Fiction
Continued from Page 9
laughing at.
In “Pulp Fiction,” Tarantino ma
nipulates chronology by intertwining
three separate stories, in which char
acters often appear to come back to
life. Noticing where one story crosses
another becomes part of the fun of the
film.
Two scenes set up the three tales:
A couple of liquor store thieves (Tim
Roth and Amanda Plummer) decide
to make the move up to robbing res
taurants; and two underworld hench
man (John Travolta and Samuel L.
Jackson) arc sent to retrieve a myste
rious briefcase.
In the first tale. “Vincent Vega and
Marscllus Wallace’s Wife,” Vincent
(Travolta) and Mrs. Wallace (Uma
Thurman) are transported to a fan
tasy restaurant called Jack Rabbit
Slim's in the 1950s. Another scene
involves Vincent'trying to revive
Thurman from a drug overdose by
stabbing her with a needle, much to
the delight of those watching.
The second story, “The Good
Watch,” focuses on the tumultuous
situation of a prizefighter named
Butch (Bruce Willis). Butch has been
paid to take a fall in a fight, but in
stead. he wins the fight and tries to
juji from the country. Willis gels side
tracked trying to recover a watch that
is a family heirloom. This segment
includes a disturbing sadomasochistic
scene that Tarantino finds a way to
fit in the film.
The third part of the film, “Jules,
Vincent, Jimmie and the Wolf,” re
turns to the two hit men and adds Mr.
Wolf (Harvey Keitel) and Jimmie
(Quentin Tarantino). Mr. Wolf is ac
tually a Mr. Fix-it-all who shows up
at Jimmie's front door to clean up the
dead body without a head and save
Jimmie's marriage. The film eventu
ally rejoins the two thieves at the be
ginning of the film.
The cast members, who might be
prone to bringing extra baggage to
their roles because of their star sta
tus. avoid that tripwire, thanks to
Tarantino's excellent script. Jackson
turns in an excellent performance as
a Bible-quoting, analytical hit man,
and Thurman is piercing in her role
as Mia Wallaec.
The film creates some graphic,
disturbing images, but it also creates
some compelling plot twists. And the
selection of background music is in
teresting in itself.
The world of “Pulp Fiction” is
made up of people with sensational
lives making irrational decisions in
extreme situations. It's a ’90s film
noir gangster movie that peers in
through The National Enquirer.
