PULP FICTION - how can you simply "leave the life?" ***SPOILERS***
In the film, the character Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) is determined to "leave the life" after witnessing a miracle (not getting shot by Seinfeld's "hand-cannon").
Jules friend, Jimmy (played by writer/director Quentin Tarantino), has already "left the life" when he married Bonnie. I thought mobsters couldn't leave the life. Like in Sopranos, once you're in, you're in. There's no backing out. What's different with the Pulp Fiction mob? |
It's simple, Buttmunker.
You just have to be a Bad M*thaf*cka. Like the wallet says. |
It's a movie....;)
|
It's just a movie, it's not real like the Sopranos.
|
It's not really a mob is it? My impression is that they're a tiny syndicate of low level criminals, with a few ties, if needed (a la Mr Wolf) to the larger element.
|
Yeah, it's just a movie. If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor.

Worst thread. Ever.

Where in the film does it make it clear that Jimmy use to be a criminal? Seen this film 20 or so times and never picked up on that.

Jules refers to him as being an old friend and Jimmy doesn't "want to get into it" again with her. He might've been a low-level drug dealer, but whatever he did, she didn't like and asked him to stop. |

I've never been a part of the mob but I could easily see myself telling a friend that I don't want to "Get into it again with her" if he brought a dead guy into my house with my wife due home in a few hours. I think you're all making an ass of yourselves..... and umption. |

I think you meant canon. |

Wasn't Jimmy Jules' partner before he started working with Vincent?

The message is Jules left the life and survived because of the sign from above, Vincent stayed and got killed. Jules lives and Vincent dies...

Ving Rhames is Sicilian. Have you forgotten Dennis Hopper's monolouge in True Romance ? -ohbfrank- ;) |
