The broken narration which Tarantino used was something most people had never seen when Pulp fiction came out thus making it (as far as I can recall) the first feature film ever to use it through its whole length.
In which, IMO didn't really hold up, going back re watching the whole thing, it kinda feels disjointed and disconnected, tho in Tarantino's defense, I think each of the chapters are to be taken as a single narrative within each of the characters and not to form an overarching plot. (Though, IMO there's still a plot, but not in the traditional sense)
The charachters are always talking, interacting and moving the plot.
IMO, there were parts of this that feels boring at times, as if Tarantino wanted his characters to talk for the sake just talking (tho you can say that, these scenes of talking, makes the characters believable and more relatable)
The soundtrack was amazing, and the directing and screenplay were the best part in the movie(Tarantino won a Oscar for the script)
Yeah, both the soundtrack and the script are amazing, each of the characters are like walking thesaurus lol.
Aswell the acting was amazing.
QT's acting was kinda cringey, but overall yeah great performances from the cast.
It’s a movie that doesn’t have much depth or messages like Fight Club for example but still everything works and it’s amazing.
QT will always be "style over substance". Tho there are certain elements in his films that you may consider as "have depth or message", for example, the pub scene in "Inglorious Basterds", where the German SS officer equated King Kong to the African slavery in the US.
It will stands out as one of the greatest movies of all time any year, I think it wins this match due to being more rewatchable.
Yup, Pulp Fiction is up there with the all time greats, unconventional storytelling and compelling characters, but IMO Goodfellas was the better film overall, IMO the only edge that PF have is the dialogue but everything else, Goodfellas just wins it for me, more fleshed out characters (I felt that every character in PF acted in "the rule of cool", the dialogue made them more believable but overall the characters in Goodfellas are more relatable and more "real") , more memorable soundtrack, better camerawork, better editing, better story, etc.
Going all by these, I think Goodfellas has the more rewatchability.
