A CRIME CULT: PULP FICTION

Hello to all our readers!! As a brand-new movie blog, it's time to post our first review. It's going to be about "Pulp Fiction", a 1994 film directed by Quentin Tarantino.
The movie's two main characters are Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), two serial-killers who act as the errand-boys of Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), a black mob kingpin who has become infamous because of the rumours about what he has done to a man who hitted on his wife, Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) who is a cocain addict.
Apart from the story of Vincent and Jules, meanwhile, another story is going on; in which Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis), an aging boxer whom is paid a big sum of money by Marsellus Wallace to lose a match, is the main character. At first, Butch agrees to take a dive in the match and accepts the money but afterwards, he suddenly remembers the old days and those days remind him of the honour he's got deep down. Not doing what Wallace told him to, Butch comes across with Marsellus. In the end, Butch ends up killing Vincent Vega, Marsellus's hitman, but somehow he manages to make peace with Marsellus.
Just like all the other Tarantino movies, "Pulp Fiction" has many humorous and ironic dialogues mixed up with violence. That can be a thing which helped the movie become a classic. Besides being a crime classic, the movie was nominated for 7 Oscars and won "The Best Picture Award" in Cannes Film Festival. Moreover, the movie is also well-known as the movie which revitalized the career of John Travolta. The movie is fifth in the IMDB list and ninth in the Empire list of best movies ever. Furthermore, one of the main songs of the movie is "Girl, You'll be A Woman Soon" which is a great song by Neil Diamond.
In conclusion, if you want to see a movie which is both humorous and full of action, this is the one for you. I suggest you watch this as soon as possible (for the ones who haven't watched yet).
Here is the trailer of the movie for you guys to make an idea of what the film is like:

I just want to say just one word " Perfect " . Because I really like to watch Quentin Tarantino's movies but you used your information with your ideas and that sounds like me , I have to watch this movie. You wrote little bit long but that's okay because you didn't write any unnecessary things.
