‘Pulp Fiction’ 25th Anniversary: What We Take For Granted Now

it has all been said before.

It's not what everyone knew already. To this day, there are people who don't get why this movie blew everyone away and still rant that it was nothing special. I know it's annoying to hear someone "state the obvious," but unfortunately, what made the movie revolutionary isn't that obvious.

The soundtrack was great and I think made it cool to be into old songs in an era locked into a lot of alt-rock orthodoxy. Although in a lot of ways, there were bands who felt open covering old or obscure songs. The Replacements had Kiss' "Black Diamond" on their "Let it Be" album and were known to cover tons of vintage artists, from Vanity Fare to Hank Williams, Jr.

My main complaint is that they used a cover of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" instead of the original Neil Diamond version.

Solid point. Watched it again last night and the PF soundtrack is just as captivating as it was in '94. Another point they missed is the cinematography; it was filmed very much in a European style. Especially on the high res blu-ray, the high contrast film and somewhat cheap sets give it almost a documentary feel at times.
