Hidden Meaning in Pulp Fiction - Earthling Cinema 

One thing I noticed with Butch.. that watch is obviously really important to him. I think the reason why, is all of his ancestors went through hell and back to keep it in the family. The same thing happens with Butch when he decides to return to his apartment, despite knowing full well that marsellus would have sent armed men to his place to kill him. He goes back anyway, he can't let his ancestors efforts to keep the watch be wasted. On his way back he meets marsellus and goes through that whole mess, all because he had to get his watch. He went through hell to get it just like his ancestors did.

Y'all didn't mention the thing about how Jule's says he's quittin cuz god spared his life, with vincent laughing at him saying its a freak occurrence, and then just later we see Vincent, who didn't quit, get blown to bits by butch?

The bathroom stuff actually blows my mind.

I have a degree in Film but frankly this is the best analysis I've seen about Pulp Fiction. Everyone else seems to imply that it's important without knowing exactly why.

Opiates cause constipation. That's why Vincent is always in the bathroom for so long.

Pulp is often found in orange juice, OJ is a typical breakfast drink. The whole movie has the most important scenes taking place around breakfast. I often think of the phrase “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. For example the opening scene occurs with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny eating at a diner for breakfast. Vincent and Jules arrive to get the briefcase in the following scene and Brett is eating Big Kahuna Burger. Jules says “Looks like we caught you two in the middle of breakfast.” The night after Butch wins the fight and meets up with his girlfriend Fabienne, she tells him how she wants blueberry pancakes with syrup for breakfast. Butch leaves and runs into Marsellus as he is crossing the street. Marsellus is carrying two coffees and a pink donut/pastry box, presumably for him and Vincent to have for breakfast. When Butch arrives at his apartment he opens up a pack of pop tarts and pops them in the toaster right before noticing Vincent’s gun and shooting him respectively. Following Marvin getting shot and disposed of we meet the Wolf. After Vincent, Jules, and the Wolf leave Jimmy’s house the wolf says to them “I’m taking my lady out for breakfast.” Finally, the ending scene is a continuation of the opening scene and now Jules, Vincent, Pumpkin, and Honey Bunny are all at the diner for breakfast.

i love how these vids are hilarious but also an honest film critique and analysis. well done

You seriously won't want to miss today's Earthling Cinema on Pulp Fiction. Seriously.

Who would destroy a world where Pulp Fiction exists!? As a fan of aliens, I've got to give this a thumbs up...

no censorship on the burger eating? come on! we didn't have to see that :(( ewwwwww

This is actually the best analysis of this movie I've ever seen. I'm going to watch Pulp Fiction again just so that I can better appreciate all that's going on.

there are two definitions for 'Pulp' 1. A type of cheap paper comics were printed on, Pulp Fiction. 2. A soft shapeless mass of matter. To me it's interesting that both definitions are relevant. The first is obvious but the second is even more interesting. What Pulp Fiction is is a series of random events as is discussed in this video. This is reflected in our lives exactly what pulp is: a shapeless mass of matter.

If the film is making the point that life is random and full of coincidence, I think it's also trivializing the consequences of that randomness. Much more than trivializing the important things and "importanizing" the trivial, it mostly just trivializes everything, covering it all under a big "it's all good" blanket. Everything seems to work out in the end. Jules and Vincent don't die when they let their guard down and get shot at, Mia doesn't die from OD, Marcellus doesn't find out about it, not only does Bonnie never find out about Marvin, but Jimmy gets a seemingly hefty restitution from Wolf for using the blankets, and Pumpkin and Honeybunny rob the one diner with the "heroes", but they keep their lives and everyone's money. Jules even lets them take his money before getting his wallet back. The most severe consequence and the one thing that would have made the biggest impact is when Vincent dies, which happens halfway through, but then we never have to deal with that loss. It only serves as a minor point in the story of Butch dodging death and ultimately getting away with it, just like the rest of the characters. Not even having to run away from consequences, mind you. Running into Marcellus and ending up in the basement of the shittiest pawn shop in LA, he gets to watch his pursuer (the major mob boss he boldly double crossed) get raped, then he gets a pardon from him right after to go live his life without fear of getting hunted down. And he gets a sweet chopper. Then we're back to following Vince around to finish the movie, literally as if nothing happened. It's like the film is saying that everything is random, but shit will end up working in your favor. That is, if you're a dickhead criminal/junkie or have the balls to try to fuck over the dickheadest of criminals. Or just fuck him, as in Mia's case. Everybody else is more likely to randomly get their head blown off.

