One Pulp Fiction Scene Fans Still Can't Stop Arguing About
If you saw Pulp Fiction, you should remember that this character didn't die... or did he?
Pulp Fiction is an all-time cult classic. There's no need to prove it, and what only strengthens this belief is that some of the scenes from the movie provoke discussions and speculations to this day.
One of the scenes was brought up for discussion again on Reddit.
The scene in question is when Jules and Vincent bring a dead body to Jimmie's house where Mr. Wolf later arrives to clean it up.
The question that this sequence provoked on Reddit is whether Mr. Wolf killed Jimmie (played by Quentin Tarantino himself).
The theory that a Reddit user proposed is that given that Jimmie talks too much and was extremely worried about his wife finding out about this mess, it seems unlikely that Mr. Wolf, who is known for cleaning up messy and out of control situations, would spare a witness.
Additionally, given Mr. Wolf's reputation and the fact that the two thugs respect him, it's doubtful that he would tolerate any disagreement or dissent.
If Jimmie was to start complaining about the quilt, it's unlikely that Mr. Wolf would waste time arguing with him, as he is a ruthless clean-up expert who gets the job done efficiently.
However, Tarantino experts were quick to engage in a discussion proving this theory wrong.
Some arguments against this theory are that Jimmie's wife never returned home and Jimmie is a close friend of Jules and is unlikely to betray him or reveal any information about their actions.
Furthermore, it's known that Mr. Wolf compensated Jimmie for his involvement in the situation, likely with a significant sum of money, which would further incentivize him to keep quiet.
And finally, the tainted car and the dead body were taken to Monster Joe's Truck and Tow, where they could be disposed of without leaving any witnesses or evidence to worry about.
Even though Pulp Fiction never showed what happened to Jimmie, he probably survived and lived happily ever since.
But isn't it just fascinating how an almost 30 years old movie still excites and stirs fans to re-watch it again and again?
