Pulp fiction.
I think, like most of his work, you got to be really into characters, storytelling, and the interactions between characters.
I didn't really like Kill Bill because of backstory. I like his films that just start and end. You know nothing about the characters, but by the end of the story you feel like you know a lot based on their actions and interactions. Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful Eight are my favourites for this. In-depth and complicated characters and story being told, but know little to nothing outside of the snapshot in time the film takes place.
That's a very specific style of film to enjoy, so I can see why people praise Pulp Fiction while others don't or just pretend to.
I dont know, characters and story were fine it also made me cackle a cuple if times. But all combined just didnt feel quite right, something was missing. I guess I should watch it againg, maybe I could pin point it better, but it just did not live up to the hipe it was and still is getting. Kill Bill is in my eyes more interesting because of cinematography
