Cinema Tarantino: The Making of Pulp Fiction

Redemption? Tarantino is far too shallow for that. Tarantino seems more focused on revenge, pure and simple. When diCaprios' character in Django Unchained says 'why don't the slaves just rise up and kill all the white people', that's representative of Tarantino's approach to tragedy -- just kill the people responsible in the most violent, gratifying way possible. It's hard to imagine a less self-conscious or serious filmmaker today. Even Michael Bay pokes fun at himself from time to time. But everyone seems to be convinced that Tarantino has Deep Things to say about society. He doesn't. He's an emotionally stunted loser who stumbled into fame.

If you want a good film about redemption, look to Bresson's Mouchette -- I would rather watch that 20 times in a row than re-experience Pulp Fiction.

Settle down, Beavis. I'm agreeing with you.

That's a good and informative article, Nicco. Pulp Fiction remains my all time favorite Tarantino's flick. Especially for the Bruce Willis part. This movie has some unforgattable quotes.

The only weak part is the French girlfriend of Willis, played by that portuguese actress. She is an annoying character. Aside from that, a classic.
