The Director's Chair > Quentin Tarantino

Has Pulp Fiction dated?

(1/12) > >>

budgie:
Saw it a little while ago, not having seen it for a time.

I felt that yes, it had, and that it didn't seem to have the zip it once did. Just less dangerous, I suppose, and also over-stretched?

Familiarity breeding contempt, maybe. Still love the music, the scene with the adrenalin shot still works, still love Harvey Keitel and those scenes.

Cecil:
i felt a little the same way when i bought the se dvd and watched it. i hadnt seen it in a couple of years.

Duck Sauce:
I think its dated but hasnt lost its zip. When it came out it was so original, and now we are kind of used to it, and Tarantino rip offs. Still has it for me though .

I totally agree. It is with Pulp Fiction as it is with every other film that is groundbreaking and original, like The Godfather and Starwars, the "rush" it gave you will wear off. On the otherhand it will grow as a classic, and get that unique feeling of purity. Pulp Fiction is , for me, not what it was, but still fuckin enjoyable.

RegularKarate:
I grew sick of the film years ago... Hated how many people held it so high and hadn't even seen Reservoir Dogs.  

I just watched it a couple months ago and fell in love with it again.  Just a great film.
