9:30 am
me to bring you the story behind the news. we ruled about unbiased information. for 3 months. the 30 years ago, a film debuted the change movies forever. it was a mash of trashy in class, the cinema traditions, the transformed how we make watch and talk about. so a movie whose impact continues to be felt across pop culture. that movie was called fiction. the
9:31 am
the 2nd film from clinton parent tina was less of reinvention of cinema then a re mix of old tropes and a new style. but hit the movie world like a shock of a drawer and the v as anybody. everybody playing the wanted. yeah. who wouldn't pop? fiction, premiered in 1994. it felt a bit different than the other movies that can, that year the, they were mostly class the european or how square like birth by the sun. 3 colors red films, supposedly about the real world. about history, about politics of a big idea. the whole section wasn't like that whole fiction felt like
9:32 am
a movie and pretty trashing of that. it took recycled characters and story lines from a 1000 crime films. we've already seen the, so we have the story of the to hit man on their final job fuels winfield and then some vague, the, the story of the mysterious, all powerful gangster marcellus wallace. that's cry. pry . god damn the story, the gangsters likes defense, a tall meal was the
9:33 am
story, a book, a noble box or who didn't throw his bike, sideboard and the story of a professional fixer who cleans. i've read this messy situations. here is how much some of the problems the actors in pulp fiction act as if their characters and a movie with snappy and instantly quotable movie lines. you know what they call a quarter pounder, with cheese. the metric system they call it the chopper baby. said then did baby did this and endless references to pop culture. nobody's going to hurt anybody. we're all
9:34 am
going to be like 3 little find these here. and once finds the like. oh yolanda, what's bother like, what's cool with the window and that's what we're going to be. we're going to be cool. pulp fiction does not have a film score. instead, we have a series of needle drops the the, sometimes the songs play with in the world of the characters. and they even sing along the
9:35 am
sometimes the phones or outside the story used ironically to comment on a scene the of the violence and pulp fiction is both extreme and often absurd. i mean, do you think that god came down from heaven and stopped the mentorship moment? in the face to do that, i didn't mean to do as an accident, but themselves. none of these elements were new. it was out here in tino re mixed these old styles, creating a movie world that is entirely self referential, artistic approach known as post modern pets, which it wasn't the 1st post modern film. but it was the film that will bring this artistic move to the movie main street.
9:36 am
the post modernism is a rebellious idea that comes from french philosophers likely, jones plus while they are top. and john boldly. yeah. and from american critics like frederick james, post modernism in art, means challenging the concept that there's one reality or one big story to explain the world. post modern artist can make are out of anything. a pike, a urinal, even a dead sharp. they see no distinction between high earth and pop culture and they see their own work as inseparably intertwined with the art of their past. a perfect example is the beatles sergeant pepper album cover. the band stands before a crowd of their inspirations, artistic, historic, and political. marilyn monroe and bob dylan, marlon, brando, karl marx,
9:37 am
the beatles are saying there are, involves reinterpreting, what came before. even reinterpreting, previous iterations of themselves as pop artists to make are that will, it will become brisk for the cultural mill of the future. that's post modern. pope fiction is post modern cinema from tip to tell, instead of one grand story to tell multiple narratives from different perspectives even from different movie genres. the gangster film, the musical romance before moving it copies directly from the center of the past. the going briefcase seen echoes and almost identical image from fifty's. the wire. he has to be down the street crossing double take you folks a similar shot from alfred hitchcock's classic psych fingers and the daunted square site gag. come straight from old cartoons as much
9:38 am
when we see christopher walk in, playing a vietnam that talking to bush about is that dad sacrifice to watch. sonya daddy's wrist and he was shot down. and why? we think last about the vietnam war than about vietnam war movies like the dear 100 also sorry, christopher walken. this is what post modernist called hyper reality arts imitation of artistic reality. the copy of a copy can feel more real than the thing itself. maybe the most postmodern thing about pulp fiction, the one thing everyone notices is it's non linear story. okay, you pay attention. here's the plot, the pulp fiction. we start in the diner pumpkin and honey bunny plan the robbery. and then we meet philosophical hit that vincent and jewels, the cheeseburgers, and kill the thieves. we sold the bosses flowing briefcase at the bar. marcellus
9:39 am
tells box of which to throw his expert. vincent buys heroin before taking me out for a date, a dance, and a $5.00 milkshakes. back home t overdose is on his hair when, but it's saved by shot of adrenalin to the heart. we flash back to purchase, acquitted, hearing the story of his dad's gold watch, which windsor spikes retrieves his dad's gold watch from his apartment. but there he surprises, vincent and kills escaping. he and marcellus are captured by sadistic hillbillies, but bush and his samurai sword save the marseilles for gives bush for not throwing his fight and bush and his girlfriend. right off on said strop. then we go back to the briefcase. see vincent jewels for 5 being shot. driving home, they messed up the car with a dead body and the workers called to clean things up. later having breakfast, the car and the pumpkin. honey bunny, robbery. known good shot, and they leased roll credits. but chronologically,
9:40 am
the film is all out of order. the dyna robbery actually happens in the middle, the suitcases, then the wolf and the clean up for all before that. after the cafe robbery, marcellus tells bush to throw his bike in somebody's drugs and goes out on his day with me. on that same night, what recalls his dad's watch story, edwards is fine. the next day, which goes to his apartment, kills vincent saves marcella gets the girl and rides off into the sunset. instead of one st story pulp. fiction is the post modern could coughing of multiple timelines and multiple perspectives. major characters in one tail are just big players in other the field undermines the whole idea that there's one big story, one big narrative that can explain everything which is the most famous post modern remax trading old culture. and to something new comes in the movies iconic. dancing to
9:41 am
the dance is pure post modernism reading here in keynote is stealing from classic cinema and pop culture to create a newly iconic moment. a movie magic director says he drew inspiration from disney cartoons and from his only guitar, making no distinction between high and low culture. some of the scenes dance moves come directly from an old episode of the batman t v series. others from police classic film 8 and a half the but the public option. dance is a mattress and ultimate re mix of all the culture that's impacted and inspire. quinton guarantee, you know, the
9:42 am
whole this is taking place inside jack rabbits lives. a themed restaurant where all the employees are copies of pop culture icons from marilyn monroe and buddy holly to james the the even casting john travolta as been some vega is post modern. since watching travel to dance, pulls up cultural memories of the actor in his most famous movie roles is the zip parents, you know, saying we all swim in this pop culture ocean. and the best way to understand this world is by re mixing and reinterpreting, the pop culture that made us pop fiction was and remains controversial as much for with parenting or says as with the company to keep the the critics of pulp

