PULP FICTION
Quentin Tarantino
1994, 174´
If you’re a bit of a film geek, you realize how much knowledge about film and love for the work of other greats – and inspiration from them – went into this (Leone, DePalma, Scorsese and, of course, dozens of hyper-stylized Asian gangster flicks), but to those accusing Tarantino of copying or even “stealing” from other film-makers I can only say: There has never been an artist who adored his kind of art that was NOT inspired or influenced by his favorite artists. And if you watch Tarantino’s masterpiece today, it’s impossible not to recognize just what a breath of fresh air it was (still is, actually). Somehow, movies – especially gangster films – never looked quite the same after ‘Pulp Fiction’. Probably the most influential film of the last 20 years, it’s got simply everything: amazing performances (especially Sam Jackson); it features some of the most sizzling, iconic dialogue ever written; it has arguably one of the best non-original soundtracks ever – it’s such a crazy, cool, inspirational ride that you feel dizzy after watching it for the first time. It’s – well: it’s ‘Pulp Fiction’. 10 stars out of 10. (Excerpt by gogoschka-1.)
