Pulp Fiction 's Bathroom Fixation

Pulp Fiction is a black comedy, and crime movie that was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The movie features graphic violence, drugs, and a mysterious briefcase. Pulp Fiction tells several stories in a nonlinear way, meaning that the narratives are not told in a chronological order and do not follow the rules of space and time. The usage of a nonlinear format in Pulp Fiction was quite compelling as it did not follow the typical cause-effect sequence in any scene, instead Tarantino chose to open the movie with a non-typical effect rather than a cause.

On Saturday November 4th, I visited Maine South High School to observe the athletic training room facility. I had emailed the Head Athletic Trainer, Jerry Bornhoff prior to my attendance to make sure I was allowed to shadow him for the day. A Maine South football game was scheduled for the afternoon, and the facility was packed with football players. Throughout the time I was there, I made sure I noted the whole process of an athlete from when they first arrived and when they left the training room facility.

The contents of the family restroom off of Peaks Place Trail were always the same. The little 8X5 room usually contained a stained-up finger print covered mirror, a leaky sink, a clogged up or overflowing toilet, and a drain in the middle of the floor that had probably never gotten rid of any water in its existence. However, on the last Sunday of every month, the items in dirty room would get a few additions. On these particular Sundays, the public restroom would contain its usual revolting things, but it would also contain a view from the doorway of a rusty bike leaned against a rotting tree, a black duffle bag that housed a few dirty clothes, and a visit from a 19 year old homeless girl who would be frantically trying to get the dirt stains out of the only semi-nice thing that she owned. This particular Sunday would be no different as the young lady tried to get ready for her usual once-a-month church going.

Pulp Fiction is a black comedy crime film written and directed Quentin Tarantino (1994). The film’s “narrative follows the unpredictable actions and reflections of two hit men who philosophically meditate out loud about the Bible, loyalty, and McDonald’s hamburgers” (Corrigan, White, 368). The movie goes against the three-act structure of classic films as the story is told out of chronological order making the film so memorable to its viewers. Tarantino’s film begins in a coffee shop and also ends in the same shop. In the beginning of the film, it appears to be a soft, moist, shapeless matter of mass but as the movie progresses the audience can take away much more from the mundane acts they view on screen. The film’s odd narrative

The subsequent occasion wherein the bathroom brings forth a thinking of ethics occurs whilst Vincent Vega and Jules Winfield confront Brett over Wallace’s briefcase. While the two are interrogating and humiliating Brett, a fourth man or woman remains hidden within the rental lavatory, plotting a heroic shooting of the 2 henchmen. I located it interesting that via this factor the target audience nonetheless sides with the two gangsters over the person whose buddies are being murdered outside. When the hidden man or woman busts open the rest room door and unleashes

In the article “Battle Of The Bathroom.” Written by Michael Scherer he discusses a speech given by Dan Patrick, the lieutenant governor of Texas about the controversy of men using the women’s restroom and vice versa. His interested of the whole speech was towards the perceived threats that could possibly arouse when a man enters a woman’s restroom. Patrick states in his speech that women NEED protection. Patrick says “Women deserve their privacy, they deserve their dignity, and they deserve their comfort and safety.”

In this essay I will be doing a close analysis on the famous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, 1960. I will be looking at the mise-en-scène, performance, cinematography, editing, and the manipulation of sound. I will also be looking at themes that are explored in the film and what messages they convey to the audience. I will be using some theories to help analyze this particular sequence.

Automatically, Jeannie soothed her dark hair pulling on the end of the ponytail to tighten it. Bryan seemed oblivious to her except as the person who took up all the time in the bathroom every morning. How is that? To share with Jack-and-Jill bathroom with your stepbrother who is totally hot.

Opening in a shoddy-looking public bathroom, the plight of one mother, Lilly’s, misfortune will soon become clear to the viewer. As Lilly sits behind a closed cubicle, another woman enters.

I was never a movie guy up until I watched Pulp Fiction two years ago. I have only watched it like four to five time due to how long it is. Amazing movie still. The next movie on the list is director Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Like Pulp Fiction it is also pretty long movie, but because both movies were directed and acted wonderfully those three hours go by fast.Pulp Fiction is directed by Quentin Tarantino as well as another critically acclaimed movie Reservoir Dogs, that I have yet to see. Pulp Fiction takes place mostly in California where most of the movie two hitmen go retrieve a briefcase for their boss, shooting almost everyone they come into contact with. Aside from that, the beginning of the movie starts with diner heist if you believe it or not. This movie is has drug use, gunshots, brain matter, and diner heists, all the ingredients for a crime genre film . On the other side of the spectrum Pulp Fiction is listed a drama genre as well. Quentin adds drama brilliantly in one short scene where John Travolta character Vincent has to keep his boss’s wife named Mia, company while away. After Vincent and Mia, finish their dinner at a car themed restaurant go back to Mia’s place and Mia begins to to OD on Vincent’s heroin after snorting it like coke.

Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino in 1994, is a movie made of various storylines consisting of two hit men, a boxer, a mob boss’s wife, and a pair of bandits, which are interwoven, in a nonlinear fashion in four tales of violence and dark comedy. The movie opens up with a still frame of the dictionary definition of the word ‘Pulp.’ It is clear that the second definition is more relevant to the topic of the movie and sets up the tone for the coming feature. The definition is faded onto and out of the screen with no sound, indicating that Tarantino wants it to be kept in mind throughout the film. The first scene begins In medias res with a medium shot of a couple eating and having a conversation at a diner.

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 comedy, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Pulp Fiction describes the life of two hitmen, Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson), and the challenges they face with their boss, his wife, a struggling boxer, and a pair of armed robbers. This suspense-filled movie displays many use of drugs, the main one being heroin. The film accurately portrayed the effects that could happen to your body when having an overdose on heroin and showed many ways the drugs could be used within your body. However, one thing the film didn’t accurately portray was the adrenaline shot used to counteract the heroin overdose.

Quentin Tarantino’s American crime film “Pulp Fiction” is organized through three separate but interrelated storylines. There is one story that constructed by three distinct stories. At the beginning of the sequences, titles are shown on the black screen which provides a recognizable source for narration.The first story-Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace’s wife- is about Vincent Vega (John Travolta) who is responsible for spending time with his boss Marsellus Wallace’s wife, Mia (Uma Thurman). The second story -The Gold Watch- is about the espace of prizefighter Butch (Bruce Willis) from Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames).

The movies that Tarantino makes are not just violent, but have a great storyline, which he writes. His most famous movies include: Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Till Dawn, Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2, and the newest one, Inglourious Basterds (IMDb). Other, less famous ones are: Jackie Brown and Grindhouse (a double-feature consisting of Planet Terror, and Death Proof) (IMDb). To this day, people still talk about how great of a movie Pulp Fiction is. These movies are well known for their graphic violence, and sometimes profanity.

The film Pulp Fiction was an immediate box office success when it was released in 1994 and it was also well received by the critics, and celebrated for the way it appeared to capture exactly a certain pre-millennial angst and dislocation in Western capitalist societies. The term post-modernist, often used to refer to art and architecture, was applied to this film. The pulp fiction refers to popular novels which are bought in large numbers by less well educated people and enjoyed for their entertainment value. The implication is that the film concerns topics of interest to this low culture, but as this essay will show, in fact, the title is ironic and the film is a very intellectual presentation of issues at the heart of contemporary
