2:19 the earlier scene about the h3roin isn't just to say how powerful it is, but to explain why Mia mistakenly snorted h3roin instead of coke. When Vincent bought the h3roin, his dealer was out of balloons (which h3roin is typically sold in), so Vincent bought it in a baggie (which coke is typically sold in). And the movie already showed that Mia fancies herself some coke, so it's understandable that she'd snort some she finds in his jacket.
Yup. I just didn’t want to get into the details and mention the drugs by name, because I am not sure what the algorithm punishes these days and as a very new channel with its first video, I didn’t want to take a chance and so I kept it vague
Thank you!! I was thinking same! ALSO IT WAS NEVER TRULY DETERMINED THAT A FOOT MASSAGE WAS REASON TONY ROCKY HORROR WAS THROWN FROM ROOF!!!!! She said he only ever shook her hand at thier wedding! Why Marcellus did what he did was between him and Tony!!! Maybe another rewatch is in order for narrator????
I remember reading somewhere that the reason Vincent was rude to Butch at the beginning of the movie is because he knows Butch is there to get paid to take a dive and he considers that dishonourable. Then you get the close-up shot of Butch shocked at Vincent’s abrasiveness, and it gives him pause as to his actions, which is the first moment he questions whether or not to take a dive. Of course, this is just a theory.
I think whether or not this makes Butch not take a dive is a fan theory, because it seems his plan was already made. But Vincent not respecting Butch for being “a palooka” is true, and Butch is also the one who keys Vincent’s car.
@@BigFilmRev if Butch keyed Vincent’s car, that next level petty, considering Vincent didn’t drive his car the the bar that day (the whole Bonnie situation story line). That means Butch followed Vince around to find out what car was his before keying it. Unless after Vince and Jules were at the diner, they took a cab to Vince’s house to pick up his car before heading to the bar.
@@davidortega3393It’s possible Vincent drove his car to Marcellus’s club, met Jules there, then rode with him to the apartments. I dunno how exactly, but Tarantino confirmed that Butch was the keyer in an interview somewhere.
I agree with your analysis of Winston Wolf completely, but it perhaps justifies a deeper dive. 1. Impeccably polite to Jimmie. It would be easier to simply kill Jimmie and Bonnie - and this was always an option - but he honestly appreciates who is doing whom a favor and acts accordingly. 2. He does not back down from Vincent, but he also does not escalate, in spite of genuine provocation. 3. Repays Jules and Vincent's respect with respect of his own. Verdict? You said it better than I could :)
Definitely, a lot could be said about WW, but since I felt he didn't actually get a full "morality test" from Tarantino, I was better off skipping him altogether for this particular video. But he had to get an honorable mention.
Great analysis! Tarantino's films can often come across as being based more around spectacle than anything else, but people may forget that he's a really sharp writer, and can infuse his movies with some real themes. :)
Precisely. He’s the perfect compromise between a deep, complex festival filmmaker and a Hollywood director who knows how to entertain. He really has created his own genre, even though not all of his films are on Pulp’s level.
Great video, really handled the topic well! Still my favourite movie of all time. I like the idea that it's also Tarantino working with a lot of war-movie themes, that the crime is almost a stand-in for that form of larger conflict.
Great analysis! Also, Pulp Fiction continues to be entertaining on every single watch, provokes thought in me, and allows me to spend time with great characters. Verdict : Masterpiece!!!
You know, you may be right, but I feel it’s up for interpretation, cause Marsellus had his own gun with him. I always thought it was Vincent’s gun, remember he wanted shotguns in the apartment scene in the beginning of the film, so I assumed he finally came prepared with more than just his pistol, but it makes sense for that to belong to Marsellus too.
I'm your 57th sub. This channel is gonna blow up. I'm hoping you pick up on the occult symbolism that is present in every major movie in recent history but I can forgive you if you don't. This is a good breakdown
I already subscribed Lol. This is good stuff, man. I always see analysis videos talk about redemption in this movie but I never seen a video that is focused on redemption like this one. And it's really interesting and fun to watch too. Like your narration voice BTW.
Vincent DID show that he was going to be loyal to Marcellus Wallace when he had the talk with himself in the bathroom about not succumbing to his lust for Mia Wallace. That was something showing a trace of decency.
I think Vincent dying on the toilet is a homage to Elvis (who supposedly died on the throne) since in the extra scene available on tape (and I guess on DVD), Mia tells him that there's two types of men, Elvis Men and Beatles men, and Vincent is obviously an Elvis man.
Great video, man! Nicely and fittingly structured, too! I've always loved Pulp Fiction, but as I have grown older (more like completed my teenage years but still) the edgyness has become a bit overbearing in a handful of scenes. I would bet that even the edgelord king himself, Tarantino, would recognize some of this film's edgyness as immature. For me, it's at times cringe-inducing. Still, a more than good film. And again, great video. Would love to see more. (Definitely earned my sub!)
Thank you! I’m sure a lot of choices made in Pulp Fiction wouldn’t be made today if he were to do it all over again. Surely he’s matured in a lot of ways, both as a filmmaker and as a person.
Two things you are just WRONG about: 1. The reason Mia OD'd is because she thought she was snorting coke. We've already seen her snort lines before she and Vincent went out, and when Vincent buys the heroin, Lance puts it in a baggie, because he's "all out of balloons." If the heroin had been in a balloon, Mia would have known not to snort it. Vincent SHOULD have made sure she didn't get ahold of his heroin supply, so he would definitely be morally (and of course legally) culpable if she had died. 2. The heroin is also the reason that Vincent is always in the crapper. Heroin and opioids cause cause constipation. He spends so much time in the shitter (with a book) because he's having such a hard time getting his bowels to move.
I know and I am completely aware of the fact this question might sound too stupid and the answer is so straightforward that it's futile to ask this question, but the name of your video gave me the idea of a very deep, profound and fundamental philosophical question. Excuse me if this sounds a little rude or stupid to think about it, but theoretically - Would Quentin Tarantino go to heaven or purgatory? I know I sound extremelly rude and judgemental and I want to say that I am deeply sorry about it. This is not a bias, nor nothing controversial, I am just genuinly asking and out of the curiosity. I almost feel like the worst criminal asking questions like that. But my personal answer is that I am very much struggling with that response, but I believe Quentin Tarantino would definitely go to heaven. He definitely and ultimately revolutionized the film, filmography, cinema, cinematography, motion pictures and therefore the entire medium. Everybody knows it regardless of how much (or if at all) anyone has watched his film. He hates the violence in the real life and it hasn't change through his entire life. And it will (surely) never change. He absolutely hates the violence from the frightening animals of different kind (maybe including humans) to the absolutely worst deed the one can cause to the other insect, animal and human being. He is very strict, honest, fair and permanent about it. And regardless of the fact I am an absolute film analphabet and illiterate person (I mean in general, not only in comparison with Quentin Tarantino himself) I really and extremelly appreciate that he is ,,not only" absolutely great in all these fields, spheres and realms, but he is in fact a truly, genuinely and honestly good person. It has always been extremely important for me that a genius should be a good person, not only being good in his (or her) fields. The more I find out and search that about Quentin Tarantino, the more I assure myself that he is the right, polar and exact opposite of anyone violent and evil even though he loves these themes and topics in the art. *I am sorry for the question again.*
Vincent is on the toilet so much because of his heroin use as it causes constipation. The fact that he eats like he does only adds to the fact the he should not be constipated haha
It really does feel special and different than his other films, as much as I like some of those as well. I wonder how much Roger Avary’s contribution influenced this film. I mean, it’s got Tarantino written all over it, so it’s definitely a Tarantino film through and through, but it’s the only major one he co-wrote with someone and I can’t help but wonder if their chemistry just worked well and made QT better.
So true with Wolf, easy way out would be to kill all (4) of them and go for breakfast. However, they never tell you why Jimmie & Bonnie lived. Especially since now he has dirt on everyone involved, who says he would never talk ? The connection goes deeper than what was shown lol. Perhaps Wolf was told to do the most with minimal exposure possible? We do know Jules and Jimmy have a past connection with this kind of stuff lol. Kept alive knowing how useful he is for other situations similar to this. A 2.5 car garage is very useful for a lot of things that need to be done hush hush 🤫. Knowing this guy has a solid work history plus a family, they know he will always keep quiet 🤐 about past , present and future favors that always come up. Nice to have friends like this, sure do miss these connections, especially right after you get punched for crimes you did not do yourself!!!
This film is about Marcellus trying to get back his soul from the devil. The easiest way for the devil to steal your soul is through the back of your neck. That’s what’s in the briefcase…his soul. Ugh…the lack of depth in this review
That’s an interesting fan theory, but a theory nonetheless. Besides, it doesn’t negate the themes of redemption and the way QT writes his characters and “tests” them within the story, so our take and that fan theory are not mutually exclusive. But hey, that’s the beauty of this film. We can all appreciate it differently.

