I agree that Pulp Fiction was about something--or tried to be about something when you cut through all the nonlinear presentations and other cheap ploys...I thought it was about honor and loyalty among thieves more than redemption. It was fairly fresh and free of cliches but even then I recognized Tarantino as an "artist" who would prefer to show you a cheap thrill or trick than real character development or plot. When faced with real questions about his characters at various points in a film, he will usually shy away from a defining answer in favor of superficial nonsense. That is why, for me, his films don't live up to repeat viewings, though I find them entertaining. Until now.
