AFI Movie Date Night #6

Pulp Fiction (#95) was tonight's movie and Cathy didn't make it through the opening scenes. I may have to agree with her about the necessity of the excessive profanity. Even though the process of the storytelling is ingenious, I wonder if anyone would have cared about this movie if it would have gotten a XX rating for it's excessive profanity and violence. But our society's (and the decreasing standards relating to "censorship") allowance of such excessive profanity puts this film on the AFI list.

I do admit that the film has many memorable moments. It might have been nice to see such moments without the excessive profanity. When we get to The Godfather Part II, we'll see how much profanity they needed to get their point across.
