An attempt at a series where we examine various films and their cultural and political impact.
Last time we viewed and analyzed the film Ides of March, this time around I'd like to take us farther back in our cultural lexicon for a titular film from the 90's, the iconic and supercharged film Pulp Fiction.
Reams upon reams have been written regarding this film, for indeed it is a watermark test for Post Modernism, Nihilism, and even perhaps a pivot point in cultural history in the United States. Rich in symbolism, deep in meaning, even the violence where what might seem gratuitous in other films has far reaching meanings for not just the plot, characters, and theme but also should invoke introspection for the audience.
Join me after the bump for more, I promise you won't get shot in the face.
