I love this movie.

Groovy Reacts

I think you might like Kill Bill a little more. It has a character you can root for and get behind. Whatever you do, skip Reservoir Dogs. There is a scene in that one this is brutal and disturbing.

Brian Harris

The thing I think a lot of people miss about this movie is that it’s actually almost entirely about the concept of fate and divine intervention - Vincent and Mia are saved from a cataclysmic love affair that might have left them both dead if she hadn’t OD’d; Marsellus would have killed Butch, or Butch would have gone to jail for killing Marsellus and eventually been murdered himself by Marsellus’s people if he hadn’t run into that pawn shop; the Wolf is divine intervention personified; and then Jules takes up the mantle himself when he spares Ringo and Yolanda because of the earlier intervention that got him thinking about his path. Not for nothing, but I think the characterizations and performances here are unmatched by anything QT has done since. I’m not a huge fan of the Butch story, they could have cut it and I’d never have missed it, but Mia and Vincent, Vincent and Jules, and Ringo and Yolanda are all stunning stories, especially Mia and Vincent. Their entire sequence feels like a car wreck happening in slow motion. They are both so obviously instantly love struck (or lust struck anyway), Vincent is so clearly trying to stop what’s coming, and Mia so plainly does not give a shit. That entire dinner sequence leading up to the dance, which is silly but also crazily sexually charged, is a fantastic case study in actors living in subtext. Neither of them ever says what they’re really thinking, but you know what’s happening anyway. It’s incredible. I can understand the movie not being everybody’s cup of tea though. The violence is extreme, and I can see the dialogue feeling pointless, although I personally love the wild digressions.

So many people think the Die Hard, running around with your finger on the trigger of a firearm, even without a target, looks cool. It's f'ing stupid. And dangerous in RL. The scene with Jules in the car is a fantastic reversal of this, a great cinematic example of why those in mainstream gun culture are anal about gun safety.

I didn't like this movie the first time I saw it. Over the decades, though, I found that the film ages like a fine wine. I was able to appreciate it more and more as time went on and with each occasional rewatch. Kill Bill is - in my opinion - some of his best work. I'm certain it'd draw in a lot of new subs. When it comes to classic Quentin, Reservoir Dogs is really great. It's got about the same level of violence as Fiction. If you liked Harvey Keitel (The Wolf), he's in it much more too, along with Steve Buscemi. Also like this one, it's a patient movie.

You're reaction wasn't far off... what was this movie about? Overall, it was a fun B-Movie that happened to follow weird events in people's lives. Life is strange.

I think you should stop focusing on the fact that you think the scenes are too long and "it's just people talking" and enjoy films for what they are. The scenes are as long as they are supposed to be according to the director's vision. It's art. You watch it.

I totally agree. Some movies are better over the years. I’m not a big fan of Kill Bill movies. I love Once Upon at Time in Hollywood, Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, and Death Proof.

Lee Ellis

Like I said "The masturbatory fantasies of a 13 year old." Welcome to Quentin Tarrantino.

Steve Smith

Tried to watch along with you, but sorry, couldn't make it because of the 400 f-bombs in the first 20 minutes of this filthy and retarded movie. I think Tarantino is without question the worst director of all time. Anytime someone uses excessive foul language and excessive violence, like QT, you know it's to hide the obvious bad plot and poor acting.

Patrick Flanagan

Sorry but that's ridiculous. I guess you think SCHINDLER'S LIST is terrible too then? Also filled with foul language and excessive violence.

Mark M

@steve some people consider the r-word foul language as well.

MrSmokinDragon

Tarantino is without question a top 10 director. Just because you live in a fantasy with no violence or foul language, doesn't make that not true. Feel free to continue living in your bubble, but please don't try and become a judge of talent if you limit your experience...

Hans Olav

Funny that you complain about F-bombs but still use the R-word. Please revise what you say on the internet. Also, please explain what is wrong with saying fuck?

William

Not a fan generally of Tarantino, but this movie is brilliant. I enjoyed the watch along

Joe M

Great reaction. And I can appreciate and respect your honesty toward this movie. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. This is however my number one favorite. I guess I am bias when it comes to Quentin Tarantino films. Keep up the good work with your channel.

Chris Lüders

Very good interpretation and I just want to add a few thoughts. 😉 For me, the movie is great. Different violent people who don't know each other get in contact on different places and different times on 4 days and affect each others life massively. Normally nobody would care about each other, but different coincidences let their lifes take a turn to the better (Butch, Jules, Marsellus, even probably Mia) or to the worse (Vincent). I think most of the people who don't like the movie are more annoyed that the episodes are not in chronological order than the showed violence which is one aspect people should think about. Well, but very soon in this movie everbody knows that there isn't a chronological order and that you have to watch the whole movie to get the sense and the story. Otherwise the movie would be absolutely pointless and without any goal or intention like some dialogues appear to be. But even the pointless dialogues aren't that pointless as such because they alternate with really tense scenes, so there is always the contrast from one moment to the other. Of course you're right, the whole story about the watch was needless ... but that's Quentin Tarantino. 😉 Also if it was in chronological order, the last scene of the movie would be Butch driving away with Fabienne with the sentence 'Zed is dead' like the ending of a western. But it isn't and instead it ends like it starts with the difference that the last scene only seems to be violent. However it is the last twist of the movie, there isn't any violence and instead it has something like a 'Happy End'. 😊

The reaction to this film is mostly two-sided. You either loved it or hated it. Because of the controversy, we analyzed Pulp Fiction in a rhetorical communication class. One of the things we found was that the love vs. hate was founded in whether the watcher could/did recreate the time line effectively. The scenes in the film were NOT shown in chronological order. If they recreated the time line, they loved it. If they didn't/couldn't recreate the time line, then it was just "talking with lots of shooting" (and too many characters) ;) I loved watching your reaction even though you didn't like the movie
