Pulp Fiction

A 1994 Quentin Tarrantino directed movie featuring a host of stars including Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta, Frank Wahley, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, Hervery Keitel and Quentin Tarrantino himself who also is the co-writer of the film, the other being Roger Avary.
The movie co-relates some apparently detached incidents and I was able to follow it due to my knowledge of most of its parts from Wikipedia.
It starts with a plan of robbery of a diner by the couple Pumpkin and Honey Bunny and directs away to the life of two underworld assasins Jules and Vincent Vaga whose paths takes different turns due to their different philosophy to life in general.
Also there is the story of an aged prize fighter Butch whose fortunes and misfortunes combine to present him with a possible happy retire life.
In between there are characters like the mob boss Marsellus who gets the lesson of a life time, the cool Winston Wolf (I liked this person best) with his fast and efficient clean-ups, the freak drug dealer Lance and his equally freak and his obsessed-at-body-piercing wife Jody, the drug addict but fun loving Mrs. Mia Macellus and the never-appearing-but-possesing-a-stiff-character Mrs. Bonnie and his wife Jimmy.
The movie finishes off with the incidents following the robbery and the viwers gets explanation of each event satisfactorily.
I have not seen many movies like this but feel you can enjoy the story if patiently viewed!
