salyavin, I've not seen Pulp Fiction except for little bits and
pieces. I'd say that in these very violent movies, the morality tale
message can get lost pretty easily. Then the meta message takes over.
Which can be quite different from the morality tale message!

Some sociologists think that playing violent video games and watching
violent movies on TV and in theaters leads to incidents of violence by
troubled individuals. What is so weird about this is the cognitive
dissonance displayed by Barry and Sal - they don't even see the
connections, or want to admit them. This came up before in our
conversation about individuals who own guns. It may be that people who
enjoy violent movies are somewhat stunted, mentally, and still living in
a fantasy of their childhood. Go figure.

One of my favorite places to sit and write when I'm in Amsterdam
is the front-window table of a coffeeshop where Quentin Tarantino
sat and wrote most of "Pulp Fiction." None of his success has
rubbed off on me, but I think some of his sense of humor has.

OMG! I hope neither of you two guys is thinking about going postal on
us. I wonder how much of Tarantino's gun-nut humor has rubbed off on
you two? You guys must be two of the most fucked up in the mind
characters I've ever met on the internet!
/Two pacifists that love Tarantino./ Talk about your cognitive
dissonance! Go figure.
I wonder if you've ever actually understood/anything/ Willy?
Pulp Fiction is a morality tale. Two hitmen have a very near death
experience at the hands of another gunman, one decides that being
spared is a sign from god and vows to go straight, the other thinks
that's a load of hogwash and gets killed the next day.
Try paying attention next time.
