the mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the 30 years ago, a film debut would change movies forever. it was a mass of trashy and classy cinema traditions 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,
2:31 pm
the 2nd film from clinton parent tina was less of reinvention of cinema and a re mix of old tropes and a new style. but it hit the movie world like a shock of address the abuse anybody everybody wanted. yeah. who wouldn't talk? fixing premiered in 1994, it felt a bit different than the other movies that can, that year the, they were mostly class a european or how square like birth by the sun, 3 colors red films, supposedly about the real world, about history, about the politics of a big idea of the whole section was it like that whole fiction felt like
2:32 pm
a movie and pretty trashing. at that, it took recycled characters and story lines from a 1000 crime films we've already seen the so we had the story of the to hit man on their final job jewels winfield and then some vague, the, the story of the mysterious, all powerful gangster or sell us waltz best pri, pride that god damn the story, the gangsters was defense. a tall meal was the
2:33 pm
story of which i know the boxer who went through his fine siber and the story of a professional fixer who cleans operate this message. situations here is how much some of the stuff problems the actors and 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 to chop a baby. who said, then did baby did that and, and lis references to pop culture. nobody's going to hurt anybody. we're all going
2:34 pm
to be like 3 little find these here, and what's funds the like? oh, yolanda, what about the like, what cool, what 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 vehicle the sometimes the songs play with in the world of the characters. and they even sing along the
2:35 pm
sometimes the songs are outside the store used ironically to comment on a c, the of the violence and pulp fiction is both extreme and often absurd. i mean, to think that god came down from heaven and stopped the mentorship melvin in the face. why don't you do that? i didn't mean to do as an accident by themselves. none of these elements were new. it was out here and do you know, re mixed these old styles, creating a movie world that is entirely self referential or artistic approach known as the post modern post, 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.
2:36 pm
the post modernism is a rebellious idea that comes from french philosophers like this all plus why little talk and john bulkley. yeah. and from american critics like frederick james, post modernism in art means challenging the concept that there is 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. basically no distinction between high are 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,
2:37 pm
the beatles are saying they are involved reinterpreting. what came before. even reinterpreting previous iterations of themselves as pop artists to make are that will, will become grist 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 details multiple narratives from different perspectives even from different movies, genres, the gangster film, the musical romance, the horror movies. it copies directly from the center of the past. the glowing briefcase seen echoes and almost identical image from fifty's. the wire gives me depth the street crossing double take you folks a similar shot from alfred hitchcock's classic psych you can just and the dotted square site gag come straight from old cartoons as much
2:38 pm
when we see christopher walk and playing a vietnam that talking to bunch about is that dad sacrifice scratch, it's on your daddy's wrist. never shut down. and why? we think less about the vietnam war than about vietnam war movies like the dear 100 . also sorry, christopher walken. this is what post modernists call, hyper, reality, arts, invitation of artistic reality. the copy of a copy can feel more real, the listing itself maybe the most post modern thing about pulp fiction. the one thing everyone notices is it's non linear story. okay, pay attention. here's the plot, the pulp fiction. we start the medina, pumpkin and honey bunny plan the robbery, and then we meet philosophical hit, the vincent and jewels, the cheeseburgers and kill the thieves. was told of office blowing briefcase. at
2:39 pm
the bar, marcellus tells box of which the throw has expired. vincent vice heroine before taking me out for a date, a dance, and a $5.00 milkshake. back home t overdose is on his hair one, but it's saved by shot of adrenalin to the heart. we flash back to purchase a kid during the story of his dad's gold watch, which wins the 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 marseilles, forgives, but for not throwing a spice and butch and his girlfriend right off on said chop. then we go back to the pre k. c. vincent and juice of 5 being shot, driving home, they mess up the car with a dead body and the world is called to clean things up. later having breakfast, the cost and the pumpkin honey buddy, robbery. known get shot, and they leave roll credits. but chronologically,
2:40 pm
the film is all out of order. the dyna robbery actually happens in the middle, the suitcases, then the wolf and the clean up were all before them. after the cafe robbery, marcellus tells bush to throw his bike in some buys drugs and goes out on his. they would meet on that same night which recalls his dad's watch. story, and winds is fine. the next day, which goes to his apartment, kills vincent stays marcellus gets the girl and rides off into the sunset. instead of one st. story pulp. fiction is a postmodern could coughing a multiple timelines and multiple perspectives. major characters in one tail are just big players in other field undermines the whole idea of if there's one big story, one big narrative that can explain everything which is most famous. post modern remax training, old culture, and it's something new. comes in the movies iconic. dancing
2:41 pm
to the dance is pure post modernism reading. and the parent 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 publication dance is a mattress and ultimate re max of all the culture that's impacted and inspire. quinton guarantee, you know, the
2:42 pm
goal 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 fiction was and remains controversial as much for with parenting or says as for the company
2:43 pm
