Comment: Tarantino already had a reputation for his unique dialogue in 'Reservoir Dogs'. In 'Pulp Fiction', the industry recognised his writing skills by giving him an academy award for 'Best Screenplay'. The film is a sensation amongst cinemagoers, industry artistes, and even Christians because of Samuel L. Jackson's portrayal of the philosophical gangster. His Afro hair does not cause offence or appear out of date because of his overwhelming personality and knowledge. For the first time in Jackson's career, we see the university graduate coming through. Like Forest Whitaker in 'Ghost Dog', we see the trained, educated, middle classm person coming through their acting, and it lifts Jackson to another level. He is the intelligent crook rather than the desperate bum, and because of his philosophy he makes the intelligent decision at the end of the film to give Tim Roth the money that he stole and turn over a new leaf. Tarantino was a breath of fresh air to Jackson, and lifted his career to a level that his appearance in the Spike Lee films couldn't. Samuel L. Jackson was now accepted as the intelligent antagonist/protagonist. This was the landmark for him being able to play the protagonist as well as the antagonist. Christians across the country were scouring through their Old Testament after watching 'Pulp Fiction' to see if what Jackson was saying was true. It began to bridge the gulf between cinema and mainstream young Christianity who possibly thought cinema was profane, and created discussion across the country in churches. 'Pulp Fiction' was the film of 1994.
