Exclusive | Pulp Fiction star on legacy of mad genius Quentin Tarantinos film 3 decades later: Well know in 100 years

Somehow, Quentin Tarantino combined “Breaking Bad” with Larry David.And he delivered “Pulp Fiction.” “Breaking Bad” features scenes that leave you downright gobsmacked, and “Pulp” is rife with them – Mia’s overdose, Butch’s girlfriend forgetting his watch, Marvin being shot in the face and the ultimate scene of the robbery at the diner where Vincent and Jules are eating. But like “Seinfeld” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” David’s creations, “Pulp” incorporates a series of interesting, off-beat conversations: the importance of a foot massage, whether women with pot bellies are sexy, if a pig (or a dog) is considered a filthy animal and if a pig (like a dog) can have enough personality to offset such a characterization.Those conversations might be between Jules (Samuel L.

Jackson) and Vincent (John Travolta).Or Butch (Bruce Willis) and Fabienne (Maria de Medeiros).

But you could see them being between Larry and Leon on “Curb.” Or between Jerry and George on “Seinfeld.”Thirty years ago on October 14, 1994, “Pulp Fiction” hit theaters in the US, arriving both before and after David’s heyday (“Seinfeld” debuted in 1989, “Curb” in 2000) and 14 years ahead of Vince Gilligan’s “Breaking Bad” (2008).Tarantino’s visionary masterpiece turned three people into stars (Jackson, Uma Thurman and Tarantino himself), initiated the comeback of a fourth (Travolta) and introduced some of the most memorable scenes and dialogue of the last three decades.“Introduced” is frankly the wrong word. Instead, “some of the most memorable scenes and dialogue of the last three decades exploded into cinema like Marvin’s head when Vincent blew it off.”“Pulp Fiction” is a legacy movie.

Tarantino has directed other films (“Reservoir Dogs,” “Django Unchained,” “Inglourious Basterds,” “Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood”), but there’s no question that “Pulp” is the movie with which he’s most associated.�...
