This film was like a jigsaw puzzle made of grit, rhythm, and style lol. Even though some parts were a little tough to sit through (mostly the language and the violence) it's impossible not to appreciate the artistry behind this one. Vince and Mia were my favorites. There was something about their scenes that felt so hypnotic. The way they moved through the world. Almost like floating. Every moment with them felt electric and strangely tender, like danger and charm rolled into one. And Jules? I feel like he is the Fury we would have gotten if Disney didn't own Marvel 🤣 Same power, same intensity, but raw and unfiltered. Every time he opened his mouth, I was locked in. The soundtrack was AMAZING. I've been humming Urge Overkill all night lol. I love when a film appreciates music so much that it becomes the main front and center to keep the vibe going. Tarantino somehow made every song feel like a character, with its own arc and feeling. All in all, I see why this film is so iconic! It's messy, bold, beautifully structured in all of its crazy chaos. It's unapologetically itself. And I love that about it! Even when it made me uncomfortable, I couldn't look away. It's the kind of film that stays with you for a while. Not because it's perfect, but because it knows exactly what it is.

OMG I’ve been literally waiting a week for thisssss!!! I’m glad you’ve officially watched your first Tarantino movie! I can’t wait for some of the other ones like Django and Inglorious Basterds. Absolute Cinema 🎬 💯

The reason Vincent and Mia felt like they were floating through the world, is because both were high AF 😉 Just kidding! Looking forward to watching your Kali! Have a great day!

Russell Rutigliano

I hope the next Quentin Tarantino movie you watch/react to is Reservoir Dogs. I absolutely LOVE that movie! This movie is pretty fucked up and yeah the language and violence is A LOT!

Lemurian Jones

Speaking of Nick Fury, his grave stone in Winter Soldier has a bit from Ezekiel 25:17 on it.

DarthChef

You mentioned it a few times in the commentary, Tarantino knows how to write dialogue. He especially knows how to write conversations between 2 people. He has actually done some non-credited writing for scripts where the filmmakers felt they needed to add a little something to a scene or a piece of dialogue. Can't wait to follow this Quentin Tarantino journey with you.

Awesome movie, my favorite Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson's best career role!

Yup, Pulp Fiction is a little bit of a change-up from Star Wars lol. Too violent for me but I get the fascination with the dialogue and other aspects of his storytelling and unique/eccentric characters. Since there has been just a little bit of noise across the platforms, I thought I might post my view of Kali's channels: Kali has brought into being a symbiotic relationship with her members; reaction videos are one aspect of that but they do not define the whole experience. That is why bugging her for more content is just counting trees and not seeing the beautiful forest. Not singling anyone out here btw. I would guess 99% of us know how hard she works to satisfy both her own needs for this career and her members as well. Thank you Kali.

What a movie! Glad you enjoyed it. This movie was eye opening for me when I saw it as a young teen in the 90s. It was the first time that I really thought about movie making. Before movies to me were about fun and action and the good guys beating the bad guys (just my experience at the time, not talking about all movies.) This movie was not about guessing what comes next (how could you?) It was about experiencing it and living in it. This movie felt both fantastical and real at the same time. I hope you continue your Tarantino journey. This one is probably the hardest to watch (in the reasons that bothered you) but all have their own intensity to them. I would recommend going to Inglorious Basterds (my favorite) or Kill Bill (the most fun) next. Also, there are a lot of theories on what was in Marcellus's briefcase and they never showed the viewers. Do you have any thoughts? It has never been confirmed, so there are no right or wrong answers.

Tarantino films are notoriously foul language filled.

This film is absolute art. The way it's written, the characters, and especially the way the camera work is done - so simple yet so effective. I feel like this is the type of thing they have you watch in film school to see how it's really done haha. I think my favorite part of it is that this story literally could have been told in 90 minutes or less, but it just wouldn't have had any power that way. You called it out too, but I love the slow burn pacing of this movie. Just letting the loooong conversations play out with barely any camera cuts, it really made us live in each individual moment. And I loved it for that! So many great characters, but I think if I had to pick, Jules is my favorite. Samuel L. Jackson just carried so much power through his role. I was clinging on to every word he said. And he did it all with so much style. Makes me really want to see an R rated Nick Fury being the Bad MF we know he can be LOL. Also, Mia and just the way she carries herself is amazing. I couldn't help but hear Fallout Boy's "Uma Thurman" song every time she was dancing here hahaha This was definitely a movie of vibes. Loved the settings, the music and the cars. Any movie that features the legendary NSX (Mr. Wolf's car) becomes an instant A+ for me haha

.

Some people might not like Tarantino's style but its undeniable that the man is really creative and unique. Personally I love his style/movies i'd say my favourite one is either Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds I would really recommend those

Mister Lou

awesome! I can't wait until you get to Jackie Brown and Death Proof (my personal favourites)

Andrew Roach

My personal favorite fan theory I once read about what was inside of Marsellus' briefcase is that he is the Devil, the band aid on the back of his head covers up the 666 that is there and the briefcase contains recent souls he captured. The actual end of the movie is when Butch and his girlfriend drive away on the motorcycle, errr I mean chopper. You don't need polls for Tarantino films, just do the rest in release order spread out as his collection is generally regarded, imo, as must movies to be reacted to.