fiction. see a movie with no original ideas, just cut and paste job a films that came before. what some post modernist, called influence, or inspiration. others think is just plain stealing one and that back. because many of the films, parents you know, chooses to grow from our black split patient movies of the 1970s films like shak super fly and coffee parents, you know, has also been accused of cultural appropriation. it hasn't health that is characters often leaned heavily on the n word. did you notice the sign at the front of my house? it's a good storage. i mean, you've seen that remains hard to watch parenting know, cast themselves reading the main black character with a stream of racial courses. you know, why you can see that side? what does it mean? there's a story. there's a much business. that's why this isn't just the pope fiction thing. guarantee uses
9:44 am
the n word 38 times in jackie brown. and a john dropping a $110.00 times in his black, western jango on train spike lea, another giant of independent cinema colo parenting for his use of the racial slurs the but samuel l. jackson, who is worked with both directors, defense parents, you know, saying he writes intelligent and complex black characters. the another problem for many impulse fictions is how the film depicts violence. it's not just that there's so much of that. it's a violence is often played for laughs for me to sing cool guarantee those arguments . a very post modernist argument,
9:45 am
is that on screen violence has nothing to do with real movie violence in care. and he knows you is not much different than a dance sequence. it's just another set amount of technique designed to dazzle the shock porter to take the one aspect of polt fictions. legacy is harder to dismiss producer harvey weinstein parenting a. worked for years with weinstein, on 8 movies all that time. it was an open secret that weinstein was allegedly assaulting and sexually harassing women, many of them actresses in his own movements. one scene was found guilty of abuse in 2 separate trials, but he has appealed, and one of jesus is now being retried. parents, you know, now says he knew about some of the abuse allegations at the time and that he should
9:46 am
have spoken out the love it or hate it. you can't argue with pulp fiction success. it wasn't in the blockbuster to transform the movie business. there were american indian films before care and tina directors, like jim germ loose, cohen brothers or david lynch, were creating weird movie worlds with multiple story lines and post modern sensibilities. long before karen tino picked up his camera. but before karen tino indeed films were more or less a niche business for a tiny audience and send a file of fiction turn caught movies in the big business. it was the 1st old in the blockbuster made for just over $8000000.00. pulp fiction gross more than 200000000 at the box office worldwide. more than any are rated in the film before
9:47 am
the traditionally in the movies in america will release slowly, starting in a few theaters and adding screens as word of mouth and critical support spread. pulp fiction, what's the big fast it was released on more than a 1000 theaters, a nationwide like a studio temple at work. whatever you think of pulp fiction? it's success created a new market for weird american films. helping directors who came before him find a broader audience and bigger box office. no, no, no no i i sold. * or the wave assembly

