Pulp Fiction Analysis

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 film directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film is comprised of few stories, the stories all mingling together at some points. It takes into account the experiences of a boxer, two hit men, their boss' wife, and a couple robbing a cafe. The opening sequence starts off with a man and woman talking in a cafe, the way the man is sitting seems like he is a laidback easy going type of man, and the woman seems very open to talk about violence which shows she could be a dangerous character. The over shoulder shots show they are a couple the way they converse with each other and show a lot of eye contact show they are close. Then the shot of when the man puts his gun on the table shows the couple are criminals even though the conversation between the two is about scaring people and not actually killing those shows the irony between their attitude and the gun. There are a lot of over the shoulder shots which help the audience understand the characters by the reactions and expressions on their faces.
