Divine Intervention – Pulp Fiction (1994)
The scene from Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’(1994) that I have chosen to analyse is good for psychoanalysis as it shows many characters conveying the feeling of fear, but the use of media language for each character is different.
The first character that the audience sees is shown to be hiding in a toilet. This character is one of the first to represent the feeling of fear; he is shown to the audience through close-ups and the rigid camerawork allows the audience to focus on just the character in the toilet. He is shown to be sweating and mumbling to himself saying, “Oh god, please, I don’t wanna die” this clearly connotes fear as the character is scared of being killed. Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Jules, can be heard in the toilet as he is shouting in another room to a different character.
The character of Jules psychological state shows him to be confident and also represents the emotion of anger. The framing is an off center composition and is shows Jules through a close-up of his face. His eyes are wide open and as he recites a passage from the bible he raises his voice. Jules eyes and voice show his angry state and his confidence is represented by the way he is standing up. Jules is standing up while another character is sitting on a chair below him representing the feeling of fear. The character on the chair is huddled up, is tense and is sobbing while Jules holding up a gun. Jules standing up also represents him with more authority.
The last character the audience sees is Marvin. He also represents the psychological state of fear. When Jules shoots at the character on the chair there is a close up of Marvin falling down against a wall. He is huddled up in a corner and he screams as the guns go off. The shot shows a close-up of his face as he is mumbling to himself and his hand is on his head. In the one scene Tarantino has represented the psychological state of fear, confidence and anger using only four characters and he has conveyed their feelings mainly using close-ups on their faces and using their body language in a particular way.
