A wonderful screenplay Tarantino's rich, exciting dialogue comes to life in his Oscar-winning screenplay, Pulp Fiction. If you love the film, read this, because it may answer any further questions you have about it, and you'll understand the movie a bit more. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who highly admires Quentin Tarantino.
"I'm an American baby, our names don't mean s***" This is the original screenplay of 1994's top movie, Pulp Fiction. If you haven't seen this flick, do so. Right now. Afterwards, buy this trade paperback and relive all the high points of the film. The stories are great, the characters leap from the pages, and the dialogue is tight and witty. It's $12.95 well spent, if only so you can deliver all the cool lines at parties. My favorite bit of dialogue involves Butch, a boxer, and Esmerelda, a cab driver.
Butch: ...Esmarelda Villalobos--is that Mexican? Esmerelda: The name is Spanish, but I'm Colombian. B: It's a very pretty name. E: It means "Esmerelda of the wolves." B: That's one hell of a name you got there, sister. E: Thank you. And what is your name? B: Butch. E: Butch. What does it mean? B: I'm an American, baby, our names don't mean s***.
one of the best fiction movies ever the reason i like this movie is because it has alot of big name actors of the 90s samuel l. jackson, john t, bruce willis, ving rhames, uma thurman, and tim roth i enjoyed when uma thurman got high and was listening 2 some cool music n her house 2 celebrate her and john winning the dancing contest at the restuarnat this movie made me respect samuel jackson more because like denzel most of his movies are outspoken characters in this movie he plays a religious guy who has strong belief in Jesus Christ so with that he tells his partner john during their conversation at a classy restuarant that he is going to retire and walked da earth and john told him he was crazy because da people that walked da earth are known as bums which was kind of funny 2 me and bruce willis breaking on his adorable wife was also funny when he got very mad at her for leaving his father valuable watch at the hotel he had 2 go back and get it and got into so trouble on his way there pulp fiction slightly turned into die hard because bruce was all bloodly up like he was in all of his die hard films ving rhames was the king in this film but later he was raped by a gay guy but bruce saved him and he told bruce that this was between them there was some other scenes but the scenes that i mentioned all my favorite parts of the movie
Reads like a book; very addictive. Great dialogue. PULP FICTION, the film, is one of my favorites, and I own both the DVD and the screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Now, as with most things, since Quentin has become ultra-popular, it's suddenly become "cool" to dislike him and his movies (particularly FICTION). Quoting Dave Thomas (SCTV), "Let's get down to the nitty gritty here": Whether or not you like the film, Quentin DOES have a knack for superb dialogue, and here is proof.
Recommended on all levels - one of my hobbies is scriptwriting and this is a definite inspiration as it was written by a man-child who never took a single screenwriting course. He just did it, and that's always been my own strategy when it comes to these things.
I Love the Movie,I Love the Screenplay! I've already written a review for the movie which I gave five stars and now i'm giving the same to the screenplay.The scrrenplay had all of the same things the movie had and some stuff that was left on the cutting room floor in the final cut of the movie,but the screenplay is always good to read to see the way the story was told and then put on film.For example,the Marcellus and Zed scene when you see it you are utterly disgusted and strangely mesmerized at the same time and when you read that part in the screenplay the way Quentin Tarantino wrote and explained the scene was magnificent although I try to skip that entire scene while watching the DVD.Quentin Tarantino is not only a great director but he is also the definitive screenwriter and Pulp Fiction proves that the man can write.
