Jules Winnfield
The climactic diner scene in Pulp Fictionis one of the most tense in the whole movie and further cements Jules as the standout character of the movie. The story's complicated timeline shows Jules as a ruthless killer but also as a man seeking a path of peace. This final scene sees the collision of these two personalities when he comes up against the would-be robber, Pumpkin. Jules has Pumpkin at gunpoint and could easily kill him right now, but he chooses to show compassion. Not only is Jules...
Mia Wallace
There are a number of breakout performances in the movie, but Uma Thurman's Pulp Fiction performanceis unforgettable. Mia Wallace is another character who appears at the outset to be a caricature of crime movie tropes but proves to be a lot more complex than she seems. The sequence of Mia and Vincent going out for dinner together is a riveting and believable look at two strangers getting to know each other over a meal. Quentin Tarantino's masterful dialogue in the scene has moments of humor a...
Jules Winnfield
One of the most iconic lines inPulp Fiction had such an impact because of how fresh it felt for the movie. As the title suggests, Pulp Fictiontakes a look at crime stories fans are more than familiar with -- hitmen on a job, a boxer who refuses to take a dive -- but Tarantino finds interesting new ways to explore these stories. Opening the tale oftwo deadly hitmen on the way to kill some people with a conversation about European fast foodcemented Tarantino as an exciting new voice that countl...
Honey Bunny
The thing about the diner scene is how the viewer is made to wonder just what Honey Bunny and Ringo are up to until they spring into action. Honey Bunny initially comes across as more rational, even talking about how she doesn't really intend to kill anyone during these robberies. However, this idea is put to bed when, the next second, it’s Honey Bunny who begins screaming this quote like bloody murderafter just having softly professed her love for Ringo. It is a great example ofPulp Fiction'...
Jules Winnfield
Samuel Jackson's performance as Jules in Pulp Fictionis perhaps the best in the movie and one of the best in Jackson's career. One instance where the audience can really see the different levels Jackson is playing is in the apartment sequence with Brett and his friends. Jackson is able to hold the tension as he talks to the men about burgers and breakfast while still being likable. It is when he kills Brett's friend without warning that Jules becomes terrifying and his sarcastic question to B...
The Wolf
Easily one of the coolest characters ever, The Wolf dominated each scene he was in and every conversation he was a part of. By the end of his time in the film, viewers might wonder just what it was about him that made him so interesting. Wolf provided the explanation for this in his interaction with Raquel, where he pointed out to her that being respected required having character. To go further into detail, he made this simple statement, making it an eye-opener of how being a character is so...
Vincent Vega
Among one of the many mundane conversations Jules and Vincent have throughout the movie, comes a conversation about the ethics of massaging a married woman's feet, with Vincent suggesting such an act is simply someone being reckless and opening themselves up to the consequences. Ironically, Jules did take his advice in a way by retiring, while Vincent should’ve listened to his own words and exited as Jules did. Throughout the film, he was figuratively playing with matches, such as almost gett...
Butch Coolidge
Butch was the closest thing to a protagonist in the Pulp Fiction cast, as he gets the solo spotlight of his own story, showing his strange hero's journey. However, much like many of the characters in the movie, he is a flawed hero who the audience can cheer for even when he goes to some dark places. The indication of this comes much earlier than when most people would notice, though. While talking to the strange death-obsessed cab driver, Butch pretended he didn’t care that he accidentally ki...
Butch Coolidge
The cab scene between Butch and the driver Esmeralda is an underrated scene in the movie but is yet another example of the wonderful gift for dialogue that Quentin Tarantino has. These two strangers have a conversation while fleeing the scene of what turns out to be a murder. However, their topics of conversation are perfectly casual, similar to how Jules and Vincent discuss European fast food on their way to kill some people. As Esmeralda is getting to know Butch, she asks his name and then...
Marsellus
Marsellus Wallace is introduced in the movie with just the back of his head shown and he is still intimidating. Wallace lays out the plan for Butch to take a dive in his next fightand attempts to dissuade him from letting his ego interfere with their agreement. Although Marsellus had been trying to corrupt Butch into accepting his bribe, his long speech at the restaurant wasn’t exactly wrong. After all, the matter of pride was what caused Marsellus’ own problems later in the movie. If he’d ac...
