"Pulp Fiction" uses music to think about killing games

Quentin's second work "Pulp Fiction" is an iconic work that strengthens Quentin's style, extends experience and exploration vertically and horizontally, and carries forward it. Playing movies from multiple angles, he continues to learn from others, develops and innovates, and upholds the spirit of "students live, like people die", and consolidated his non-fingerprint strength. After successfully experimenting with the symbiosis of violence and philosophy in "Falling Water Dog", "Pulp Fiction" tried a complicated and orderly pattern structure, thoroughly borrowed from it, and imitated it generously. Of course, the evil and justice of violence, the variation of human nature and the original ecology, The hypocrisy and cruelty of society, the use of large and large lines, the characteristics are still being continued. Speaking of lines, there is really a need for careful scrutiny. A pile of seemingly lengthy and complicated nonsense, but like a hook in the words, there is a subtle contradiction or echoing relationship between identity and the way and content of the conversation, which can always be sent in the next scene, between different sections unexpected surprise. The time limit, the spatial dimension, the shooting angle, the saturation of the characters and the depth of the subject all have Quentin's strong personal style. In two days, several independent but related stories neatly showed the cruel life that may actually exist. The little pumpkin and the white rabbit rob; Vincent and Jules perform the killing mission and leave the classic Bible monologue before the murder; the story of Vincent and Martha's wife Miya; the gold watch and Butch and Martha The grievances; Mr. Wolf, Bonnie's story, etc. The intertwined character events are arranged into an interesting series of unique characteristics between necessity and accident. Treating women kindly is another striking theme of the show. In "Falling Water Dog", except for the "just like a virgin" which was introduced by Ms. Mai at the beginning, it was later the internal affairs of the men's son. In "Pulp Fiction," the men who beat the world are finally dead, wounded, fleeing, repenting, washing their hands, washing hands, a scene of defeat. Women are different. They are "cared for" by Quentin in different ways and to varying degrees, and they are all "strict in wife". When Butch drove Harley to pick up a woman, the little girl was so tempestuous that I was so anxious to death. After a long time, two bullets in the back of his head, the dreams of desperate world are all gone. The last words Mr. Wolf said to beauties about "no respectability" and about educating young people were all addressed to Vincent and Jules, referring to Sang Huai, and the boys didn't follow the rules. I forgot to mention that the part where Mi Ya and Vincent danced are of course the classics. Costumes, hairstyles, music, dances, etc., whether it is Quentin’s mastering of the artistic means of specific symbols that can resonate with the senses, or paying tribute to the older generations of other movies, or picking the flowers blooming in the artistic souls of their predecessors, like Japanese ones. Flower arranging art, another development, another re-creation, in short, these all prove one point, he has a more popular artistic appreciation, which revealed his talent to become a profitable director in the end. In addition to the plot and the story itself, the soundtrack of the movie is also a video prop that Quentin makes perfect use. In the original soundtrack album, the music, classic dialogue, and lines are mixed, and they have a unique personal impression. The key is that in the ingenuity and fun that it closely blends with the plot, the black humor becomes more perceptual under the catalysis of music, and I have to applaud Quentin's clever head. The most impressive thing for me is definitely the classic music "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" that matches the plot when filming Uma Thurman and John Travota. The soundtrack of the movie is A cover of Neil Diamond by the U.S. underground anti-mainstream rock band Urge Overkill. I first understood and liked this song because it was recommended by Haishi many years ago. Neil diamond, which is almost rare, was a popular superstar in Hollywood in the 70s and 80s, and his personal charm is known for his elegance and gentleman. From the 1960s to the 21st century, this man of Russian and Polish Jewish descent grew up as a pivotal singing artist in Hollywood. Jazz, blues, folk, rock and other musical elements exude a steady and affectionate charm in his music. American Idol also set up a special stage for him to choose and sing. Of course, now this veteran singer has become my super idol. (Regarding the content of Neil diamond, please ignore it.) Let me introduce two more songs. One of them is "Let's Stay Together" sung by Al Green, one of the greatest figures in the history of American soul music. This classic song appears at the beginning of the third story. The camera is fixed on Bruce Willie's facial expression, with a voice-over: Martha's brainwashing speech to the boxer. The selection of the song is very exciting, in the lyrics "loving you whether. whether. times are good or bad. happy or sad...