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? no, no, no, no, no, no, no. because many of the films parents you know, chooses to grow from are black split patient movies of the 1970s films like shot 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. no cast themselves grading the main black character with a stream of racial courses. you know why you 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. parenting i use
2:44 pm
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, called out parenting for his use of the racial slurs the . but samuel l jackson, who is worked with both directors defense guarantee, you know, saying he writes intelligent and complex black character. the another problem for many in pulp fiction 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,
2:45 pm
is that on screen violence has nothing to do with real movie violence in parenting of view is not much different than the dance sequence. it's just another set amount of technique designed to dazzle the shock porch entertain the to one aspect of pulp. fiction is legacy is harder to dismiss producer harvey weinstein parenting a work 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 moving. 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
2:46 pm
have spoken out the love it or hate it. you can't argue with pulp fiction success. it wasn't in the blockbuster that transformed the movie business. there were american indian films before care and teen 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 care and tino picked up his camera. but before tarantino, 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 blog posts 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
2:47 pm
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, one big fast that was released on more than a 1000 theaters 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 sold the the way of this
2:48 pm
is one of the media and it is best to data sheet. the give me advice. i want that fight, which by the out the there's a high speed for so in sierra and then this execution type deal. yeah. i'd be very surprised. device aspect was from breeders. the was pulp fiction county no more than just revive the hollywood career of john travolta. the blockbuster success of his trashy little film helped open away for
2:49 pm
filmmakers as diverse as west anderson and spike jones. christopher nolan and paul thomas anderson helped their weird visions enter the main street. today there's no denying pope fictions in the movies. impact is seen every the pope fiction may have started as an in the alternative film. but the movies iconic imagery has long since entered the main stream, large new wherever they are. part of the fabric of modern pop culture referenced in cartoons and tv shows, 2 sided are honestly, are not by artist high and low. the ninety's. so we've of pulp fiction imitators, summer, good. some were bad and somewhere very, very ugly. they would use the same pallet of hip dialogue,
2:50 pm
jumbled story chronology, and nasty stylized violence to tell their stories on screen. to style has become so influential in 2018, the oxford english dictionary added the word parents, you know, ask to it's lexicon. both sections influence was global mixed and drama. morris parents uses tarantino s techniques, including multiple strand storytelling. and non linear narrative shows the gulf who were doing this for you who are doing it for me. so you need to know, you know, because you need to see one of those on a need to know basis things as a like one of those james bond sales guy richard gave guarantee,
2:51 pm
knows slick pump savvy dialogue and over the talk movie violence, a british accent cut on this, thank you to come in to get the most comfortable getting us together because taught the comes on i needed to speak a and pulp fiction. got a german translation via action comedy. nothing on having the store with both kitchen parents, you know, cross reference and put, noted the movie and tv culture, but his child only to see his movie become a cinematic lexicon. so the directors who came after him well now living in the post modern universe made possible by quinton guarantee knows pulp fiction. but some filmmakers are trying to look beyond the 30 years after pulp fiction post. modern self referential movies are everywhere. to
2:52 pm
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 diehard. now as i was, this is known. kids animation is full of movie references. even though the audience is working, kids we have often are not seeing 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 know everything they plan to some child blow out party with all the parties and plan choreography and of his focus on this stuff. all right, so cool. this is, if we are all now, vinson, 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 i'm really at 1st glance 2023 oscar winner. everything everywhere. all at once, seems to be playing disabled. post modern gains as pulp fiction and it puts pop culture referencing into overdrive zapping. between films. genre is like a hyper active kid, surfing the internet too much. can you believe in a ticket through the sentiment at the heart of the film, however, it can you hear all the we can see huge specs. right?
2:54 pm
we're supposed to take these characters seriously as real people, even as they are saturated, nearly drowning in outside media influence the say the british director joanna hall takes a similar if far less hectic approach in her film, the souvenir part to read it in it. you read tells the story of her real life test and from the ordinary, one of my favorite policies about yes, i completely, nothing seems to me who is quite dark to the extremely traumatic for life in this deception. this filtering it all through the cinematic means that cog as the director is using to process these buildings use many of the same tricks as parenting now, but you'd never call them tarantino ask particularly
2:55 pm
instead they are using post modern. this methods to more accurately capture the felt experience of life for many of us at this moment we're all of us are struggling to find reading from with, in our own personal digital information overload. or you can call this mental modernism, or hyper modernism, or even post posts. but whatever shape cinema is in now, whatever stories the next generation of directors once to tell and whatever forms they decide to use to tell them any search for the origin of today's movie, medical must inevitably lead back to a scrappy, little in detail. the premier then can 30 years of the