Robert da Spruce

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tarantino Kali! 😊 A bit of a baptism by fire. And not always easy to watch. But I think probably the best film to start your Tarantino journey. He really is a master at writing dialogue. It never feels disingenuous. Always interesting. It always feels like the character would actually say the words. You never see the hand of the writer in the lines. Looking forward to watching you check some more of his movies! I did notice my copy go out of sync a couple times. Not sure when it happened. Or why. But I did resync a couple times during the film. Not a big deal. Just an FYI

kaliwali

This was an awesome first look at Tarantino!! I can't wait to see more from him. Now I know to expect the language and shock. But wow was this so unique and artistic!

kaliwali

LOL exactly! They were soooo high. But the directing was so well done that I felt like I was floating and under the influence too 😅😂🤣

kaliwali

Ooo I heard Reservoir Dogs is great! I'd love to jump into more Tarantino now that I know what to expect!

kaliwali

I FORGOT TO SHARE MY FUNNY STORY lol I thought of it during the movie but forgot to add it in my outro. Not really that great of a story, but still funny. One time at McDonalds I ordered 2 McDoubles and a sweet tea (back when that totaled 3 dollars lol) and the person read my order back and said McDoooblays. I said McDoubles back just to be sure and they responded with: "Yeah, McDooblays" 😂😅 I laughed about it for a good week

kaliwali

I LOVE THAT. He really is Fury if Disney wasn't involved haha Or maybe Fury was Jules before and that's why his past is so secretive 👀

kaliwali

Absolutely! His dialogue is SO sharp. It never feels forced or expositional, just super flowy and natural and very entertaining. Even when the characters are talking about super random things lol. I didn't know he'd done uncredited work like that! Makes total sense. Really looking forward to more Tarantino films after this one! And I'm also excited to see how his style evolves. Looking forward to the Tarantino journey too!

kaliwali

This made my day! Thank you for the kind words and for seeing the bigger picture of what I'm trying to accomplish here while still making it a space where everyone feels seen/heard/a part of it all! You're right.. Reactions are just one part of it all, but what makes this whole space meaningful is the connection, the conversations and the shared experiences around all of these stories! I will never take that for granted. And that's why I refuse to just pump out content for the sake of getting through bigger titles. As you can tell, I like to feel the art and absorb it in the best I can. It's just how I enjoy consuming content lol. I feel like it's the whole point ✨ And a totally fair and valid take on Pulp Fiction! Not everyone's cup of tea and a definite tone shift from something like Star Wars. The violence can be a lot, for sure. And there were difficult scene in this one for me. But I really appreciate that you're still able to recognize the artistry behind it because YES. I loved it for that feel and vibe! Tarantino's dialogue and characters have a really strange, magnetic pull. Thank you again for your awesomely kind words and support here. I'm grateful every day to be here and I'm glad you see how much love and dedication I put into my work so I can share it with you all!

kaliwali

What a beautiful way to describe it.. yes! The blend of fantastical and real is exactly what made this movie feel super hypnotic. I love how you said it wasn't just about guessing what comes next but experiencing it and being in it because I felt the same way and LOVED it for that. You can feel the heart and craftsmanship in every scene. I can see how this would also be VERY eye opening for a teen in the 90's. It really is unique. I'm glad you brought up the Tarantino roadmap! I've been trying to figure out where to go next. I will most likely put it up in a Tarantino themed poll, but Inglorious Basterds and Kill Bill have been highly recommended so that will be on it, of course! I'm excited to keep this journey going now that I know what to expect and love from Tarantino! As for the briefcase.. I think I said it but my guess is Gold bricks lol. With that glow and the overall shock on people's faces highlighted by the golden glow.. I feel like it's gold lol. But I think it's awesome that there is no real answer hahaha. What do you think??

kaliwali

I veeeery quickly realized this hahaha

kaliwali

I'm 10000% with you that this is pure art. It truly felt like a masterclass in writing and directing! But without ever being overly flashy or self-important. I kept thinking the same exact thing: "This is probably THE movie they show in film school when they're trying to teach character-driven storytelling and tension." Those quiet dialogue scenes were everything. The slow burn, the loooooong takes, the minimal cuts. WOW. I felt like I was actually IN every moment and I loved this movie because of that. Samuel L. Jackson brought soooo much weight to his roles as Jules! And you're so right that every word spoken just hit different. I would LOVE to see him let loose as a full R-rated Nick Fury 😂🤣 And Mia absolutely oooozes sophistication. I love that you brought up "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy!!! I totally forgot about that!! Shoutout for clocking the NSX! That car is pure style honestly and the fact that Mr. Wolf was driving it? Haha yesss! Seriously, everything about this movie was vibes. And I'm really glad you loved it too! I can't remember if this was your first time seeing this or if you had seen it before it won the poll! But I am definitely looking forward to more Tarantino now!

