91720, my only gripe is the "people like it because they're told to" cop out Posted by now or never, Mon Apr-21-08 01:04 PM
because it basically calls us sheep and snobs at the same time for liking the movie and labels all analysis of the film, even if it makes sense, just people "making up reasons to like it" or overanalyzing but it goes both ways yes you can argue the movie is mostly style but you can also argue that the style is there to serve a point in the context of cultural analysis without rehashing the millions of different critiques of the film to say they're all just people making up shit to try to legitimize it's popularity negates the validity of what they say just like saying "oh you just don't get it" negates people who don't like it basically people can like whatever they want but if they like pulp fiction there's a lotta ammunition in popular opinion and years of writing and analysis they can use to back up the idea of it as a good film and for the people who don't they have "oh, you niggas just making up shit because you wanna be cool like the people who like it."
i said it.
