They like it because its *supposed* to be a great movie.

People watch it, don't understand it, go online, read
the over-interpretations, invent their own, combine
them, and head to their dorm/office/coffee shop armed
with a recipe for their low intellectual self esteem.

Its usually in the form of:

"I think the hairstyles of Travolta and Jackson's characters
were symbolic..they were supposed to be hit men, yet had clashing,
conflicting silly hairstyles....but Sam Jackson's character, who
believed the miracle, came to peace with the conflict
present on his scalp...Tarantino was speaking to the ubiquity
of conflict, and how it presents itself in several different
ways, even subconciously, sometimes in the form of a jheri
curl...and the fact that Sam Jackson's character believed
the miracle speaks to the African-American community's struggle
for identity and hope for legitimacy."

People like me don't need to do ^^^this bullshit,
because we're actually smart people in real life
on real topics.
