7:31 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 playing the wanted. yeah. who wouldn't pop fixing, 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 real world, about history,
7:32 pm
about politics of a big ideas. pope fiction wasn't like that whole fiction felt like a movie and pretty trashing of a fax. it took recycle characters and story lines from a 1000 crime films we've already seen. so we have 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 was defense. a tall meal was the
7:33 pm
story, a book, a noble boxer who went through his fine siber 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 portable movie lines. you know what they call a quarter pounder, with cheese. the metric system. what are they going to chop or baby to say, then did baby did that and unless references to pop

culture, nobody's going to hurt anybody. we're all going to be like 3 little find these here . and once finds the like a hi yolanda watch by the lights. cool. well, cool with the window. and that's what we're going to be. we're going to be cool. hope fiction does not have a film score. instead, we have a series of needle drops the movies the sometimes the songs play with in the world of the characters. and they even sing along the
7:35 pm
sometimes the phones or outside the store used ironically to comment on a c, the, the violence in 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? i did do that. i didn't mean to do as an accident by 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 or artistic approach known as post modern the pets which it wasn't the 1st post modern film. but it was the film that will bring this artistic move to the
7:36 pm
movie main street. the post modern is them is a rebellious idea that comes from french philosopher select these all plus while they are top. and john boldly. yeah. and from american critics, like frederick game is 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,
7:37 pm
pearl marks the peoples are saying they are involved reinterpreting what came before. even reinterpreting, previous iterations of themselves as pop artists to make art that will itself become grist for the cultural mill of the future. that's post modern fiction is post modern cinema from tip to tell, instead of one grand story to tell multiple narratives from different perspectives even from different movies, genres, the gangster film, the musical romance. before moving it copies directly from the center of the past. the glowing briefcase seen echoes and almost identical image from fifty's. the wire has to be definitely the street crossing. double take. you folks have similar shot from alfred hitchcock's classic psych
7:38 pm
fingers and the daunted square sight gag. come straight from old cartoons. let's watch what we see christopher walk in, playing a vietnam that talking to bush about is that dad sacrifice to watch. it's on you daddy's rest and it was shut down. anyway, we think last about the vietnam war, then about the vietnam war, movies like the dear 100, also starring christopher walken. this is what post modernist called hyper reality, art, imitation of artistic reality. the copy of a copy can feel more real than the thing 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 in the dining, pumpkin and honey bunny plan the robbery. and then we meet philosophical hit that vincent and jewels cheeseburgers and killed the thieves. we've sold the bosses
7:39 pm
blowing briefcase at the bar. marcellus tells box of which the throat is exploit. 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 hearing the story of his dad's gold watch, butcher 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 the marcellus forgives booked for not throwing the spice and butch and his girlfriend right off on said chop. then we go back to the pre k. c. vincent and jewels for 5 being shot. driving home, they mess up the car with a dead body and the width is called to clean things up. later having breakfast, the car and the pumpkin honey by the robbery. known good shot. and they leave roll
7:40 pm
credits. but chronologically, the film is all out of order. the dyna robbery actually happens in the middle, the suitcases, then the walls and the clean up row. 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 butchery calls his dad's watch story and wins this fight. the next day, which goes to his apartment, kills vincent stays marcellus gets the girl and rides off into the sunset instead of one straight story pulp. fiction is a postmodern cook, coughing, a multiple timelines and multiple perspectives. major characters and one tail are just big players in other field undermines the whole idea that there is one big story. one big narrative that can explain everything which is most famous. post modern remax training, old culture into something new,
7:41 pm
comes in the movies iconic. dancing to the dance is pure post modernism reading. and the parents, you know, 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 own 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 public option. dance is a mattress and ultimate re max of all the culture that's impacted and inspire. quinton guarantee, you know, the
7:42 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's the, the eating testing 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 it parents he noticing we also women, 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
7:43 pm
the company, 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 that back because many of the films parents you know, chooses to borrow 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 his characters often leaned heavily on the n word. did you notice a sign up in front of my house? he said, good storage, jimmy, you've seen that remains hard to watch parenting to cast himself reading the main black character with a stream of racial courses. you know why you didn't see that side? what does it mean there to story? are they my business?
7:44 pm
that's why this isn't just the pope fiction thing. guarantee uses the n word 38 times in jackie brown. and a john dropping a $110.00 times in his black, western jango on chain the spike lee, another giant of independent cinema colo parenting for the 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 violence. it's not just that there's so much of that. it's of violence is often played for laughs for me to sing cool guarantee those arguments. a very post modernist argument is that
7:45 pm
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 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 retract. guarantee you know,
7:46 pm
now says he knew about some of the abuse allegations at the time and that he should have spoken out the love it or hate it. you can't argue with pulp fiction success. it wasn't indeed 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, have sent a fine fiction turn cult movies. the big business it was the 1st old in the blockbuster made for just over $8000000.00. pulp fiction gross more than
7:47 pm
200000000 at the box office worldwide. more than any are rated in the film before 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 sold the or the wave assembly

7:49 pm
travolta. 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 topped 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 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 artists, high and low. the ninety's. so we've of pulp fiction imitators for summer. good. some were bad and some were very,
7:50 pm
very ugly. they would use the same pallet of hip dialogue, 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 phones because who be doing this for doing it for me. so you need to know, you know, because you may just say one of those on a need to know basis things as a like one of those james bond sales guy ritchie gave guarantee,
7:51 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 one to name. i know this course meaning us together. this taught a comes young i needed to speak and pulp fiction. got a german translation via action comedy knocking on having the store with both books and 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. so the directors who came after him well, now living in the post modern universe made possible by clinton county nose pulp fiction. but some filmmakers are trying to look beyond
7:52 pm
30 years after pulp fiction post modern self referential movies are everywhere. to 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 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 know everything they plan to some child blow out party

with all the parties and plant choreography and of his focus on this stuff. all right, so cool is if we are all and alvin, some 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 forward in line, usually die. at 1st glance. 2023. oscar winter. everything everywhere. all at once seems to be playing the same old post modern games. as pulp fiction every, it puts pop culture referencing into overdrive zapping between films on or 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 you
7:54 pm
spec subscriber. and you we are suppose to take these character seriously as real people, even as they are saturated, nearly drowning in outside media influence the day 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 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 modem, 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, defined, reading from within our own personal digital information overload. you can call this modern isn't 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
