Pulp Fiction

• Definition of pulp at the start
• Starts of with Ringo and Yolanda planning a robbery, Ringo seems to be more talkative and dominant as he gets the full attention of Yolanda.
• Brings up store owners having guns and killings
• The robbery starts to take place, Yolanda is seen as more aggressive when making demands compared to Ringo, which is seen as unconventional as she is taken charge of crowd control.
• OPENING SCENE
• Cuts to the title with the soundtrack, this is odd as the opening scene is usually at the start of the movie. Showing themes of Fragmentation that can be seen throughout the movie.
