disappointed..
Don't snort heroin kids. Also...don't do heroin.
Bro your laugh is the most joyful intoxicating thing ive heard
The Movie 'The Demon Seed’ was one of the first inspirations for putting camera monitors in homes.
Men ARE grumpy in the morning. The simple solution is to not wake us up until after noon.
I never wake up grumpy!
I let her sleep in.
As I tell people.. "If you wake me before midday, it better be because the house is on fire."
Havent visited y'all's chan in a while. Good to be back! Great reaction to a classic film! You guys' chemistry is awesome!
Funny thing is, Vincent and Mia didnt win the dance-competition.
They stole the trophy, as you can hear in a radio-conversation at one point
The reason why Mia OD'd is because she thought his heroin was cocaine, so she ended up doing a (almost) lethal dose of heroin.
Must-see with John Travolta: Operation Broken Arrow, From Paris with Love, Saterday Night Fever, Michael, Staying Alive, The Punisher (2004) Extended Cut, Look Who's Talking, Get Shorty, Be Cool, Grease, Face/Off.
Mia was bangin lines of coke all night but what she found in Vincent's pocket was his heroin and she thought it was coke (oops) and did a big ol rail soooo don't do drugs kids!
You noticed they didn’t reveal Marsellus‘s face for the first couple of scenes with him and that’s because Tarantino wanted to reveal his face to the audience when Butch sees him walking across the street. It was for the audience to share the look of shock with Butch.
I don't really think of this movie as having a "theme", or a moral or point. It's pure spectacle. It's a crazy but credible series of events to showcase the insanity of life.
This is my favorite movie, so glad to watch you react to it.
Whoa you guys dived into the deep end! This is a wild ride. =P
i gave it a dumbs up before it wven started because this is a great movie
30:33 I always loved how the bloke who plays Winston Wolf did TV ads for Direct Line, an insurance company here in the UK, for a few years in the 2000’s. He seems like the kind of character who’d know decent insurance when he saw it 😂
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤️
Also watch Tarantino's Hateful Eight, Once Upon a time in Hollywood and Inglorious basterds
This was the last movie my husband went with me till The Elvis Movie that came out last year on our 30th wedding anniversary. Back to this movie my wonderful loving husband Frank a six pack before we got there and passed out snoring lol yes I watched the movie thru
9:30, their conversation about the pilot became the inspiration for Kill Bill
1994 was a great time to be alive:
-Pulp Fiction
-Forrest Gump
-Shawshank Redemption
-Dumb and Dumber
-Lion King
-Mike Tyson
-Michael Jordan
-Super Nintendo
-Tupac v Biggie (east vs west)
Had to watch the movie again. Forgotten how impactful and gripping it is!
The joy you two had watching this reminds me of seeing it in Times Square in 1994 with my gf when we were about your age. As fresh and groundbreaking as it was at the time, it is essentially a filmmaker having old school fun playing the audience like a piano.
The movie is from the 90s, but it's deliberately made to look like it might have been made in the 70s.
it was three days in order except for the flashback to butch's youth and the middle part of the first day at the end. The end of the three-day period was Butch saying "Zed is dead". [1st day case recovery and Mia date at night. 2nd day was the fight butch didn't throw in the fifth. Third day was butch getting his watch back and making the right decision to save Marcelous] My thought is Tarantino had to be wondering what would it be like to live in the world those people lived in and how would one get out of that world? 2 earned their way out.
As Always Love Seeing Your Reactions To All These Great Movie's Guy's
This movie was my first real introduction to actors like Samuel Jackson or Harvey Keitel. Every scene is top notch in it's own way. My favourite one though is "The Bonnie Situation".
