Pulp Fiction (1994) is an American crime film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, based on a story by Tarantino and Roger Avary. The film starred John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. The film tells a few stories of criminal Los Angeles. The film’s title refers to the pulp magazines and hardboiled crime novels popular during the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and punchy dialogue.

The screenplay of Pulp Fiction was written in 1992 and 1993, and incorporated some scenes originally written by Avary for True Romance. Its plot is presented out of chronological order. The film is also self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of “pulp”. Considerable screen time is devoted to monologues and casual conversations with eclectic dialogue revealing each character’s perspectives on several subjects. The film features an ironic combination of humor and strong violence. It’s noteworthy that the script was reportedly turned down by Columbia TriStar as “too demented”. The film became the first that Miramax fully financed.