filmmakers as diverse as wes anderson and spike jones. christopher nolan and paul thomas anderson. top they're weird. visions enter the main street. today there's no denying pope fictions insults the movies impact the scene every the pope fiction may have started as an india alternative film. but the movies iconic imagery has long since entered the main stream. they are part of the fabric of modern pop culture referenced in cartoons and tv shows, cited ironically or not by artist high and low. the ninety's. so we've of pulp fiction imitators for summer. good. some were bad and some were very, very ugly. they would use the same pallet of hip dialogue,
9:50 am
jumbled story chronology, and nasty stylized violence to tell their stories on screen. the style has become so influential in 2018, the oxford english dictionary added the word parents, you know, ask to, it's lexicon. the whole sections influence with global mixed and drama. a more spare us uses tarantino s techniques, including multiple strand storytelling and non linear narrative shows the gulf who be doing this for you are doing it for me. so you need to know, you know, because you need to now say one of those on a need to know basis things as a like one of those james bond sales guy ritchie gave guarantee,

have marvel blockbusters filled with superheroes exchanging movie references on what my, who, who told you that star trek terminator time comp time after time quantum leap wrinkled in time, somewhere in time. a tough time is hot till the time sheets bill and ted's excellent adventure, basically any movie that deals with time travel diehards. now as i was, this is known. kids animation is full of movie references. even though the audience weren't being kids, we have often not seen the movies being quoted. the reason i know what you're thinking, he is the least qualified person to lead us and you are right. the most successful female lead movie ever is a deconstruction of a pop culture. consumerist i call. hey barbara. you can't get more post modern, and i'm not sure. i don't have anything they plan to try and blow out party with all the parties and planned choreography and of his focus on this stuff. all right, so cool. this is, if we are all now evincing vague,

walking through jack rabbit slims, surrounded by xerox versions of the stories that came before them within this postmodern image saturated copy of a copy culture. some filmmakers are trying to find a new way for mine, usually die. at 1st glance. 2023. oscar winter. everything everywhere. all at once seems to plain disabled postmodern gains as pulp fiction every, it puts pop culture referencing into overdrive zapping between films on or is like a hyper active kid surfing the entered into much things. can you believe in a ticket through the sentiment at the heart of the film, however it can you hear all the we had huge specs. right?
9:54 am
we were supposed to take these characters seriously as real people, even as they are saturated, nearly drowning in outside media influence. the way the british director, joanna hall takes a similar if far less hectic approach in her film, the souvenir part to read in it. you recount was the story of her real life and from the ordinary, one of my favorite clothes, these about us like a truly nothing seems to me who is quite dark, said to the extremely traumatic. oh, if it's a life in this deception this filtering at all to the cinematic means that cog as the director is using to process these buildings use many of the same tricks as parent tino but you'd never call them tarantino ask particularly instead they are

using post modernist methods to more accurately capture the felt experience of life for many of us at this moment, where all of us are struggling, defined reading from within our own personal digital information overload. you can call this mental modernism, or hyper modernism, or even post post. but whatever shape cinema is in now, whatever stories the next generation of directors wants to tell and whatever forms they decide to use to tell by any search for the origin of today's movie, medical must inevitably lead back a to a scrappy little in detail. the premier and can 30 years of the
