- WesolyKubeczek 3y agoIt’s but a great first aid tutorial!
- wincy 3y agoHah, true story, I had a college history professor who went on a screed about Pulp Fiction and how it was nihilistic and obscene and that Tarantino would make the world a better place by just offing himself. He said he believed the film and other films in a similar vein made the world a worse place and had literally negative value as a literary work. It was a wild semester.

- watwut 3y agoPulp Fiction is nihilistic tho. I like that, nihilism can be fun to watch. But nihilistic it is.
- dkga 3y agoI can’t see nihilism and a Hollywood movie in the same sentence without thinking of the Big Lebowski. Those German guys were the real nihilists! :)
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoAnd yet: he gave you a differing opinion from the general consensus, and now, however long ago it was, you still think about it. I don't know if this was the professor's intention, but he made you think about the movie more, he made you think either "He has a point because of x, y and z" or "I think he is wrong because of x, y and z", which is a valuable lesson. One issue with modern films is that people seem to follow or look for the general opinion of them. Lord of the Rings? Good. Morbius? Bad but memeable. Tarantino? Best films ever if you're also into feet. Etc. There doesn't seem to be enough space for a differing opinion or a honest conversation about e.g. films.
- otabdeveloper4 3y agoI agree, Tarantino sucks and Pulp Fiction is shlock.
