I have been waiting since I was about 4 years old to see this film. This is because I thought my mother was featured on the poster (mainly because of her hair) therefore, of course, I wanted to see it. A few years later I discovered that it wasn't my mother and that it was none other than Uma Thurman. But I was never allowed to see it because it was rated R. Twelve years later, I was able to watch this film and it was definitely worth that long wait!
For starters, just check out the fantastic poster:
Written & Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
This film features an all-star cast including; (well, check the poster above) :)
The film follows the lives of two mob hit men (John Travolta & Samuel L. Jackson), a gangster's wife (Uma Thurman), a boxer (Bruce Willis) and two diner bandits (Tim Roth & Amanda Plummer). The fascinating thing about this film is that all these situations are tied into one and are all connected.
Travolta and Jackson are absolutely electric as the two mob hit men. They are equally freaking cool and hilarious. Both the "Quarter Pounder/Royale with Cheese" discussion and the foot massage debate are golden! Tarantino did an outstanding job with the script, as usual :) I thoroughly enjoyed all of their scenes :)
Now, at the Oscars there was a lot of debate whether Jackson should have won the Oscar for best supporting actor instead of Martin Landau who won it for his performance in Ed Wood (1994). I really can't take sides regarding this matter because I absolutely loved Landau's performance as Bela Lugosi and Ed Wood is my favourite film of all time but, I think Jackson was absolutely electric, so I'm choosing to be Switzerland in this debate.
Uma Thurman is amazing and so gorgeous as Mia Wallace. I really wish she was in the film more than she was, I really missed her when she wasn't onscreen. I totally agree with nearly everything she said, especially how there is nothing wrong with comfortable silences and I would have really liked to see that pilot of Fox Force Five. It sounded interesting :)
And, of course, there is the famous dance scene with Vincent (Travolta) and Mia at the diner. That scene is like magic! The moves are fantastic. I sometimes do them when I'm dancing :)
