Pulp Fiction (1994)

Tarantino's Pulp Fiction has had a huge cultural impact on filmmakers all around the world and has greatly influenced various new filmmaking techniques. The movie stirred a controversy back in the '90s as the mixed response received from the audience was quite contrasting to the critics'.

Pulp fiction isn't anything like the cliched Hollywood films. The unconventional storytelling caught me off guard. Now had I not seen a Tarantino movie before this I would have felt uncomfortable watching pulp fiction. But since I had already seen a Tarantino movie before this I knew how Tarantino wrote his movies. 

The dialogues are so casual that we instantly feel a connection with the characters and they feel relatable. 

Notes:

1. Keep dialogues casual so that the characters become relatable

2. Don't be afraid to go against the tide. If you feel your script is too edgy, GO AHEAD WITH IT. Keep it as a personal project but don't be afraid to take risks.  

3. Make sure your characters feel human. Don't create unrelatable superficial characters. Make sure every character has a backstory that makes him/her human.
