Writing exercise

Today I watched QTs masterpiece- pulp fiction which is rated as the one of the greatest black humor movies ever. After watched it I felt it’s hard to understand the meaning behind.Later I did some reflections and i figured out that it’s not necessary for movies to convey profound meanings, but can conquer our mind by its screen playing and the whimsical dialogues. Pulp Fiction’s three tales are structured to intersect and overlap at key points, even though they are not presented in chronological order. pace, Pulp Fiction is as exhausting as it is exhilarating. In between all the shootings, Mexican standoffs, and other violent confrontations exist opportunities to explore various facets of the human experience, including rebirth and redemption. With this film, every layer that you peel away leads to something deeper and richer. Tarantino makes pictures for movie-lovers, and Pulp Fiction is a near-masterpiece.