kaliwali

Idk why but the Harry Potter quote from Kingsley came into my mind with your comment. "You can't deny, Dumbledore's got style" 😅😅😂 I really loved his style! I thought it was so unique, artistic and a whole entire vibe. Definitely my kind of movie minus some of the violence, graphic parts and language. But looking beyond that- I loved it because of the vibes, music and incredible dialogue. Really looking forward to more Tarantino in the future now!

kaliwali

Ahh I just mentioned to someone that I might do a Tarantino poll, but I guess release order works too! And VERY interesting take on the briefcase and it's contents 👀 I thought it was just gold bars LOL. But that brings a whole new layer into it. And honestly... adds up? Thanks for sharing!

kaliwali

This was an awesome (somewhat insane) intro to Tarantino! But I'm here for it honestly. Baptism by fire is exactly right lol. This movie was intense and not easy to watch, but I'm already seeing why it's such a great starting point. The dialogue was incredible! So natural and perfectly tailored to each character like you said! You forget that it was even 'written' out and part of a whole script. Thank you for the syncing issues! Not sure why that keeps happening. I do remember taking a bathroom break during this one because I had too much caffeine, so I wonder if I just didn't hit it right on the edit lol. Or maybe my internet buffers sometimes? I do notice the audio will sometimes clip out when I'm watching so maybe my internet struggles and causes a blip/delay. But I'm glad it wasn't too hard to sync back up!

Joe

The theory that always stuck with me about the briefcase is that it is Marcellus’s soul. Mythologically they apparently remove the soul from the back of people’s necks. And he is introduced and frequently shown with a view of the back of his neck and the bandaid he has back there. Maybe he had sold his soul and somehow those kids in the beginning got a hold of it. It’s a crazy idea, but it’s fun to think about. In terms of order to watch, there is no continuity (other than kill bill vol I & II.) so you can watch in any order. I would see another one of his more popular ones (Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bill, or Django) before going to some of the deep cuts (reservoir dogs or Jackie brown.) but I get the idea of seeing his film evolution. A poll probably helps. But I envy (and I am a little scared for you on) the journey of seeing these for the first time.

The Dingo

Ok - time for you to check Nick Fury's tombstone in Winter Solider! This is such a great movie - I recommend Kill Bill as your next venture in to Tarantino's films!

Michael Enos

Remember to go back and watch Reservoir Dogs.. his first flim.. and then before he made that he wrote the screenplay for the film True Romance..which was directed by Tony Scott(Top Gun, The Last Boy Scout).. I recommend both.. then from there tackle the films in release order, post Pulp Fiction.

McShades

Tarantino does like his F bombs and lots of blood. You'll find this in all his films. So be warned. I'd spread his films out so you don't become overloaded with the language and violence. Sadly I used to be like you, but if you watch a lot of films, you'll eventually become numb to the language and violence.

kaliwali

I can see that.. Last year I'd never be able to watch a movie like The Thing and live to see the next day lol. Now look at me 🤣 I agree with spacing films like this out though. Too many back to back sounds too intense

Tarantino's movies do not exist in reality. They are in a warped universe based on reality (very much like the Grand Theft Auto games). Dialogue is Tarantino's strength, and what makes it pop is he offers two characters that are having an argument. This puts the viewer immediately on one side or the other. Yes Jules is correct... you can give your mum an unsexual foot massage, but would Jules give a guy a foot massage ? The theme in this movie is Vincent, and what a screw up he is because he is a heroin addict. Heroin addicts suffer from dreadful constipation. The very first scene we can see Vincent over Hunny Bunny's shoulder off to the toilet, his book Modesty Blaise under his arm. He screws up on the date by allowing Mia access to his drugs. He screws up the hit by shooting Marvin in the face. He screws up the stakeout at Butch's by going to the john whilst Marcellus is out getting coffee and donuts (if Jules was there, Butch would be dead as fried chicken !) So what's in the case ? As this is fantasy land it is hypothesised that whomever looks in the case sees their heart's desire. This film makes me hungry. Big Kahuna Burger does not exist, but that scene ALWAYS makes me want a cheeseburger ! Jack Rabbit Slims should be a multi-national franchise restaurant.. but unfortunately the brand was invented for this movie. I'd eat there all the time ! Why has nobody copied that ? The milkshake choice was Martin & Lewis (white people - vanilla) or Amos 'n Andy (black people - chocolate). $5 in 1994 is approx. $11 today. And by the way it is absolutely impossible to eat food when on cocaine. They did not win the trophy, they stole it according to the lore. As Butch heads to his apartment there is a news broadcast stating the trophy had been stolen. Please consider True Romance written by Tarantino and sold to Tony Scott (Ridley's brother) for $50k which he used to make Reservoir Dogs. This is an ensemble film most similar to Pulp Fiction and contains another magical Walken performance (my fave actor). More Travolta ; Broken Arrow - action from Chinese action maestro John Woo with Christian Slater as a pilot trying to recover nukes from his crashed plane Swordfish - wildly OTT 90s thriller with Hugh Jackman as a hacker in a bizarre heist movie
