Lions love listening to Pulp Fiction

Lions love listening to Pulp Fiction

This is an article written for the #juneinleo writing prompt series with today being Day 4 ....

I won't lie I am getting addicted to writing articles for these prompts.

Catch the original announcement in this thread

Day 4! There is a lot of music themes that are famous because of the movies they are a part of, even the movie can be famous for the soundtrack. What is your favorite movie Soundtrack? Do you like Musicals?
How important do you think the music is to the success of a movie?

To post about music and movies, go check the community Afri-Tunes for this topic our frens have open up for not just African Music

My two favourite soundtracks ...

Are from the films or movies Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting...

They are ear poppingly good sound tracks from eye droppingly good films.

Trainspotting is set in Edinburghin the 90s where I am from, and was all kids mixed up in heroin and how it wrecks your lives ... I shared a flat at uni with some smackhead (heroin users) so I could totally relate to it.

It was also the first breakthrough for Scottish super actors like Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle...

5 Top tunes that are iconic with the film are ...
Lou Reed – 'Perfect Day' Sleeper – ‘Atomic’ Brian Eno – 'Deep Blue Day' Underworld – 'Born Slippy .NUXX' and the awesome Iggy Pop – 'Lust For Life'

Choose Your Future. Choose Life

Yeah a brilliant film with a defining Soundtrack ....

.... but we are here to talk about only one!

Why do soundtracks enhance movies?

If you know me, then you know that I am not that big on films or watching movies. I do though absolute love music and relate things to music. Even writing this I have Alexa playing the soundtrack from Pulp Fiction in the background...

Damn it is sooooo powerful, I mean how is this for a random female opening lyric ....

'none of you fucking pricks move or I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you'

Sheer class ....

The cast well I am huge John Travolta / Bruce Willis / Samuel L Jackson / Uma Thurman fan there are too many too mention here...

What I will do as we go through this article is share three classics from the movie ...

What better way to kick off with Pumpkin and his Honey Bunny asshe says those immortal worlds and the song Misirlou is from 1927 ...

Did get you in mood, did it set the tone?

That is what a good sountrack should be doing ...

It helps set the atmosphere, it also helps push the audience where the director wants them to go...

It helps with the plot... That is the difference between a great soundtrack for a film and just some random songs used as a backdrop.

Well at least in my eyes it is!

Son of a Preacher Man from 1968 and sung by Dusty Springfield, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I listen to this!

This last track will be a scene from the film, I am sure Pulp Fictions will remember the dance between Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega!!!

This was Tarantino the director at his amazing best. The songs chosen for the track enhance the flim.

The music draws the audience and whenever I hear a tune now I am still drawn to the movie even though it is 30 years old (yes it was released in October 1994) I can still picture that scene in my eyes!

A good soundtrack is a masterpiece that stands intertwined with the film... making the pair of them fluffing iconic!

I don't know if you have MAX streaming service, but it's on there now at least in the US, I don't know why they vary from nation to nation...It was great yet again. That part where Travolta accidentally shoots the guy in the back seat and the car explodes with blood is just so funny. Tarantino sick humor!

I haven't watched pulp fiction but after playing the first soundtrack, I immediately recognized it; it's one of the greatest soundtracks of all time! It has been used in some other movies, typically played during intense action 👌 indeed, a good soundtrack is a masterpiece and Pumpkin and Honey Bunny is a testament to that statement, it has passed the test of time

These are cool soundtrack selections, Tito Ed. Tarantino is great at what he does. His film soundtracks are usually intense.

I thought I didn't watch Pulp Fiction until I played the dance (Uma & John) and remembered I did, lol! Now considering a rewatch.
