By doing this, the film puts across feelings related to irony and sarcasm, as it apparently wants to ridicule a society that never seizes to amaze. It is as if the film is meant to be surprising by showing apparently improbable occurrences that are actually very likely to happen in real life.

Satellites are introduced at times in order to make a connection between the plot's more important episodes. Repetition takes place as the same scene from the prologue is presented during the epilogue and it is revealed that conditions are not as critical as they initially seemed to be.

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of
Violence in Pulp Fiction When the movie Bonnie and Clyde opened in 1967, Newsweek reviewer Joseph Morgenstern slammed the move as a "squalid shoot-em-up for the moron trade." (Goldstein) But a week later retracted his previous bad review and praised the movie. It was the violence that originally shocked the movie reviewer, but within a week, the shock of the rampant violence had worn off. Once this had happened, Mr.
One can actually feel a sentiment of nostalgia as he or she goes through Tarantino's movies, since his films appear to be done in accordance with some of the earliest movies in the history of film-making, the only difference being that the director has chosen to leave his instantly recognizable print on these motion pictures.
