'Pulp Fiction'

In the past couple of Mr Fords lessons we have been looking at the film 'Pulp Fiction' directed by Quentin Tarantino. 'Pulp Fiction' is basically about four hitmen who link into one another in four tales of violence. The criticism for this film has been that becuase the film makes so many intertextual refrences is so sly and knowing that it doesn't seem 'real' it feels/looks like a construction. The question we got asked was, does this make it more postmodern? I feel it does for example, in the real world, if somone were to have an overdose like Mia Wallace did in the film, shooting an adrenaline injection through the breast plate would not work as the breast plate is too strong to take it so obviously this was done for dramatic effect. Wheras the storylines Tatrantino and Avary used such as rape, this is realistic. I enjoyed the film and enjoyed the structure of it as there were many flashbacks, such as the begining was at the end.
