Textual Analysis - Pulp Fiction

BLOG OF NOTES

-THE CHARACTERS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE SCENE ARENT YOUR TYPICAL CHARACTERS. THEY ARE IN SOME CASE OUTCASTS, (MANY EARINGS AND DRUG ADDICTS.)
-IRONY OF THE PERSON SAYING TO STEP INTO HIS OFFICE WHEN ITS HIS ROOM AND HE IS IN HIS PIJAMAS.
-THE NARRATIVE DRIVE AND THE MAIN IMPORTANT THING IS THE DRUG THAT VINCENT VEGA HAD IN HIS COAT IN WHICH HE LATER PICKS UP MARCELLAUS WALLACES WIFE. THIS DRUG IS A KEY THING IN LATER SCEENS. TARANTINO HAS A TENDENCY TO DO THIS. 
- WE CAN ALSO SEE THE USES OF LIGHTING SHOWS THE MOOD OF THE CHARACTER WHEN HE IS UNDER THE EFFECT OF DRUGS AND WHEN BEFORE HE CONSUMES THE DRUG. THE LIGHTING IN THE SCEENE WHEN HE BUYS THE DRUG IS COMPLETELY AND PERFECTLY LIGHTED, BUT WHEN WE START TO SEE THE DRUG KIT AND VINCENT UNDER THE EFFECTS, WE GET SLOW MUSIC WITH DARK COLORS. THESE DARK COLORS COULD RESPRESENT THE WORLD OF THESE DRUG/OUTCAST PEOPLE AND HOW THEIR WORLD IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY.
-THE PRESENTATION OF THE DRUGS BEFORE THEY WERE CONSUMED WAS THAT THEY WERE IN THIS PERFECTLY LIGHTED AMBIENT, THIS SHOWS THAT TARANTINO IS TRYING TO SHOW THAT ITS NOT BAD OR THAT ITS COOL. THE WAY THE SHOTS OF THE DRUG KIT ARE OPENED AND USED IS SHOWED AS IN SOME WAY A TEMPTATION, TRYING IN SOMEWAY TO WANT YOU TO TRY IT,
-THE CLOSE-UPS AND SLOW MOTION SHOTS OF VINCENT ONCE UNDER THE EFFECTS IS SHOWING HOW HE ENJOYS IT AND THE SLOW MOTION FACIAL ACTING WORKS PERFECTLY.  

TASK 2:

-THE FALL OF MARCELLUS WALLACE (A GANGSTER BOSS) MANY CRIMINAL MOVIES ARE ABOUT THE RISE OR FALL OF AN IMPORTANT GANGSTER/LEADER OF A VIOLENT, CRIME ORGANISED GROUP. IN THIS CASE; MARCELLUS WALLACE HAD HIS FALL WHEN HE AND THE BOXER WERE CAUGHT BUY TWO PERVERTS WHICH RAPED MARCELLUS. AFTER THAT MARCELLUS WENT PRETTY MUCH DOWNHILL.
-STREET-GANGSTERS: IN GANGSTER MOVIES, THE STREET-GANGSTERS WHICH USUALLY WORK FOR THEIR BOSS ARE MATERIALISTIC, STREET SMART AND INMORAL. AlTHOUGH THE STREET GANGSTERS IN THIS MOVIE LIKE VINCENT FOLLOW TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THESE RULES, I BELIEVE THAT TARANTINO CHANGED UP THE RULES FOR HIS CRIME MOVIE AND MADE IT SO HIS CHARACTERS HAD DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE QUALITIES THAT STAND OUT FROM THE REST.
-THE RIVALRY PLOT: LIKE EVERY GANGSTER ORGANIZATION, THEY HAVE A CERTAIN WAY OF MAKING MONEY, JUST LIKE MARCELLUS WALLACE IN WHICH CREATES ONE OF THE 2 PLOTS IN THE MOVIE WHEN HIS DEAL WITH BUCH IS TERMINATED AFTER FAILING TO LOOSE A FIGHT. THESE FIGHTS AND SHOOTINGS THAT BOTH CHARACTERS HAD TOGETHER, IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE TIPICAL FIGHT SCENES THAT THERE ALWAYS IS.
