Quentin Tarantino And Philosophy - Plot & Excerpts
Don’t you fuckin’ do that! Don’t blow this shit off! What just happened was a fuckin’ miracle!101 —Pulp Fiction So says Jules Winnfield shortly after a man fires six shots point blank from his hand cannon at Jules and his partner Vincent Vega, missing with every shot. But is this experience enough to conclude that, as Vincent puts it, “God came down from heaven and stopped the bullets”? True, it results in a sharp change in Jules’s outlook, as he decides to give up his life as an enforcer for crime boss Marsellus Wallace and just walk the earth, “like Caine in Kung Fu,” “tryin’ real hard to be a shepherd.” But there have been too many failed predictions from self-proclaimed prophets, too many pious frauds and too many cult suicides to accept just any report of a miracle at face value.102 Those who want to believe find it all too easy. But what about those of us with a more philosophical bent who instead want to know? What sort of evidence should we demand before accepting a supposed miracle as a good enough reason, all on its own, to believe in the existence of a particular god?
