Pulp Fiction movie review

Pulp fiction is a film about a 2 mobster hitmen, a mob boss, a mob bosses wife and a boxer. Yeah I know. Somehow, as always Quinten Tarantino makes it work. The thing that really drives this film is the dialogue. This film is written perfectly. It has some of the most memorable speeches and scenes of any movie ever. This film stars John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plumber, Ving Rhames, and Bruce Willis. This has to be one of the best casts ever.
Personally one of the best things about this movie is the way that all the scenes are jumbled up. It is quite fun after to try and think about what scene happend first. Tarantino does a fantastic job of writing the dialogues for this film. There is a lot of talking but it is also very easy to watch. There is also a lot of racial slures even though wrong they are all very well used in the context of the characters. 

Samuel L Jackson is a superb actor at the best of times but in this film he is a genius. The way he plays his character is fantastic and there is not an actor that would have played him better. John Travolta is also very good in this film. The way these two actors pull off the hitmen is fantastic and I really feel that they play off of each other. On the other hand I hated Bruce Willis in this film. I did not hate his acting or they way he played the character, I thought he played the boxer hard man very well. I hated the character (Butch) as a whole. Harvey Keitel is beautiful in this film. He plays 'wolf' so well and is possibly the smoothest character in any film I've seen. I want to be this character so badly. 

The only part of the film that dragged for me was when Bruce Willis and his girlfriend are talking in the hotel. Which is hypocritical as I said the dialogue is superb. I didn't understand why Vincent Vega died when he did. It was left unexplained and I don't like it when a film as complex as this leaves things in explained, especially when a main character is killed. 

This is the only dialogue based film I've seen that I didn't get bored at and I will be quoting this movie for a long time. 

This is by a long way the best film I have ever seen. Please, please, please watch this film. I would rate it 10/10 a true classic.
