Chapter 995 995 Full of Praise
"This is definitely the new king of crime movies!" Amond Camby expressed his position at the beginning of the film review. He not only overturned his concerns at the end of last year, but also personally dismissed the film he once despised. The film has pushed to a new height, "the amazing fun of making a case is throughout, surprise, humor and ingenuity throughout the incredible 154 minutes of the whole film, which is sensational and wonderful! Best of 1994!"
As the most watched comprehensive newspaper in the United States, the "New York Times" film review has always received a lot of attention, and it is often easy to become a word-of-mouth weather vane for a film. So, in general, The New York Times' film critics are more cautious. But this time, Amond obviously did not intend to hide his surprise and admiration, and gave almost all his praise to "Pulp Fiction", first slapped himself, and then willingly became a stepping stone for the movie to become classic.
This has almost become an abbreviation for the reaction of the entire film critics after Pulp Fiction was released.
Prior to this, the "New York Times" had the most praise for "Forrest Gump", and considered this film to be an epic that pioneered a mountain, and it is also the best work so far this year, no one. But now, Almond has rewritten that view himself, for which he also wrote a follow-up film review.
In this film review, Almond believes that "Forrest Gump" is a masterpiece of American spirit, and the epic shooting techniques are impressive, but overall, the film is still too main theme, Everything is stable, there is no novelty in terms of technique, and it has not reached a new height in terms of ideological excavation. The essence of this film is still the most classic American dream.
But "Pulp Fiction" is different. It can be said to be the pioneering work of a new type of film. Perhaps in terms of ideological realm, this film is not profound, at least slightly inferior to "Forrest Gump". However, the film reflects the development history of American culture, film and music, but has left a deep American imprint. More importantly, Quentin Tarantino's way of telling stories, presenting pictures, and creating conflicts are all new creations, which are enough to revolutionize the entire film industry.
Therefore, Almond believes that "Pulp Fiction" will occupy an unshakable place in the long history of filmmaking. Just need this movie, Quentin can go down in history.
At the end of the film review, Almond also mentioned Hugo in particular, "Lancaster's vision for film selection is unique and novel, and his unique choice has gradually made people see his ambitions as an actor. What is even more commendable is that Lancaster's film selection is unique and novel, and his unique choice makes people gradually see his ambitions as an actor. This time, Caster presented a smooth, deep and delicate performance, and after 'Schindler's List', he once again dared to challenge himself.
At this point, the disagreement between the "New York Times" and Hugo over "Pulp Fiction" has officially come to an end. Amond gave the film a full score of 100 points, summing up with a sentence of "perfect". Any reservations send their own supreme accolades.
Armond's views are strongly supported by Roger Ebert, a well-known top film critic who has been full of praise for "Pulp Fiction" as early as Cannes. His detailed analysis has been regarded as a bible by countless movie fans, and he has personally watched the movie for the sixth time, but he still has nothing to say.
This time, "Pulp Fiction" was released in the United States, and Roger also came to support him again. In the comment column of the "Chicago Sun", he undoubtedly gave a full score of 100 points and gave him four stars. recommended, that it is an "almost insurmountable mountain for films of the same type".
In the film review, Roger said, "Just like 'Citizen Kane', 'Pulp Fiction' is a movie that you can't remember even after watching it a dozen times. Combined with the brilliant dark humor and violent depiction, it's enough to call this film a 'classic'!"

In addition, "Variety Magazine", which keeps pace with "Hollywood Reporter", is much more serious, but this time they failed to keep calm. "This is a movie full of countless flashes. It's the kind of movie that you start looking forward to every time you watch it again. Great movie to watch again, the same 'he never disappoints' script and 'expectations are always underrated'. Tarantino shows his talent, Hugo shows his great."
