    Alan Stone's Pulp Fiction

    • 841 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Analysis of Pulp Fiction by Alan Stone Alan Stone states his thesis as “Pulp Fiction is already building a cult following‚ even as its mother-fucker language and graphic violence offends others” (610).

    One of my favorite aspects regarding Tarantino style is how he chooses to exclude characters or their faces from shots.

Ultimately the effect of this shot is building up Marcellus and giving him an intimidating aura. Tarantino does a similar style of shot when introducing