I wish Vincent didn’t die that’s all.

wet... bread pellets...?

You didn't censor Lance eating! Disgusting humans..

"Oh I'm sorry did I break your concentration?" One of my favorite lines. I had to watch this movie a few times to understand it all but overall a good movie

You guys should do The Big Lebowski

I think pulp fiction is one of those movies that everyone says it s good just to follow the crowd because in reality they dont understand it

This show is such a good idea with the alien thing

Wisecrack Love the new show!! Keeps getting better.

The best analysis of pulp fiction. The last sentence almost killed me: “we have the power to choose (humans don’t because they’re extinct), but we do”! Awesome!

"Even in a chaotic world, we have the right to choose. ... ... ... ... ... The humans don't, 'cause they're extinct." :)

"He and the kingpin go to a pawnshop, but decide not to buy anything" I. AM. DYING.

I just realise that Jules and Vincent killed Seinfeld!!!

This series made me subscribe. Keep em coming!!!

I saw pulp fiction and didn't care for it. someone pointed me to this analysis and I realized I missed spme concepts and rewatched the movie and still do not care for it. However I can respect it

The take away from Pulp Fiction: "Even in a chaotic world, we still have the power to choose." Pulp Fiction isn't my favorite Tarantino movie, but I liked the overall message of the film and find that the end scene definitely embodies this. Thanks @Wisecrack for putting into words what I could only vaguely sense was the meaning of the film.

Wow this video was so well made. Good work wisecrack you have gained my view and like++

Excellent analysis and a significant improvement over the first in the series (fight club). I especially like how they didn't overplay the whole alien angle this time around - the key is to keep it subtle.

This is probably the best analysis of Pulp Fiction I've ever seen! Great job, can't wait for the next episode.

Glad I came across this channel, it instantly became one of my favorites! The concept is awesome, the writing is awesome, keep them coming please. I would like to see the hidden meaning of the "Predator" or any of the "Rocky" films (except the one with Antonio Tarvor lets keep that forgotten)

I had a few critique points about the first episode, so I was looking forward what they would do with the second... and they did iron them out. Be it that they listened or just happen to came to the same conclusion, it feels defintifly as if they tried to improve the show and succeeded. Excellent episode. No flaws. Keep it up!

DUDE, censor that guy putting wet bread on his mouth...that is disgusting

the concept of this channel is lit! first time seeing this, u get yourself a follower 💪

this is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I'm a huge fan of the movie and it is why I decided to watch this. When I first saw this come on I didn't expect it to be good I have to admit, but man this is one of the best reviews actually probably the best review I have ever seen on this movie. Mad respect for this, so many people miss so much about this movie.

4:51 subtitles are wrong, he said "Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead". Just thought it say

I've never encountered such a thoughtful analysis of Pulp Fiction.

Loved this episode. Humour's on top form and a greater focus on analysis

This is the possibly the most hilarious, yet the most informative and insightful video on this movie. Good job

Came from Film Theory, took 2 videos to subscribe. Nice stuffs!

lol, I spoiled the movie for myself, but I couldn't miss out on such a great video. Wisecrack is amazing, I hope they become more known!

First vid I watched, subbed from your mention at Film Theory. I normally don't like those cheap plugs, but every now and then a channel is really worth discovering and this one is it.

Amazing! It was an instant subscribe!

Wet ...bread pellets...? OMG LMAO!

"Stabbing her in the heart with a tiny sword" that was hilarious

I love this new show, excellent edition Wisecrack! XD

That was an amazing video. I've never heard this perspective on Pulp Fiction, definitely a great analysis

I just love the opening of that crumpling paper..

