Pulp Fiction had one of the best casts you'll ever have the privilege to see. It brought John Travolta back from the dead. It had been a while since we'd seen him in a mainstream-blockbuster movie, since his days of Grease and Saturday Night Fever. But this Oscar-nominated (Best Actor) role as low-rent hitman Vincent Vega reestablished him as a superstar. He was paired with Samuel L. Jackson, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, as Jules Winnfield, to do the dirty work for their boss Marcellus Wallace (Ving Rhames). Travolta and Jackson have chemistry so phenomenal, so electric its as if they were two real life, long time friends. The casting of the entire movie was perfect. Bruce Willis plays a fame-craving, action-loving boxer who refuses to throw a fight. Uma Thurman plays Mia Wallace, Marcellus' wife, who takes a liking to Vincent after he takes her out one night. It involves many of Quentin Tarantino's boyhood dreams; torture, murder, comedic action, and if not for its release in 1994, and the better films it was up against, for instance The Shawshank Redemption and the sensational blockbuster Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction would have been the favorite for Best Picture in my mind. But all it came out with was Best Original Screenplay. Even so, it is still regarded as a new classic in America Cinema. And rightfully so. My grade:100/100. |
