Pulp Fiction (1994)
Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed the American independent film, Pulp Fiction (1994). The narrative of the film deviates from chronological order and centers around three separate protagonists: Vincent Vega, a hitman; Butch Coolidge, a prizefighter; and Jules Winnfield, Vincent’s business partner. It opens with a diner robbery by a couple and then transitions between the three story lines before concluding back at the diner. Throughout the film, there are seven distinct narrative sequences, marked by intertitles.
Summary. As Pumpkin and Honey Bunny dine at the diner, they reflect on past robbery attempts. Pumpkin suggests striking again, confident that the unsuspecting patrons and employees will be no match for them. His partner Honey Bunny readily agrees. Meanwhile, hitmen Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega are on a mission for their boss, powerful gangster Marsellus Wallace. They arrive at Brett’s apartment to retrieve a briefcase but things quickly take a deadly turn when one of Brett’s associates is shot by Jules after he checks the contents of the case. In retribution for Brett’s betrayal of Marsellus, Jules recites a passage from the Bible before dispatching him with Vincent’s help.
Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace’s Wife. At the behest of Marsellus, Jules and Vincent hand off the briefcase to their boss. In return for his cooperation, Marsellus persuades prizefighter Butch Coolidge to throw his next fight. Meanwhile, Vincent acquires narcotics from his dealer, Lance. After shooting up, he heads over to pick up Mia, agreeing to accompany her while Marsellus is away. They enjoy a meal at a retro diner and show off their dance skills in a competition before heading back to Mia’s home. While Vincent slips away to use the restroom, Mia stumbles upon his stash of drugs and unknowingly ingests heroin instead of cocaine, leading to an overdose. Panicked, Vincent rushes her to Lance’s residence where she receives a life-saving injection of adrenaline.
The Gold Watch. Jules and Vincent hand over the briefcase to Marsellus, who then pays Butch Coolidge to lose his upcoming match. Vincent acquires heroin from his dealer, Lance, and injects himself before heading to meet Marsellus’s wife, Mia. He had promised to accompany her while Marsellus was away. They dine at a retro-themed restaurant, participate in a twist contest, and return home. Meanwhile, Mia discovers Vincent’s drugs while he is in the bathroom. In the ring, Butch betrays Marsellus by defeating his opponent but accidentally kills him. He plans to escape with his girlfriend Fabienne but realizes she forgot an important item: Butch’s father’s gold watch. After retrieving it from his apartment, he notices a gun and hears someone in the bathroom. It turns out to be Vincent who he then shoots before leaving.
The Bonnie Situation. In the apartment, Jules and Vincent take out Brett before a sudden interruption from another man who tries to shoot them. They quickly retaliate and eliminate the threat. Afterwards, Jules believes their survival was a miracle but Vincent disagrees. On their way out with Brett’s friend, Marvin (who they later find out is working for Marsellus), Vincent accidentally shoots him in the head causing blood to splatter everywhere due to an unexpected bump in the road. Seeking help, they turn to Jules’s friend Jimmie whose wife Bonnie is due home soon. A cleaner named Winston Wolfe is sent by Marsellus to handle the situation. He instructs Jules and Vincent to conceal the body in the trunk, clean up the car and dispose of their bloody clothes at a junkyard.
