ENG 105- Pulp Fiction

my topic to watch for in this movie was Ethics. I think my favorite scene to show the ethical aspect of this was when the two characters Marsellus and Butch are capture and then Marsellus is raped by two gay men. Butch was able to get free and even though only min before he wanted to kill Marsellus, he went back and saved him from the two gay men. It was ethically write that he should try and save a man in trouble, no matter what his feelings toward the man were.

I'm not really sure how this movie fit in with the class. I really enjoyed it but in my mind I couldn't find any real educational purpose. I guess I'll find out more when I read my classmates blogs on their topics.

I agree, I do not know how it fit in with class, but I really enjoyed it. I think if I knew more about Tarantinos writing and stuff I would be able to find a purpose.

i also agree, i would love to have it explained to me why we watched this movie, although like i said in my blog, i did enjoy the break in work in the class. i think that this movie was completely ethically wrong in every way. sure there were good points to the movie, there was not a lot that shone through.

I was afraid that the purpose was not made clear... if we had time, we would have had more in depth discussions. Basically, actually watching someone go against convention and still be effective versus being told that going against convention can be effective is the best way to understand. Writing style doesn't have to make linear sense, only logical sense. Even if at times the film seemed to just be thrown together, each scene was strategically put together.
