Pulp Fiction's Greatest Scene - Saving Mia's Life

IMDB Rating: 8.9

IMDB Ranking: #5 (as on Nov,7,2009)


I have enjoyed each and every part of this movie. But, I still cant stop wondering about Quentin Tarantino's direction and screenplay. No doubts this is one of the best movies of all times.

Starring in the scene are John Travolta as 'Vincent Vega' and Uma Thurman as 'Mia Wallace', Eric Stoltz as 'Lance' and Rosanna Arquette as 'Jody'.

THE SCENE:


Mia Wallace is the wife of the gang leader, Marcellus Wallace. Vincent Vega works for him. Marcellus asks Vincent to take her to a restaurant. After the dinner, Vincent Vega takes her home. But, she accidentally takes a sniff of the heavy-dose drug and is kncked-off. Scared out of his wits, Vincent takes her to Lance's place. FROM THEN, unravels the best scene of the movie.

This particular scene has received very great response from the audience. The panic let out by John Travolta seems so natural that you see a totally different Travolta on screen. Audience are taken aback after watching the "usually" menacing villain in an entirely-different character role, that lays great emphasis on acting.

The next credit should go to Uma Thurman, you can see her fall like a puppet doll, when Travolta drops her on the ground while arguing with Eric Stoltz. Uma Thurman has shown her best in this movie.

The scene also takes its applause from the co-actors Eric Stotz and Rosanna Arquette. The reluctance, and helplessness they show in their actions and speech make the scene a great success.

Here, are few best parts of the scene:

  • When Vincent argues with Lance in the garden
  • When Lance searches for the Medical Book
  • When Jody screams and screams and screams
  • When Vincent asks for the marker
  • When Jody and Lance argue over the medical book, while Vincent is waiting for giving the adrenalin to Mia
  • When they actually give the adrenalin to Mia
  • When Mia comes back to life

OOPS... I have described almost the whole scene... Yes, thats how it is... ENJOY it.

About the movie:

Pulp Fiction is a 1994 crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino, who cowrote its screenplay with Roger Avary. The film is known for its rich, eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, nonlinear storyline, and host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references. The film was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture; Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay. It was also awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. A major critical and commercial success, it revitalized the career of its leading man, John Travolta, who received an Academy Award nomination, as did costars Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman. Also starring Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Maria de Medeiros, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette and Christopher Walken.




Pulp Fiction? What is it?
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. Pulp Fiction is self-referential from its opening moments, beginning with a title card that gives two dictionary definitions of "pulp". The plot, in keeping with most of Tarantino's other works, is presented out of chronological sequence.

About the Scene:

This is towards the beginning of the film, when Jules Winnfield (Samuel Jackson) and Vincent Vega (John Travolta) goes to get the briefcase from the "kids", as they work for Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) - the gang leader.

The dialogs of this scene play a main role here, with the menacing act from Samuel Jackson. The scene falls so so naturally, with john Travolta searching for the briefcase in the kitchen. This is one of the best scenes in the movie, one of the most viewed videos on youtube.com.

This movie should be your favorite collection. If you havent watched this yet, you better watch it today. Otherwise, you are wasting your life.
