This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Lost count of how many times I have seen it, but over 20 times at least. Every time I enjoy other parts of this story, because there is so much to be liked. First of all: for all those who have never seen it, there is just one advice: stop reading my review and just watch the darn thing! I mean really, not having seen "Pulp Fiction" equates to not ever having seen a rainbow. You havent lived without at least seeing a rainbow once, and for that matter if you are a movie lover, you havent lived either without at least seeing "Pulp Fiction" once. The violence in this Tarantino flick is very subdued, nobody will get horrified by it. Come to think of it, "Pulp Fiction" is the nicest movie of the entire carreer of Tarantino, in which one gangster, who is into the lord, even pledges to abolish all violence, after he witnessed "a divine intervention".What's the story about? Tricky question. Tarantino got an oscar for this story and the reason why is obvious, because "Pulp Fiction" is without a doubt the most intelligent story in decades. Just experience it and you'll understand. This story structure has been copied by many other directors since, but almost all of them have failed at it. It is not a trick, that can be copied, because Tarantino does it in a way only he can. The succes of this movie is amazing. World wide it broke all records back in the nineties. It would have gotten best picture oscar if it werent for the fact that Tarantino was too young and wasnt a household name yet back then. Almost unthinkable nowadays, but it is true, even Tarantino once was fighting unemployment, struggling to get by with a job at a videostore, in which he truly found his niche by the way, because Tarantino is a walking and talking movie encyclopedia. I just enjoy hearing the man talking about movies, but there is something strange with Tarantino's favorite movies, because he likes pulp. The true definition of pulp is stated at the very beginning of "Pulp Fiction" and it says: " Pulp is a magazine or book containing lurid subject matter and being characteristically printed on rough, unfinished paper". Quentin Tarantino has told in interviews that in his younger years he read those a lot and many great writers have contributed to these pulp magazines at the start of their carreer. Whatever impact these stories have had on Tarantino he sure has got the talent to tell stories like no other director can. It is almost as if you are watching a theatre play sometimes. And making theatre plays is the future for Tarantino, because he had said he will only make 10 pictures in his life and then he will quit making them. That is a bold statement made out of love for movies, because he knows and everybody else knows that every artist has only got a small period in his life in which he truly excells and makes classics that will stand the test of time. "Pulp Fiction" is such a classic and you are about to see it for the very first time. Lucky you!

This movie is the one you can watch over and over and over and over and over! Awesome! The characters, one liners, scenes, music etc etc. This movie needs no more critical reviews, and i'm not a film critic.