Thank you! Also one of my favorite movies, and one I can watch again and again with no issues.
You just know a small channel will go far when they have quality vids from beginnning

Thank you! One of our favorites as well.
433 and counting ^^
Great analysis!

I love this video the you got to be the first RUclipsr to ever break it down so smoothly more please
Thank you! New one coming this week 💪🏻
It's not Vincent's gun, it's Marcellus'. He left while he went to get donuts, Vince Carrie's a pistol
You know, you may be right, but I feel it’s up for interpretation, cause Marsellus had his own gun with him.

I love analysis like this. Very well done!
Pulp Fiction will always be a classic. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words 🍻
"And even tough he takes way too much time choosing a weapon while Marcellus is getting all kinds of posterior love"
Oh shit, laugh my ass off!
Haha, thank you! Always found the scene hilarious, Butch taking his sweet ass time picking a weapon while you hear the “love” going on downstairs.
Wow! Great video! I love your editing, comedy, music, and of course, the source material (Pulp Fiction) You earned a new sub in me! Congrats!

This is actually a very good analysis and I'm surprised this is from a small channel. Good job to all of you guys... 👍

This is why he gets away scot-free from the OD situation. I have mentioned this in the video.

Vincent isn't on the toilet all the time because of his bad diet (even though that doesn't help).
Long-time heroin users get chronic constipation.
Verdict ! Badass 😂

Exactly. It's the heroin. Weird to bring up the fact that he's in the washroom a lot and not know the actual reason.
Dope
