Pulp Fiction
One of my favorite Tarantine movies is Pulp Fiction, which is about what a couple of mobsters go through in their life dealing with murder, drugs, coverups, hits, and everything a typical mobster would encounter. It also has a side story about a boxer who rips off the mob boss. Pretty much everything in this movie is illegal, and I really like how mostly everything they show is probably very accurate to a real mafia-like gang or family. The justice-related topics in this movie are obvious, which are many illegal things mobsters go through, and also kind of how they work. The main focuses are about murders and some drug-related justice issues about heroin/cocaine. This is a great movie with even greater actors in it; if you haven't seen this movie then I highly recommend watching it!

Tarantino is an incredible director, hands down one of the best of our time. I'm not sure what mob-life would be like but I'm pretty sure this movie gives us a pretty good idea! Lots of dark humor too that's always inherent with a Tarantino flick that just makes it a classic-must watch!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great movie, a little too over the top to be realistic, but still great. Best scene is with Christopher Walken and the watch. I think that the best justice issue discussed in this involves Samuel L. Jackson and his passage from the bible. When he starts contemplating what his role is as a hitman. Is he the sheep or the shepherd?
ReplyDeleteAs Mike said, not very realistic and not meant to be. It's not "Goodfellas" after all. Thus, the justice issues are neither obvious nor literal.
ReplyDeleteMan, I love this movie. I love any movie that is done by Quentin Tarantino. All of his movies display violence, but they are amusing all at the same time. Consider this movies Kill Bill (Vols. 1 and 2), they show extreme violence and deaths, but the movie has a great story line and it very eye-opening. I agree, if you havent seen this movie, you should go see it.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with everyone else. This movie is a classic hands down. John Travolta has never made a cigarette look so good. LIke everyone else said the movie is definitely not very realistic, but does show extreme violence and emotion.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen all of this movie. I have seen bits and pieces but not the whole thing all the way through. From the few parts I remember seeing, there are many justice issues. I think I will be renting this one over break.
