This is definitely an amazing throwback. This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time which sometimes this surprises people for the fact that it's vulgar. bloody, and a very manly movie actually. Another reason why I love this movie is because Tarantino is one of my favorite directors, so I guess I'm a little biased.

Everything about this movie is amazing in my opinion; the character development, the plot, dialogue, the structure of the plot, the cinematography and the "oh sh*t!" moments.

The character development is amazing for the fact that Tarantino makes the characters have a life outside of the movie and his movies interconnect with each other. This movie is interconnected with Reservoir Dogs for the fact that Vincent Vega's brother is apart of that gang. The technique is also used in both of these movies.

Tarantino coined a certain technique where he doesn't tell the story in the conventional order. (Tarantino-it) It adds to the overall movie because of the revelation of information. By telling a certain plot point before you really understand the significance, emphasizes the point when it is finally truly revealed.

For example:

SPOILER! (highlight to reveal):
"Early in the movie Jules and Vincent walk into the bar wearing different clothes than they were earlier in the movie and later on in the movie you find out it is because they had an incident where Vincent accidentally blew off this other guys head off."

This movie is overall awesome and is my favorite movie of all time. Must see for everyone who love vulgarity.
