“ Pulp FIction” refers to the “Pulps” from the early 1900’s through the 1950’s There were pulp magazines that published short storied and a certain style of novels that were also known as “Pulp” Back in thee olden days, there were much stronger biases and separation of class in the arts and literature. There was what was seen as “respectable” literature. And then what was seen as not “respectable” or of high art. The pulps. Which were more lurid tales, heightened and melodramatic, often sensationalized and more violent and or sexualized. Back then this type of material wasn’t seen as high literature or art of a serious nature. It was generally regarded as more “trashy” literature. Though now so many iconic authors and culturally ionic stories and characters came out of the pulps. A noir author, Raymond Chandler, who influenced so many and a whole style of dark, violent crime and detective stories. There was a pulp magazine called “Weird Tales” This magazine published short stories of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. It was in this magazine that the character Conan the Barbarian was introduced by legendary author Robert E Howard. This was in the early 1930s. Robert E Howard was writing this high fantasy, sword and sorcery here long before even Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings or even The Hobbit. And of course it was the character of Conan that gave Arnold Schwarzenegger his launch into iconic movie stardom. In this same magazine, “Weird Tales” the horror author, H.P. Lovecraft was published. He is one of the most legendary horror writers of all time. He influenced countless horror storytellers in fiction and film. He created a whole Cthulhu mythology that is still storing to this day. First published in this pulp magazine “Weird Tales” Long winded answer but I’d rather you actually understood what the title meant and referred to since you asked. Tarantino is basically created a kind of anthology of various lurid violent and sometimes sexualized (and not always in a good way) 😮 tales of fiction. “Pulp Fiction”

And you have seen Uma Thurman in a movie before. Uma Thurman played the Goddess Venus in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen She was the one who emerges from a giant clamshell naked, like in the class painting.

Gary Mackley-Smith

Great reactions. Now you need to watch Jackie Brown.

Robert Jewell

Pulp Fiction refers to a kind of literature really popular in the 1940s and'50s which were basically trashy paperback detective stories or murder mysteries or sordid romance that were full of sex and violence and steamy cover art with titles like She Killed Him with Her Love or Death by Garter Strap. The suitcase with the shiny glow inside is just a homage reference to the '50s film Kiss Me Deadly also based on a pulp novel. QT often likes to display his broad knowledge of movies in his own films. Great reaction.

The Wolf is my favorite character

Louis Marzullo

Thanks for going the extra mile to get this one up, guys! Feel better soon!

I did not wait for this edit. I sat with Dawn for 2+ hours on Saturday night and watched the full version. It was just like we were in the same room, and it broke my heart to watch the poor girl suffer with her current condition during the parts that are not seen on YT. The things she goes through for us.

Louis Marzullo

Mr. Richard Stokes, ready when you are for the "Honey Bunny" monologue analysis! 🕵️

Richard Stokes

So the thing I spotted (that I was talking about before) is that the words that Honey Bunny shouts in the restaurant changes the second time we hear it. In Dawn's edit you can compare them as she has shown both times you hear the speech. You could say it's a continuity error but I don't think so. I think Tarantino was dropping a hint about his philosophy and the plights of the various characters particularly Jules. I'll write out what I think their plight means when I've a got a minute a it could be a bit of a long one!

Dawn, as they walk into Jackrabbit Slim's, the song that plays is "Waitin' In School" by Ricky Nelson (from Rio Bravo)

Wow, so many differences between the two versions! The words she uses but also the first time she's holding the gun with one hand & her threat is issued in a much more commanding, self-assured & louder voice. The second time she's got both hands on the gun & her tone is much less confident, her voice almost quavering & softer. Looking forward to your interpretation!

