The script and structure of the film
Tarantino has used a non-linear timeline before, but perfected this style in Pulp Fiction ! Juggling multiple storylines and plots, Tarantino never lets you get bored watching the movie. If you've seen the movie, you can't help but agree.
In addition to the structure, the script is simply a masterpiece. You watch hilarious discussions about pop culture that balance in a special way with the bizarre violence in the film. Tarantino even won an Oscar for best original screenplay in '94 with Pulp Fiction !
Fun fact: did you know that the F word was used 255 times during the movie?
The cast and the great acting
 |
Tarantino's most underrated skill as a director is arguably his casting. Pulp Fiction is at its best when Tarantino pairs up two actors and lets them do their thing. The best example, of course, is the brilliant combination of Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta as a pair of buddy hitmen. If you are still looking for a unique Pulp Fiction poster and you are a fan of this duo, then this poster is for you! |

With other characters, he achieved the same astonishing success. Pairing Travolta and Uma Thurman for that unforgettable dance scene at Jack Rabbit Slim's for example! It was a great moment that you can even immortalize: we have a Pulp Fiction poster of this iconic dance scene. Shop the poster here ! |
Last but not least, bringing Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames together in an infernal store basement or making Amanda Plummer's and Tim Roth's scream their love in a restaurant stick-up was also memorable.
The Pulp Fiction poster is iconic
The In short, Pulp Fiction poster is fierce, punchy and catchy. The contrasting yellows and reds are sure to draw attention and the poster cleverly depicts a classic pulp magazine, rather than highlighting a particular part of the film.
Pulp magazines, published between 1896 and the 1950s, were cheap publications with a bit of a rough side. The Pulp Fiction poster perfectly recreates the pulp design while also focusing on the character of Uma Thurman, who became a pop icon after the film's release!
Pulp Fiction is Tarantino's most daring film
Thematically, plot-wise, and character-wise, Pulp Fiction is the most risk-taking film of Quentin Tarantino's entire career. The film starts at the end and works back to the beginning, all seen through multiple points of view. With humor, suspense (you held your breath for that overdose scene anyway) and many other bizarre moments, Pulp Fiction has to be one of the weirdest, most daring films ever. It's a film that takes risks and never apologizes for it!
Pulp Fiction has the most unexpected twists
Pulp Fiction is full of twists and turns that you never saw coming. Take, for example, Mia overdosed on Vincent's heroin, Butch and Marsellus being tied up in a basement to become sex slaves, or Vincent suddenly shooting Marvin in the face. Every time you think you can guess where a storyline is going, it takes a wildly unpredictable turn in a completely different direction.
