interpretive Analysis of Pulp Fiction(1994)
How does Quentin Tarantinos Pulp Fiction(1994)deploy alternative plot and stylistic structures to reconfigure the elements of classical Hollywood narrative and its visual style?
1. CONTENT:In order to identify and analyze the ways in which Pulp Fictionbreaks the rules of classical Hollywood narrative and style you may first want to explain what the classical conventions are and what they aim to achieve. For example, the classical Hollywood narrative has a clear set-up, conflict,and resolution, which allow audiences to get absorbed in the story as they identify with the main character and forget they are watching a movie. Pulp Fiction, however, deploys alternative plot structures to organizeits narrative. Indeed, the movie reorganizes its narrative into an episodic one, with multiple narrative threads and charactersdemandinga different engagement from the audience. Instead of getting fully immersed in the films world, this kind of active engagement tends to make the audience aware that they are watching a film and think about its narrative and visual stylesas well as their effects.In your essay you will therefore want to address Pulp Fictions narrative and visual styles as well as account for their effects.
