The Fullness of Characters in Pulp Fiction

Just finished watching this movie and wanted to talk about the characterization of this movie from a non-professional perspective.

The narrative structure is ingenious. I think such a multi-angle narration is the director's desire to break the time limit in a short time span to fill the character's image as much as possible. Many split-shot movies are rough on the characters in order to achieve the delicate plot design, but this movie is special in that it focuses on the most daily dialogue between the characters, and these dialogues are largely not. For the sake of plot promotion, this allows the viewer to observe these flesh-and-blood images very closely, at least after I watched the whole movie, several main characters were able to stand up.

Give a few examples. For example, the part where Vincent and Jules discussed the name of the hamburger in the car, which completely broke the stereotype of the underworld and let me see the cuteness of their ordinary identity, on the other hand, it also showed their calmness , from Hamburg to the hapless guy doing the massage, I couldn't even guess the purpose of their visit until the door opened.

Another example is the scene of the boxer and his girlfriend. I didn't feel the two of them were worried about their situation at all. The two people who were obviously desperate gave me a state of being at home, and I still ate very easily the next day. breakfast. All I can say is, could this be a real state, but the rhythm of most of the movies is so tight that I've been worried that the person chasing may rush in at any time when they are lingering? This movie gave me a lot of surprises at this point.

Let me talk about the three-dimensional images of some of the main characters in the movie.

Vincent, I think it is a more realistic portrayal of the underworld boy. The part of him and mia I felt was an honest, mild-mannered, slightly cowardly image, including his self-demand for loyalty in the middle. And a later conversation with Mr. Waugh showed me his thirst for dignity, because he emphasized the "stubbornness" of the latter when he spoke with a plz. In me, the image of a self-respecting but timid little brother stood up. Including putting the gun in the back to go to the toilet, and the obvious behavior of receiving a lunch box, I think Quentin has developed a role in another movie to the audience here, and I am personally very happy to watch it.

Boxer, an image that I quite like. Many people directly regard him as a positive character, but don't forget that he is the one who breached the contract and killed his opponent, but the movie didn't focus on this. A few details can stand up to me. First, his attitude towards his girlfriend. It can be seen that the girlfriend is a simple and innocent girl character. From the beginning, she has a big belly, and she watches TV and eats muffins in the next morning. And the boxer can feel that he is very gentle to this girl, and he is working hard to take care of this beloved girlfriend. Because knowing that the watch is very important to the boxer, after learning that the girl forgot to put it on, the boxer was able to calm down immediately after he was so angry that he smashed the TV and said it was not the girl's fault , and then even gave the girl money for breakfast and said in an apologetic tone that she couldn't accompany her to have breakfast, until she got in the car and scolded the girl when she was not in front of the girl. You know, the watch that a boxer can risk his life to get is only Because of the girl's negligence, she didn't bring it on. It was a situation where anyone could explode in place, but the boxer endured it. Including the fact that the boxer's tone of urging the girl to leave was a little hasty after returning safely, and the boxer immediately softened his tone when the girl showed fear, and the boxer's image of a good man stood up. Another point, the boxer chose to kill him after escaping the two gay guys and did not kill the boss to avoid future troubles. It can be seen that he is a person who preaches the rules and the boss didn't move him but just drove him out of Los Angeles. You can see the two The way a wise man behaves.

I'll talk about it later, just one more Joss, and I wrote it in the middle of the night before I knew it.