So I wrote the actual dissertation in one go over a manic 6 hour stretch and lost my copy of it years ago. So this half remembered. It was a Marxist postmodern take on it. Adorno and horkheimers 'dialectic of enlightenment' and Frederic Jameson both make the point that the cultural products produced have no diversity as they reflect some kind of hidden authoritarian monopoly. Jameson says everything was invented in terms of styles and genres in music, film an a long time ago and the capitalist system in our age forces us to just create tweaked and rehashed versions and pass them off as new- all very pessimistic. Jameson referred to it as something like ' the reheating if dead forms'. A gangster film is a genre film and therefore a reheated dead form that had relevance to the moment it was created but now is full of cliches and tropes that don't reflect reality anymore. Tarantino is the ultimate postmodern director/writer as he loves all Americana and constantly pays homage through pastiche of the films and genres he loved- particularly film noir, gangster movies and others. Knowing them so well he knowingly subverts these genres and characters. You think you know where things are going according to genre rules then chaos as they break free. Jules and Vince being chatty funny and philosophical, and Jules unexpected conversion to 'being the shephard' are examples of this. This is where new life is breathed into dead genre forms. The characters are all worried about what's going to happen to them as they know they are in a criminal underworld. We are worried for them as we know in a sense they are trapped in identities issued out by the genre ie the gang boss, boxer, the hitman etc. Bad stuff is constantly happening in that world and they are constantly accumulating karma. When Jules talks of God, in one sense he is talking to the script writer Tarantino, showing remorse and pleading for redemption claiming since his moment of clarity he is a changed man. He is surrendering to his God, who keeps him safe via the 'miracle'. I argued that lifting the briefcase to see 'the light' is the light of gnostic knowledge of who he is trapped in his life, in the criminal underworld/gangster genre film. I think it's also a visual representation of Jules 'moment if clarity' that sets him free from his old self and his old life. We know the typical outcomes for ganger characters. The bad guys most invested in doing bad stuff die. Vincent sees the light of the suitcase and still won't acknowledge the light it the idea of changing himself or his fate. He won't acknowledge the miracle of not getting shot. So he gets killed. Bruce Willis wants to get out and does. Jules changing his character changes his 'genre karma( new phrase I just made up) and he is kept safe by fate. The film is in a loop from where it splits at the start and reviews the goings on and issues out the fates of the characters in line with how invested they are in their identities in this criminal world. I argued that Tarantino was identifying himself as Jules who is trying 'real hard to be the shephard' by rejecting the creatively bankrupt way of reheating the dead forms of the same old genre films and tropes that are unchanging dead scripts where nothing new or original can happen, that you watch with boredom as a result. Honeybunny's speech changes to give an indication to Jules that miracles and change is possible if you try to better yourself in a spiritual humane way. It also shows Tarantino is arguing you can make a living thing out of old dead cultural artifacts to convey a message and this self reflexive nature of the film itself is just playfully suggesting the film has it's agency and autonomy and therefore a spark of originality and life as a cultural product ( honeybunny's changed speech illustrating that). I argued that this was a new kind of postmodern artform (but that might be pushing it a bit). I hope that makes some sense in parts at least, it was argued better when I originally wrote it, but you get the gist!

Richard Stokes

Ok it's up, honey bunny's speech basically is Tarantino saying change and subversion of genres styles and tropes is possible if you do it right

Richard Stokes
>>141667473

Her softening fits with Jules softening in his spiritual journey, like her threat is melting away because his fate is now protected (see long rambling analysis!)

Louis Marzullo
>>141667473

Thank you, Richard, for sharing the fruits of your labor. Merits at least a few more readings! Question: Since Ringo seemed to be instantly converted away from the dark side by the contents of the briefcase, do you think that influenced Jules moreso than Yolanda's changed speech? I guess it can be both/and, like after seeing the beatific expression on Ringo's face, Jules is 100% certain of his choice?

Richard Stokes
>>141667473

I'd say it all seems to confirm it for Jules but then he already looks firm in his beliefs at this point

Elliot Nesterman

As to why such inexpensive, fiction magazines were called "pulps:" they were printed on cheap paper made from wood pulp, in contrast to higher quality magazines printed on coated, glossy paper.

john ruddick

The suit case is a reference to another film called, "Repo man". Another one for the list!

Richard Stokes
>>141667473

Another way of looking at the dead forms of art thing is free will (alive with possibility) Vs determinism (dead as we have no agency so meaning in our lives and actions is lost along with real free choice, like the ultimate end of a unsubverted genre film it's already predecided what's going to happen). I think also Jules and Neo's path in the matrix are very similar. Both are breaking free from a fake dead world and an old identity to find a more real authentic one

resinmonkey .

Christopher Walken explaining what happened to the watch to a little boy cracks me up every time. WAY TOO MUCH ASS HIDING, Chris. As for the briefcase , Hitchcock called such plot devices a "Macguffin". In fiction, a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself.

Dawn, ALL Tarantino movies should be watched in bare feet.....-.Just sayin' 🤔🤭

Louis Marzullo

Some hi-lites: Dawn gasping "Really?" when Jules brags about his foot-massaging prowess 😄 Reaction to "Fox Force Five", especially "Uh-huh" with the eye-roll 😂 "I could sell milkshakes for ten pounds & get away with it". Yeah, I think they could be made from raw sewage & you'd get away with it!! 🤣 (Not that you'd ever do that!)

She's a very sweet young woman with a hilarious sense of humor. I'm still on the fence about the whole genius thing 😂

james flack

I can see it now....."Dawn's Dairy Bar and Foot Massage Parlor ". Most amazin' shop ever.......😀

In the brief case... Marsellus Wallace's soul.
