Many honors have been given to the body, which is in beautiful contrast with its name. This is Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction's remarkable feature is his amazing circular narrative structure, but this unusual narrative style also brings difficulties in understanding.
At the beginning of the story, two robber couples had breakfast in a fast food restaurant and decided to wash their hands after work. They discussed whether to rob a restaurant or a bank. Finally, they thought this fast food restaurant was good, so they took out their guns and decided to rob it. The second story tells that Ma Zaisen, Vincent and his partner Zhu Si, the men of Black Boss, are going to kill the traitor who took the mysterious box. On the way, they talked about the black boss's wife, Mel. Vincent was very upset, because when the black boss was on a business trip, he was assigned to play with Mi Er.
After that, the two men solved the rebels. Vincent bought heroin the next day and went to Meiere's house. Meiere and Vincent went to the bar to play together, and they won the dance competition together. After accompanying Meiere home, Meiere accidentally took Vincent's heroin. Vincent took Meiere to meet an old friend and finally saved Meiere. They said goodbye and decided not to mention it again. ?
The third story is the story of a boxer. Boss Blake persuaded boxer Butch to fight fake boxing in the last game of his career. Butch accepted the bribe, but he made a huge bet on himself and ran away with huge bribes and gambling money after winning the game. Unexpectedly, my girlfriend left her ancestral gold watch at her original home. Butch had to venture home to get it. He caught Vincent coming out of the toilet and shot him with a gun on the table. But when Butch drove away, he ran into Martha, the black boss, and the two collided and scuffled into a pawnshop. Unexpectedly, the pawnbroker grabbed a gun and threatened them, tied them in the basement and determined to make them sex slaves. Butch escaped after being dragged away in Misa, and saved Misa in reverse. The two decided to break up.
The last story is that Vincent and Jules killed the renegade boy and brought back the people on the line together. Unexpectedly, Vincent accidentally killed the informant. They drove to their friend Jimmy's house. Black boss sent wolves to solve the problem. They disposed of the car and the body, changed clothes and went to have breakfast together. Unexpectedly, the fast food restaurant they went to was the fast food restaurant robbed by the robber couple. The two men subdued the robber, who finally left.
At this point, the stories merged and formed a complete circle. After the audience enjoyed great pleasure in the constant subversion of the plot and the flexible transformation of the timeline, the film ended. Looking back, I took a roller coaster along the circular track and returned to the starting point. It's delicious. The circular narrative structure is different from the linear structure of modern movies. The linear narrative method is to show the story with the passage of time and present a complete time for the audience.
The circular narrative law intentionally breaks this narrative way, putting different things that happened at different times into a movie. These things are independent and interrelated, and finally form a cycle, which requires the audience to combine the stories like a jigsaw puzzle. There is no necessity and cause and effect, only infinite chance and accident, just like our life, which may be the real theme of Pulp Fiction.
