5:30 pm
the ultimately, these terms end up becoming used as political tools to that inhibit global pace. thank you so much for the enter your thank you. the 30 years ago a film debuted but we change movies forever. it was a mash 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 pulled fiction. the
5:31 pm
the 2nd film from putting parent tina was less of reinvention of cinema. the re max of old troops and a new style. but it hit the movie world. like a shock of address the . all of these, any money everybody playing the wanted . yeah. who would hope fixing premiered in 1994? it felt a bit different than the other movies that can, that year the, they were mostly costly european or how's fair, like the birth by the sun, 3 colors read films supposedly about the real world about history, about the politics of a big ideas of fiction wasn't like that whole fiction felt like
5:32 pm
a movie and pretty trashing as a back. it took recycle characters and, 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, marcellus waltz best, pri, pride, that god damn the story, the gangsters likes defense. a tall meal was the
5:33 pm
story, a book, a noble boxer who went through his fine sideboards and the story of a professional fixer who cleans operate this messy situations. here is how much some of the problems the actors in pulp fiction act as if their characters in a movie with snappy and instantly quotable movie lines. you know what they call a quarter pounder, with cheese. the metrics of the chapter baby said then the baby did this and unless references to pop culture,
5:34 pm
nobody's going to hurt anybody. we're all going to be like 3 little find these here, and what's finds the like a hi yolanda watch by the lights pools. well, 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 movie. ready the, sometimes the songs play with in the world of the characters and they even sing along the
5:35 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.
5:36 pm
the post modernism is a rebellious idea that comes from french philosophers like these 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. they say 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,
5:37 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 sentiment of the past. the glowing briefcase seen echoes and almost identical image from fifties. 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 gig come straight from old cartoons. let's
5:38 pm
watch what we see, christopher walk and playing a vietnam that's talking to bunch about his dad sacrifice. watch. sonya daddy's wrist. never shut down. what we think last 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, the. 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, the vincent and jewels, the cheeseburgers, and killed a thieves who sold the bosses blowing briefcase at the bar. marcellus tells box of
5:39 pm
which to throw his expert, vincent bice heroin before taking me out for a date, a dance and a $5.00 milk. 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 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 then the samurai sword save the marseilles, forgives, but for not throwing a spice and butch and his girlfriend right off on said strop. and 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 wolf is called to clean things up. later having breakfast, the car and the pumpkin honey buddy robert known get shot and they leave roll credits. but chronologically,
5:40 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 day with me. 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 cook, 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, trinity old culture into something new. comes in the movies iconic. dancing
5:41 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 who's 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 mix of all the culture that's impacted and inspire. quinton guarantee, you know, the
5:42 pm
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 jane speed. 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 with the company,
5:43 pm
he keeps 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 a bit. because many of the films, parents you know, chooses to boil 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 as i did the storage unit seen that remains hard to watch parenting? no cast themselves reading 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 uses
5:44 pm
the n word 38 times in jackie brown. and a john dropping a $110.00 times in his black, western jango and change the spike lee, another giant of independent cinema called out parenting for his use of the racial slurs the but samuel l. jackson, who has worked with both directors defense guarantee, you know, saying he writes intelligent and complex black characters. the another problem for many in pulp fiction is how the film depicts viable. 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,
5:45 pm
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 porch entertain the 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
5:46 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 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
5:47 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 once the big fast it 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 or the way of this
5:48 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 ends here and then this execution type deal. yeah. i'd be very surprised by suspect was from breeders the was pulp fiction county no more than just revive the hollywood career of john travolta,
5:49 pm
the blockbuster success of his trashy little film helped open away for filmmakers as diverse as wes anderson and spike jones. christopher nolan and paul thomas anderson helped their weird visions enter the main street. today there's no denying pulp fiction into 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, new wherever 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,
5:50 pm
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 was global. mixed in drama, morris heroes 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 see one of those on a need to know basis things as a like one of those james bond sales guy ritchie gave guarantee,
5:51 pm
knows select pop savvy dialogue and over the top movie violence, a british accent cut off this, thank you to come in to get the one to name. i don't know what's called the meeting as a graduate because taught comes young. i needed to speak and pulp fiction. got a german translation via action comedy knocking on having the store with both kitchen parents, you know, cross reference and put, noted the movies and tv culture and his child only to see his movie become a cinematic lexicon. 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 30 years after pulp fiction post modern self referential movies are everywhere to
5:52 pm
have marvel blockbusters filled with superheroes exchanging movie references or whatnot. 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 were being kids, we have often are not seeing the movies being quoted. the reason i know what you're thinking is the least qualified person to lead us. and you are right, the most successful female lead movie ever is a deconstruction of the pop culture consumerist i call. hey barbara. you can't get more post modern. i'm not sure. i don't have anything the plan, just a giant blow out party with all the parties and plant choreography and of his focus on her stuff. all right, so cool is if we are all now, vinson, vague,
5:53 pm
walking through jack rabbits, lambs surrounded by xerox versions of the stories that came before them within this post modern image saturated copy of a copy culture. some filmmakers are trying to find a new way forward. line usually die. at 1st glance. 2023. oscar winter. everything everywhere. all at once seems to be playing disabled. post modern games as built fiction. every. it puts pop culture referencing into overdrive zapping between buildings on or is like a hyper active kid surfing the entered into much can you believe and effective through the sentiment at the heart of the film however is can you hear all we can see which specs, right?
5:54 pm
we are supposed to take these characters seriously as real people, even as they are saturated, nearly drowning and outside media influence the way the british director, joanna hall takes a similar if far less a hectic approach in her film, the souvenir part to read of unit to recount was the story of her real life test and from the ordinary, one of my favorite quotes he's about yes. like a truly nothing seems to me, he was quite dark to the extremely traumatic for life in this deception and filtering it all through the cinematic means that cause as the director is using to process these films, use many of the same tricks as parenting now, but you'd never call them tarantino ask, it's
5:55 pm
a huge effort. 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, defines meeting from with in our own personal digital information overload. you can call this, not a modern isn't for 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 them any search for the origin of today's movie, medical must inevitably lead back to a scrappy, little in detail, the premier and can 30 years of the