Love it! Possible ideas for thr future: 12 Angry Men Inglourious Basterds True Grit And ALL OF THE KUBRIC please

Everything about this channel is awesome!

I like the pointing out that time sensitive scenes are done slowly with a lack of emphasis and non sensitive is done with great emphasis, never realized that before.

I'd like to see Garyx Wormuloid talk about Galaxy Quest

Man, this is serious shit! You mentioned a lot of stuff that I never realized befone and never saw anybody mentioning! You are a genius!

I LOVED the analogy on this. Wonderful job.

Your idea of this video is brilliant!

I just realized how each story has cold blooded killers slightly redeeming r at least choosing good themselves by saving a life one way or another. It's actually quite an endearing message that even if your a bad mf who takes life you can still CHOOSE not to and do the right thing. Be the Shepard.

Pulp fiction is so good, *puts on sunglasses* it's out of this world.

I really enjoyed that, very well made. Subtle yet humourous.

you guys are my 3rd favorite movie analysis youtube channel! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Don't watch it in 1080 or 720, the whole 60 fps stuff wacks it out.

I hope Earthling Cinema becomes popular.

Seriously, the best analysis of the film I've ever watched.

I'm pretty sure this is the third time I have seen this; and I'd watch it again. All your videos are awesome! 🖒

Lost it at Garyx pronounciation of "Tarantino".

Y’all got this wrong. The main point of this film is not about chaos, it’s about redemption of character as seen with many characters, and how some do and don’t mature past their flaws, and the consequences of those choices. The trivial and chaotic setting is a great element of the movie but not the message

Very cool episode, and great analysis. I always wanted to hear what pulp fiction "meant ", and this was great

What an amazing series, thank you very much!

That's awesome. I never thought of Pulp Fiction in that way. But anyway you look at it, it's a great movie.

Loving this series far more than I should.

I just finished Pulp Fiction earlier this day. This is the first time I saw this channel. I love the concept!

this videos are really cool! I can't stop watching them!

Doesn't Jules take two lives at the beginning of the film? RIP Flock of Seagulls

Ferris Bueller's Day Off would look great on this show

Just found this channel today, subscribed!

Love everything you do! Don't stop

"Magnolia" might be interesting!

This one was great. Better than the previous by a wide margin.

Awesome series Wisecrack . Please, keep them coming.

Love this film and loved this episode! Keep them coming please! Can I suggest you do "Inception" and "Silence of the Lambs" please?

Where was this channel all my life

can't believe you guys didn't touch on the theory that marcellus wallace's soul was in the briefcase!!

i love this channel so much!

Awesome work.

Hey a great movie to analyze is Who Framed Roger Rabbit? or 8 Mile. It opens up a whole new alley as far as the alien humanoid comprehending what was going on with human civilization as far as psyche in 8 mile and with Roger Rabbit it can realy confuse the future alien into thinking it's actually a historical event playing out.

Could you please do an episode over The Matrix? Please, it's one of my favorite movies and I would like to see how you interpret the movie.

Great episode and analysis

wow this one was sooooo cool! this just dove deeper into my favorite movie of all time! I always knew this movie revealed a little secret to life

He and the kingpin go to a pawnshop together but they decide not to buy anything

I need more of this in my life. Maybe American Beauty? It's a Wonderful Life? Twilight (jk)?

Wow. These are great! More please!!

Awesome work guys! I love your reviews.Please do Taxi Driver,There will be blood and Dr. Strangelove.

"Say What Again, B*TCH, I DARE YOU... I DOUBLE DARE YOU" the Guy Pisses his Pants!

"later vincent accidentally shoots marvins head off" LOL

new sub, i like this format, good work

I love this, great job!

This is a cool show

Lol I died at "Tarantano" idk why

This series is looking to be really good. I have to say that I really enjoy when you say the names of the people different. I never thought about that whole time thing with respect to this movie.

I can't wait to see more Earthling Cinema! I hope you'll consider doing The usual suspects or Dr. Strangelove in the future.
