Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction is often regraded as one of the greatest crime thrillers ever. When presented with a movie of such high caliber, it is naturally expected of a critic to not use claims of policy because there would be no need for change or amendment. However, this review written by Peter Travers for Rolling Stone on October 14, 1994 displays claims of value. For example, Travers mentions the acting of the movie to be "dynamite" and describes the careers of John Travolta and Bruce Willis after this movie as "revived." Claims like these are solely paused on one's point of view and it can easily be argued, for instance, that it was in fact the screenplay, plot, and directing that made the movie stand out as opposed to the acting. For the comments made on the careers of Travolta and Willis, they may be true; but one could easily argue that their careers were never "dead" for them to have been "revived." Throughout the review, Travers makes multiple claims of value to support his overall point: it was a great movie. That is what it all boils down to. Travers raves about Tarantino's storytelling and passion, mentioning how his relative youth contradicts that. This review was clear cut, to the point, and influential. Its purpose of telling potential viewers to watch this movie was surely reached.
