Pulp Fiction

Pulp fiction was a very interesting film that I really enjoyed.  It seemed to be portrayed in the typical Tarantino fashion, including his signature unorthodox timeline that he so often uses in his films.  I noticed that in the movie the first scene is in the coffee shop with the two robbers, and ends with Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta leaving the coffee shop.  However, this is not the entire time line of the movie.   In an earlier scene a boxer named Butch, played by Bruce Willis, has to go to his apartment to retrieve his father’s watch.  Butch, after finding his watch, runs into Vincent Vega, played by John Travolta, using the bathroom and is surprised to find him waiting for him.  In the course of his search, Butch finds a silenced machine gun that he uses to kill Vincent; however Vincent is still alive in the final scene, showing Tarantino's manipulation of the time line.
