Pulp Fiction
John Wilkes Booth once said, "I have too great a soul to die like a criminal." I think that, in a weird way, this quote sums up the main theme of the movie "Pulp Fiction". "Pulp Fiction" is a humorous, suspense-filled, and dramatic film that follows five main individuals involved in shady business. The film shows how, though chance encounters, the characters effect each others’ lives. This film is for a mature audience and deals with the lives of criminals in search of the American dream. Jules and Vincent are two hit men hired by Marcellus Wallace to retrieve a brief case (which is said to contain Marcellus’ soul). After retrieving the briefcase and killing the thief, a man burst out of the bathroom, firing off six round, at point blank range, at Jules and Vincent. Not one shot hits either of the hit men, and while Vincent decides to blow it off as . . .
Later that night, Vincent , at Marcellus’ request, take out Mia to show her a good time. I think that because Jules had a great soul and left his evil ways to find redemption, he did not die like a criminal, like Vincent. Jules thinks it’s a sign from God telling him to go straight. I really enjoyed watching this movie. When Butch finds out that she has forgotten his watch , that hold great sentimental value, he heads back to his apartment, even though he knows it could be dangerous. After killing Vincent and making his redemption with Marcellus, Butch and his girlfriend set off to start a new life. When it comes down to the actual fight, his pride takes over and he ends up killing his opponent. While in the bathroom, Butch sneaks in to his apartment and catches Vincent off guard, and unarmed. a "freak accident", Jules sees it as divine intervention. Yolanda and her husband, who is know as "Pumpkin", are a couple of small time crooks, trying to make a living out of armed robbery, but they bite off more than they can chew when they try to rob Jules. At death Vincent is reduced to a bloody mess. Jules spares them because he sees this as his chance to redeem himself. Butch is a boxer who has, reluctantly, set up a deal with Marcellus to go down in the fifth round of an upcoming fight. Butch makes it back to the hotel where he is meeting with his girlfriend.
