Douban 8.8 Pulp Fiction: Understanding Quentin's Genius from Figures, Articles and Language.

I brushed "Pulp Fiction" for the second time today. To be honest, I didn't know about quentin tarantino until today. I used to just like watching movies and didn't pay attention to the director. I saw his photo today and found that his appearance is not outstanding, but a passerby's face. But after reading his products, I have to say Quentin is a genius.

Genius:

0 1. Literally, a ghost refers to a person who can find a very rational solution to a problem and the effect is better than everyone else.

02. Deep meaning: Ghosts usually behave normally, and once their abilities break out, they are quite huge. If they have the chance, they can turn the river upside down.

Thanks to Quentin, I saw Mia (uma thurman), the eloquent and critical john Travolta, and Jules (Samuel Jackson), who was illuminated by miracles and determined to make a pilgrimage and turn over a new leaf.

Quentin is a genius. He can turn movies upside down.

After brushing Pulp Fiction for the second time, I saw more details, including Quentin's imaginative and expressive genius.

Next, I will interpret Quentin's genius from three aspects: characters, objects and language.

First, characterization: thieves and robbers (robbing restaurants)

The thieves at the beginning are actually two mice who just want to get rich, pretending to be thieves.

I noticed a detail. When the waiter poured tea for honey punny, one of the thieves, she gently thanked her. The gentle eyes at that moment really filled people with sunshine.

But then she started armed robbery with her "pumpkin" (dear) interest, and human nature changed instantly. Good or bad, right or wrong, no one can predict the consequences.

Everyone panicked. No one panicked. Except Vincent and Jules. Vincent went to the bathroom to relieve himself, so he missed the robbery. He didn't see Bonnie and Clyde, but Jules happened to see them. Look, the saint is going to start his redemption, and the performance has begun.

Jules' wallet says "asshole" impressively. He is definitely not an ordinary person. In addition, a few words appeared in the film three times, singing like a "spell". Is Jules a hypocrite? Or self-salvation?

In fact, good and evil are in one thought, and Quentin used focal plane to show these two aspects incisively and vividly.

Second, the physical display: gold watch

Butch's father left him a gold watch after the war, which is nothing to others. Others may not want a dollar, but that is his spiritual sustenance.

He was very kind to his little lover, but when he knew that he had run away from home, she didn't take out the gold watch left by her father. Butch was furious and hysterical like a wolf, as if he were going to eat people. The woman next to him was frightened, but she didn't leave him later. Maybe none of them can live without each other and depend on each other.

He quickly changed his clothes and went back to the house to look for the gold watch, even if there was an ambush by the killer. I am very touched at this moment, because this is the only thing left by his father and the only memory bond between him and his father.

When I came back, I got my watch and put it on my hand. Then I calmly went to the kitchen to eat and put two pieces of toast on the toaster. I have to admire the high psychological quality of the killers. On the kitchen table, he saw a gun, like a submachine gun, or one without a silencer.

I thought, I don't know which unlucky killer it is, so I sang him a cool song. As a result, the unlucky Vincent came out of the bathroom and ran into someone else's gun. Beep, the toaster rang, Vincent hung up and Butch slipped away.

Step on the gas and run away. At this time, the black boss who sent a killer to kill him appeared at the traffic lights. The two men confirmed their eyes through the glass window and confirmed that they were the right person. Wensheng slammed on the gas pedal and died together. It's over.

No, this is definitely not the end.

The boss chased Butch with a gun, and the two entered a maintenance grocery store. Unexpectedly, they met a black cat, which was caught by the policeman Zed and his accomplices and locked up. After the game, the boss was locked up, and two animals did unspeakable things to him, feeling sorry for the boss and him.

Later, Butch, the hero, saved Big Brother, successfully broke through and confirmed his return with Big Brother. After settling the feud, he drove Zed's black Harley, picked up his little lover and ran away.

This brain-opening story is about a gold watch left by his father, and Butch even risked his life for what his father left behind.

It can be seen that fatherly love is irreplaceable. Quentin uses dramatic plots to connect the stories together, just like splicing several blockbusters together seamlessly.

Third, integration of language: waiter dialogue and taxi driver.

Most of the scenes in this film are in English, with a little French and Spanish.

When Vincent and his eldest brother's wife Mia were eating in a restaurant, he had a conversation with the waiter and tried to show off his French, but he confused the French vocabulary of girls and boys.

Garcon is called a boy, while Feiler is called a girl. Vincent is a little embarrassed. So at that moment, knowing French will avoid the embarrassment of using knowledge accuracy to a certain extent.

In another scene, Butch, a boxer, took a taxi home after the game, met a female driver from Spain and said her name was from Spain. Butch is also very talented and knows different languages.

In other scenes, I really saw swearing this time and learned more than ten kinds of swearing English words, which is really a textbook-level example.

Slang and common sayings are particularly strong and true, and are worth watching, remembering, practicing and communicating face to face.

Quentin didn't shoot the film content like an old pedant, but moved in some slang expressions, which immediately brought the audience into the track of real life. He is passionate and treats all languages and cultures equally.

summary

Just now I mentioned the characters and some details of the story, such as Bonnie and Clyde, the gold watch, the waiter and the Spanish woman driver.

Of course, there are stories about Vincent and Mia, a big black woman, Vincent and Jules on a killer mission together, and Vincent's manslaughter, and the big boss sent professionals to help him clean up the scene.

All the small fragments are an independent line, and at the same time, different short stories are strung together like beads with colorful characters, emotional objects and inclusive language to form a colorful necklace.

This film is very similar to the Japanese multi-time film style, which is also a technique of montage.

After reading Pulp Fiction, I became more familiar with Quentin's description of characters and the presentation of objects in Language Integration, which also brought sunshine and quaint inspiration to my study, work and life.

Quentin, Quentin, Quentin, Quentin.
