were addicts. However, I also found other main ideas throughout the movie. First, I felt that many ideas revolved around a "black/white" theme. It seemed that no matter who was in control, they were always in a confrontation with someone of another race. For instance: Wallace and Vincent's relationship, Jules against "Pumpkin", or Butch versus Wallace. Although one race never seemed more dominant, the concept of black against white was very prominent.Even though each reviewer discussed the scene where Vincent saves Mia's life, they failed to see how the fixation was a destruction of character. Tarantino uses drugs to develop each of his characters personalities. Mia is known for her abuse of deadly substances and the over use of these substances. Vincent's character can only be relaxed and have a good time when he is high on heroin. Wallace is making deals and selling drugs, while Jules is out preaching quotes from the Bible and killing youth over drug related events. Each character's actions are affected by the central idea of drugs.Although Wallace is a bad guy, I am amazed at the loyalty he receives from everyone. Even though his wife is suspected of semi-adultery, she is totally faithful to Wallace on her night out on the town with Vincent. Vincent also feels a sense of responsibility for Mia because of his relationship with Wallace. Even Wallace's enemy, Butch, goes out of his way to save Wallace from being "man-handled". Since Wallace's faith is only in those he has control over, loyalty appears to have a price.Because Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction branches off into several separate stories, one must concentrate hard to get the full affect of his work. With great talent he blends three main scenarios and several sub-plots into one full-length movie. Once completed he tosses in chaos, and ready to serve is an award winning film. ...
