TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Hey guys, I just watched Pulp Fiction for the first time the other night. I absolutely loved it, but I didn't get the Bruce Willis part in the middle, where he kills Travolta. Is that supposed to be in the future, like after the ending where they leave the diner or something? Since Sam Jackson wasn't with him, and he talked about giving up "the life" I figured that could be it. Anything to clear this up for me would be very appreciated. I don't know who's seen it and who hasn't, and what is considered a 'spoiler' and what isnt, so I threw those tags up just in case.
AmericanDragon Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Butch and Fabienne driving off on Zed's bike is chronologically the end of the movie.
bob_barron Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Jules retired so Vincent and Marsallus went to go kill Butch. That part takes place after the diner scene. AD is right- the last scene chronologically is them driving off in the chopper. In Saudi Arabia and UAE, the movie is shown chronologically.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Saudi Arabia and UAE, the movie is shown chronologically. Movies taken out of chronological order must be offensive to them.
Youth N Asia Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 The movie starts with Vinnie and Jules going to the apartment where Marvin's at...then the do the bit at Jimmy's house with the car clean up...then the scene at the resturant...then where they get back to see Marsallus...that's pretty much where Jules ends...then it's the date...then the fight...then it's Vinnie getting gunned down. That's pretty much Vincent's story...I think that's right
kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 23, 2005 Report Posted March 23, 2005 Saudi Arabia and UAE, the movie is shown chronologically. Movies taken out of chronological order must be offensive to them. No, but it pisses off Allah...
Special K Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Yeah, remember when we first see Bruce Willis? Marcellus is talking to him about throwing the fight, while the hitmen are in their goofy post-cleanup duds.
Modern Man's Hustle Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 The story's told in a non-linear format. While most stories follow the exposition -> rising action -> climax -> falling action -> resolution formula, all of Tarantino's films are told in a nonlinear way. Makes it so that you actually have to pay attention.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I haven't seen this movie in about 3 months, which is far too long.
bob_barron Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I saw the movie last month- people hate watching it with me now b/c I can recite the dialogue
Nighthawk Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 This thread was a charming example of people repeating information which was already given. I thought about getting one of those wallets, but I said "Nah, too typical." so I got one that said 'Tight As Fuck' instead. From the same place, though.
Modern Man's Hustle Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 This thread was a charming example of people repeating information which was already given. Yeah, except my answer was better.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Which is the wallet you guys are talking about...?
Guest Askewniverse Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 The one that says "Bad Mother Fucker" on it.
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Saudi Arabia and UAE, the movie is shown chronologically. Movies taken out of chronological order must be offensive to them. No, but it pisses off Allah... eh, what doesn't
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Jihad. maybe, but then what happens when the jihad fails? thats right, angry angry allah allah needs to get laid
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 So what was in the case? same thing that was in the box...
Guest JohnnySwift Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Does anyone know what exactly was in the briefcase that Jules and Vincent found in Brad's apartment?
LatinAssasin Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Tarantino said in an interview that he never really thought that out. He wanted people to make their own assumptions.
bob_barron Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Marsellus' soul. It's whatever you want it to be
Hank Kingsley Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 But the soul is the most intriguing possibility.
Guest MikeSC Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Saudi Arabia and UAE, the movie is shown chronologically. Movies taken out of chronological order must be offensive to them. Keep your blasphemous non-sequential story-telling to yourself, imperialist devil! -=Mike
razazteca Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 But the soul is the most intriguing possibility. So people who cut themselves shaving lose their soul.....that must explain why Goldberg was terrible in the ring.
