Pulp Fiction

I watched the movie Pulp Fiction, one of the things that I noticed the most was the kind of music that they had in the background and how it went very well with the scene and the beat to who ever was in the scene at the time. Karyn Rachtman did the music. There was one scene that stood out the most, the part where Mia was started dancing before she over dosed on cocaine and as she slowly starts dancing the music starts and as she picks up the pace so does the music, once she stopped the music shutoff and I thought that it was done very well on how they did that because I thought that it helped me relate into the scene better with the music playing. I also really liked the song so I thought that it was fun to kind of sing along with her as she danced.

Also in Pulp Fiction there were many famous stars like John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Bruce Willis. I think that John Travolta was chosen for this movie because he had already had many big roles and he was proved to many people, how wonderful actor that he is, and he had also won many awards for his acting. He has played many other roles like Danny Zuko in Grease and Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever. These were huge roles for him in the 70’s many of these roles were the ones that made him famous. I think in the movie that Travolta’s character was stereotypical because he was a rich man who spent a lot of his money on cocaine and slept around with many women, and I have feeling that back then that is what it was like for men who had good paying jobs. His life on the set was not bad, many of the scene required him to act in ways that he would never have acted in before and I think with having to practice that on set if something went a little wrong everyone would let it slide, because they might have thought that it was just him preparing.

Bruce Willis came to his fame when he was both a Hollywood leading man and a supporting actor, in a particular role as john McClane in the Die Hard series. I believe that he was chosen for this film because of everything that he has accomplished with his career before this movie. They knew going into it that he would put something good on the table and have a great movie. Which they did because it was the number one movie in 1994. Again I think that his role was more stereotyped because I again he was doing his job for the money and I feel that these days that’s only what people are doing now instead of doing it because they like doing it and having fun. His behavior on the set was friendly and funny until one time when he jokingly states something that offended the director.

I totally agree with what you said about music, it totally can make or break a film, and can add a whole new demension to movie

I think that it is too bad about Bruce Willis acting for money instead of as a form of expression more so. Why waste your time if its not something that you want to be doing? And it is disapointing too because I can only imagine how much he made for this film, it is still a pretty popular film today even.
