Twenty years after the "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or, Quentin appeared in a commemorative screening on the beach in Cannes. He was greeted by a tsunami full of sand pit believers. The whole scene was like a concert, and Quentin acted like a rock star: In the face of those fans who dared to raise their hands and admit that they had not seen "Pulp Fiction", Quentin scolded and scolded: "Loser~ Ten years, why have you all gone?!"-When you say "Loser", you must do the same as Quentin, and prolong the vowels.
To be an undeveloped movie fan, "Pulp Fiction" is indeed a movie written on the first page of the introductory manual. Today, its perfect "ring structure" is still a compulsory course to improve the level of viewing: this "perfection" is not only reflected in the Mobius circle connection between several stories in the narrative structure, but also in each A circle from the perspective of a character's identity-fierce robbers will become rescued, and the elders of the underworld will burst into flames. The awesomeness at this time and the foolishness at that time are connected with each other and cause and effect.
The structure of "Pulp Fiction" is so exquisite that it is contrived, but the audience is completely unaware of it. Quentin relies on the seemingly lengthy but humorous talk of all the characters. In this regard, the genius Quentin is like a god, the character's sense of fate is so strong, and a lot of it is filled with boring and interesting garbage time. Regardless of high or low, people probably don't have too much difference. In the midst of tossing with absurdity and joy, tragically and reluctantly ushered in the written fate. My best impression of "Pulp Fiction" is this. I always thought that you were not serious enough, and finally I found that you were sincere.
Sometimes it is not clear whether the film is a refinement of life, or whether life is a parody of the film. Before "Pulp Fiction", too many commercial works left a stereotype. We obsessed that the gunfight was bound to be bloody, but we forgot to kill people but nodded and shit was the big thing. We believe in the ruthlessness of gangs, but forget that they will also be cowardly, confused, and superstitious about fate. Faced with a corpse, yes, sometimes they are more worried about getting into trouble, and my wife and I are going to divorce. "Pulp Fiction" almost turned out of the audience's common sense of watching movies at almost every corner of the plot, but it turned into the absurdity of daily life itself.
Quentin sits with traditional Hollywood commercial films, and is different from the new wave predecessors who have a sense of intellectual mission. The Jews said: "When human beings think, God laughs", Quentin's solution is: "Then we Let’s just start laughing.”
Since Quentin’s first film "The Dog in the Falling Water", his film appearance does not talk about meaning, his lines and tunes are full of curiosity, mischief, and bizarre arguments, but his three views of justice are buried in the film. . Those who are interested naturally understand, do you still remember the bible that Samuel Jackson never forgot in "Pulp Fiction"? The book of "Ezekiel" says "the way of the righteous is surrounded by selfish and tyrannical people". Twenty years later, when Samuel Jackson played the role of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in "Captain America 2", the epitaph printed on the tombstone was "The path of the righteous man".
Quentin may not have thought that he was disdainful all the way, advancing with the corpse of classic movie routines, but because of the ridicule, he was so serious and careful, and finally made "Pulp Fiction" a member of the classic movie. Quentin repeatedly emphasized in his subsequent works: It is ridiculous to talk to you about life in a serious manner, because the world also uses everything as a dog. We are exploring the principles of life, and God has not designed human beings according to common sense. The only joy in life is to laugh at life. itself.
So let’s go back to the question asked by the rock star Quentin at Cannes Beach, "Loser, what the hell have you done for more than 20 years?" Looking for the meaning of life, or looking for the joy of life? Take a look at "Pulp Fiction". It gave the answer twenty years ago. Life is similar to movies: meaning is not always interesting, but interesting must be meaningful.
