Diner Scene - Pulp Fiction Re-edited 

Pulp Fiction: The Chronological Edit Fanedit Entry:

This is part of my Chronological Re-edit of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
This scene takes place right after Vincent and Jules get rid of the car about 40 minutes into the film and ends the first episode of "The Bonnie Situation". The complete re-edit is stuctured as follows:
Butch's childhood memories - Title sequence - The Bonnie Situation - Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace's Wife - The Gold Watch - Credits
I really tried to keep the continuous time structure of both scenes intact. When Yolanda talks about the Hero-Factor in the original scene, you can hear Jules saying "Well yeah!" in the backround and so I edited the two parts together. Same with Vincent going off to take a shit, he is visible behind Yolanda in the original scene.
It is really interesting to analyse the difference of the original achronilogical editing to this one, where the two dialogues play out simultaneously. Here is an incomplete list of my thoughts about that:
- You gain suspense, because you don't know that Yolanda and Ringo are going to rob the place.
- On the other hand, you lose suspense, which is created by knowing what Yolanda and Ringo are going to to and revealing that it is the same diner in which Vincent and Jules are sitting, by intercutting Ringo calling for coffee in the original scene.
- You lose the intimacy of watching the conversation of only two people.
- It is harder to follow two dialogues at once.
- By intercutting Jules into the kiss of Yolanda and Ringo, you get an additional level of Jules' emotions, maybe thinking about his love or how he misses having one.
Let me know, what you think about it.
