The Cause Of Violence In Pulp Fiction

Improved Essays
I do not believe that Pulp Fiction will inspire more violence in the community. I believe that people decide to do violent actions on his or her own. Producers should not have to produce a movie that is not violent because they are worried about other peoples’ actions. There will always be a chance that someone will recreate a violent scene from a movie and use it reality. I believe that Pulp Fiction would serve as a cleansing experience. The film does have good and parts, but I believe the good out ways the bad. At the end reading Jules helped Pumpkin and Honey Bunny because, he knew that a life a violence is not the best life and you can not live that life forever.
When Jules stated that he would give Honey Bunny and Pumpkin the money and

    Auteur theory is the theory of filmmaking in which the director is regarded as the key creative force in a film. Dubbed by American film critic Andrew Sarris in France during the late 1940’s, auteur theory was an outgrowth of the cinematic theories of Andre Bazin and Alexandre Astruc. This theory states that the director, who oversees all visual and audio elements of a film, is considered somewhat of an ‘author’ of a film more so than the writer of the screenplay. This means that visual elements such as blocking lighting, camera placement and angles as well as scene length deliver the message of the film, rather than the plot. To qualify as an auteur, a director must showcase technical competence, personal style, and interior meaning.…

    Sicario, a thriller starring Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro, and Josh Brolin, opened in theaters nationwide this week to warm reviews, as well as controversy. Sicario finds Kate Macer (Blunt), a straight-laced F.B.I. agent thrown into a world of high-intensity, life-or-death scenarions, as she ahs been recruited into a cartel-busting task force led by Matt Graver (Brolin), and associate Alejandro (Del Toro), who are at the opposite end of the personality spectrum from Macer; they are unorthodox in appearance and demeanor, and view the lines of legality and morality as blurred. Sicario is a thriller, and as the name (which translates to "hitman" or "assassin"_ implies, there is graphic violence in the film, but Sicario isn 't a shoot 'em up, blow up everything in sight kind of film. Sicario is an old-school thriller, with suspense, twists and turns, and violence as it relates to the serious subject of drug wars; and it is all done in an effort to create a film that is authentic.…

    Part of the beauty of modern cinema lies within its ability to visually depict the culture and society of any given period of time; it can combine history or science with action and emotion to create an authentic ambience. Not all of these depictions, however, are accurate portrayals of the reality of the situations featured in the given film; in those cases, the work reflects a version of the truth altered by the filmmaker and accepted by the audience. In Quentin Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction, the use of hyperreal violence and racial stereotypes reflects upon the attitudes of modern American society. By the 1990’s, a number of filmmakers had taken to hyperreal violence for use as a critical cinematic device.…

    I. Introduction Darkness is an empty word. At least it is until it has context and meaning thrust upon it. Film noir is a name given to a series of films which originated in the United States around the 1940s. These films often followed a formula involving darkness, mysterious and troubled characters, nihilistic undertones, and a confound unfolding of the passage of time. Breathless, directed by Jean Luc Godard, was somewhat of a French-made parody of these American films, for instance, the main character, Michel, attempting to molding himself after Humphrey Bogart, and his lover, Patricia, encompassing the role of a femme fatale.…

    This essay will aim to explore the ways in which themes of societal breakdown and honour are defined through violence in both Ovid’s The Tale of Philomela and Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus . Violence is not used here as a single broad term, for in both texts there is clear delineation between masculine and feminine violence, and again between honourable and dishonourable violence. To quote Jessica Lugo, “Shakespeare’s Ovidian precursor delivers a tale of gore that develops the themes of barbarism and silence. In Titus, Shakespeare roots out the essence of Ovid’s characters, exposes their most primal motivations, and establishes a partnership with the long-dead poet.” It is also the aim of this essay to explore how Shakespeare employs and expands upon the violence described in his “Ovidian precursor” to highlight his themes of societal breakdown and honour in the setting of ancient Rome.…

    The introduction of video game platforms that allow game creators to portray any action they choose on screen with lifelike realism is a concept once unimaginable, however within the past few decades monumental advances have been made in the digital arts. With the newfound power to create such lifelike realism, game designers often turn to death and violence as a basis for their games due to the popularity of such grim topics. Ratings have been placed on such material in attempt to protect the youth. There are blurred lines, however, on what exactly young people should be shielded from; and how use should be sectioned to allow for maturity throughout children’s development. Violence is often brushed off as unneeded, unnecessary or as simply…

    I personally enjoyed the film, although they suggested the events that were to occur later, I kept watching with enthusiasm because I wanted to see how they would play out. The diction that the brothers used throughout the film created a negative attitude towards them, although Winthorpe and Billy Ray were the ones to be involved in a legal mess, other characters gained sympathy. Ophelia and Coleman were the ones I was rooting for, they had a job of taking care of others needs from the beginning of the film, and were taken advantage of without receiving appreciation. The wealthy characters such as Penelope and her friends, through the diction and the events were not very liked. The story plaid on a serious issue, which was people’s overwhelming need to consume no matter who or how many people they took advantage of.…
