DESCRIPTION
The poster shown above corresponds to the Pulp Fiction film released in 1994.
The image shows a dark haired and blue-eyed woman lying on a bed wearing red lipstick and a black outfit. She is wearing a black top, a pair of black trousers, a pair of black-heeled shoes and a necklace similar to a locket. She has a cigarette in her right hand and a magazine in the other hand, named Pulp Fiction, the same as the poster.
She is leaning on a cushion and next to that is a gun together with her box of cigarettes.
In the background there is a lamp with a dimmed light, …show more content…
In this case the main character covers the right hand side of the poster leaving the left hand side for the title of the film.
In Kill Bill’s poster the main character is Uma Thurman as in Pulp Fiction. She is holding a katana and in Pulp fiction she can be seen with a gun. The fact that in both posters, the main character is holding a weapon, gives her a “femme fatale” style.

INTERPRETATION
My personal interpretation will be divided in two sections. The first section will be focused on the interpretation of the main character and the details will be interpreted in the second section.
The main character, Uma Thurman, seems to be a powerful woman with a strong personality based on the way she is looking at the spectator, how she is lying on the bed and the manner in which she is holding the book. In my opinion she denotes danger but also attraction. She looks confident and sure about herself. The colours used also contribute to create this sensation of danger.
The woman seems very mysterious. The mystery is created by the small elements such as the gun, the cigarette and the fact that Uma Thurman is looking at the spectator at all
