Pulp Fiction Se IMPORTANT QUESTION

In my movie class some kid told me if you do somthing on the computer while playing the trivia game, you can watch the movie in it's correct order. Is this true? And how do I do it? I alredy won the trivia game so i dunno.

You should have asked instruction from the kid who told you that lie.

I don't know, I suppose it's possible there's such a feature, but it seems highly unlikely.

Because you want to know the answer?

Well, I know the answer, but I'm not teling you, because you didn't ask nice.

OK, now I will answer you.

The answer to your original question is:

No, I don't think so.

How would you watch Pulp Fiction in a chronological order? Some of the events in the film takes place simultaneously.

Yes, the scene in the diner would be very odd.

I mean, would Yolanda say "If any of you ****ing pricks move, I'll execute every mother****ing last one of ya" or "If any of you ****ing pricks move, I'll execute every last one of you ************s?"

I don't think it'd be odd at all to watch it in chronological order.

yes the simultaneous stuff , you'd have to pick one way or the other, but the other 95% of the film, would be fine.


I like how everyone is so quick to preach, how we should only watch how the director intended, whether it be this or, OAR, or director's cut..

but it's funny how these are the same people who gripe about Lucas and his Star Wars special editions- WASn"t that the way, the "director envisioned it"????? - so get over it

i say if you purchase something, you should be able to view it, in anyway you see fit.

Don't put every one in the same bag here...I like quite much the special cut of the SW trilogy...but I also would like to get the original cut as well...

How can you possibly assume that everyone that posted here don't like the special cut???

i don't wanna go off the pulp fiction SE topic, I don't know of any way to access such a feature on the dvd.

The "same people", was a figure of speach, not like i did some research, though i'd say roughly 90% of the people can't stand the SW special editions.

My point, sticking with pulp fiction, ( or any movie) watch it , how you wanna watch it. i could care less how the director wanted me to watch it, or his "vision"--

Interesting guesstimate . . . I'm curious to know what it's based on.

I'm with you, Freak, I like a lot of the re-cuts/updates in the SW SE's.

Couldn't care how the director wanted you to watch it or his "vision"? Yes, you are free to watch the movie however you'd like, but that is a fairly disrespectful statement.

For the most part, a movie ony exists because of the directors vision and how he wants it to be seen. There wouldn't be a movie if it weren't for the director's "vision". I think that people have a tendency to forget that movies, no matter what their quality, are peices of art that represent a lot of hard work, creativity, and insight on the part of the directors (yes, there are many, many other people who take part in the creation, but it is ultimately under directorial guidence and are done to serve the way the director wants it to be seen in the end).

I am all for enjoying the movie the way that makes you happy, but statments like "i could care less how the director wanted me to watch it, or his 'vision'"? C'mon, man . . . show a little more respect for the directors and their experience, hard work, and talent.

making a lot more money by scrapping films that become culturally canonized in the public consciousness over the past 20 years and instead adding a few irrelevant CGI scenes and major plot/character changes

I agree with your last statement. But that doesn't mean they should make it easy for you to do.

Nickmondo:

1. Have your buddy show you the film in order. Or call him a liar.
2. View the film in order from your perspective. Sure, there's work involved but if you don't want to do the work you don't really want to see it in order, now do you?

I seem to recall an interview with Tarantino where he said he wrote the script in the same order that the film presents it. Now that's one F'd up brain.
