Pulp Fiction Response

Pulp Fiction is a very popular movie directed by Quentin Tarantino in 1994. This criminal thriller starts out by introducing the audience to tow characters, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny. These two low-life criminals are conspiring to commit one more of their several robberies, this one taking place in a dinner during breakfast time. As they are about to call the attention of the employees and people eating, the scene ends. I believe that this initial set up was purposely constructed in order to foreshadow or hint to viewers what the rest of the film will consist of. The construct of time and place are very crucial and notable throughout the movie. We are taken day by day, scene by scene before we are reintroduced to Pumpkin and Honey Bunny. Jules, Vincent, Marcellus and other main characters are focused on. We learn that Jules and Vincent are two hit-men that work for Marcellus, a shady businessman assumed to engage in illegal activity to produce an income. Their primary task and mission in the movie is to retrieve a briefcase that belong to their boss, Marcellus. After killing several people, they retain the package and a new scene begins with the two at the same dinner Pumpkin and Honey Bunny are. Although Vincent ultimately get killed during another hit, he is still shown to be alive until the end of the film because of the way the scene are put together.  The contents of the package are never shown, but every time it was opened, a bright golden light emits from it.
