Itis an axiom that in a well-made feature film, the director will agonize over what scenes to leave in and which to cut. In essence, any scene which does not advance the story will be cut. Many movies include cut scenes in the "Director's Cut" or at least as extended scenes included in the DVD.Quentin Tarantino, no matter whether you like him or hate him, is widely hailed as one of the most talented directors in today's generation. I cannot believe he makes many 'mistakes' in editing.His seminal film, Pulp Fiction, however, has a scene in the standard version (non-director's- or extended-cut version) which puzzles me. I don't understand how it advances either the story as a whole or Vincent Vegas' part in it.

Shortly after we meet Lance and Jody (Vincent's drug dealer and his wife, played by Eric Stoltz and Rosanna Arquette), after enjoying a hit shared with them, we see Vincent driving to Marcellus Wallace's house, to pick up his wife for her night out. The scene is just Vincent in his caddy (?) driving along. The POV switches to Vincent's, and we see the surreality of the heroin's affect on the street lights, but that's it.


We already learned that Vincent is a heroin user, probably addict, and the average non-drug using viewer wouldn't know the difference between the effect caused by cocaine, which is what Wallace's wife mistakes the baggy of heroin for when she O.D.'s later, so it can't be to show us that it was indeed heroin. Was it to show us that he is a high-functioning addict, still able to drive? I just don't understand that scene, and can't believe Tarantino would have left in a two-minute scene for no good reason.


But then from the moment it cuts to him opening up his little case of needles, everything slows down to half speed while he prepares the needles, and then when he's driving his demeanour has changed, you see him looking tired and almost drunk, paying more attention to the lights than the road.


The constant fade in and out of black as well as being surrounded by it except for the street lights is used to indicate how little he is paying attention to what's actually happening around him, setting the scene for his later negligence (he probably wouldn't have considered bringing the drugs with him if he wasn't high at the time).


He's completely out of it, and barely has the where-with-all to get into Mia's house without falling over himself when he arrives, he's confused by the intercom and even hesitates for a moment when told to go to the right.


Even later at the diner, he's not as chatty as the earlier scenes with Jules, Mia initiates all of the conversation and Vince doesn't seem interested in much other than his cigarettes and getting his assignment over without upsetting Marcellus.


First of all, Pulp Fiction is basically a character study (at least the Vincent & Jules segments). The scenes with Vince in them, including the heroin consumption, are to show just what type of person he is.


Vincent Vega does not think about the future; he does drugs, makes careless decisions, accidentally shoots a guy in the face, etc. This is to show how Vince thinks. He won't bother himself with worrying about the future, and whenever there is a problem, he solves it and goes on living.


This is in contrast to Jules when they miraculously survive someone unloading a magnum on them. Vince brushes it off as just a freak occurrence and wants to leave as soon as possible, while Jules stops to think about what happened and decides it was more than just pure chance.

The doctors and all of the staff at Redmont have always gone above and beyond to meet the needs of our family throughout the years. My son recently turned 19 and was so sad that he has to transfer to an adult doctor now and couldn't see Dr. Anna Magliolo anymore, he said "no other doctor is going to really care about me as a person the way she does." As a mom that just broke my heart but it also was reassuring to know that when I could've chosen to see other doctors in Birmingham I made the right decision to make the drive to Redmont. My daughter is still a patient there and we have never had anything but the absolute best care!


Take the Paradise Drive exit from Highway 101. Turn right at the light onto Tamalpais Drive. Stay in the right-hand lane, which veers right onto Paradise Drive (beyond the Home Consignment Center). Continuing on Paradise Drive, you will pass Paradise Foods on the right. After about a mile and a half, you will come to a pedestrian overpass. Continue beyond the overpass and look for the Marin Montessori School sign on the left. To enter the parking lot, turn left into the driveway at the far (east) end of the campus. You can also park on the south side of Paradise Drive across from our campus.
