I had one and someone asked me if it was worth $25, and I used the line from Pulp Fiction. "I don't know if it was worth $25, but it was a pretty damned good hamburger!"

    This screenwriting method has been done to death these days but never underestimate how mind blowing it was when first introduced in Pulp Fiction. Forget about the story and characters and just focus on the structure of the movie. It was like nothing we had ever seen before. I will never forget the first time I watched it back in the day.

    • @Garrett1240
      @Garrett1240 5 лет назад +5

      It's actually hard to imagine what viewers like yourself must've thought upon seeing PF for the first time. I was born in '95 and was already an avid film fan by the time I watched it, so a total lack of familiarity for the plot/story structure isn't really something I can envision. Must've been an exciting time in cinema.

    • @willmosse3684
      @willmosse3684 5 лет назад +1

      I saw it in the cinema when I was 15 or 16 and it totally blew my mind. The content was crazy, but then also the way the different story arcs and the chronological order were chopped up and mixed around. I had never seen anything like that before, and though I had understood what was going on, I couldn’t quite get my head around how it all fit together - it felt like an Escher painting or something. I watched it again a few days ago as a 40 year old and I still thought it was fuckin awesome, but I was able to see how it was all structured and fit together much more clearly. Three different stories chopped up and intertwined. It is hard to know how much of that is just being 40 instead of 16, and how much is because unorthodox narrative structure has been used a lot more since then.

      That non-linear nature was inspired by the French New Wave from the late 1950's and throughout the 60's. It had all been done before. Tarantino was heavily inspired by it. He even named his film company after a film from that time "A Band Apart", named after Jean Luc-Goddard's "Bande à part". Most of Tarantino's films are heavily inspired by other films, such as Lady Snowblood part 1 & 2 and Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 being almost a copy in a story and style sense. Main parts of Kill Bill's music is even taken directly from those films.. The main thing that differentiates Tarantino is his dialogue, which his films are very heavy on. Sidenote: Roger Avary helped write Pulp Fiction too, it was by no means all Tarantino.
