Pulp Fiction 1994 is kind a amateurish actually

Quentin Tarantino and
Roger Avary at some point in their early film-maker lives came up with a bunch of tiny little stories that they wanted to develop into movies. And one day a stroke of genius struck these two. Those little stories could be told together as one film, with interconnected characters. Quentin took off with the concept and wrote the final script. And then took off with said final script and made the movie itself. A movie that a lot of people consider to be one of the greatest masterpieces ever made. Yet, with that, re-watching it for this review, it struck me how amateurish the movie feels, despite its greatness.
One of things that slightly annoyed me on this re-watch...

Steven Spielberg's first true theatrical feature film
The Sugarland Express didn't make much money. It was a minor success since with the budget of just 3 million dollars it was able to gather 12 million in box office. But it is nothing like his next film
Jaws, which on a budget of just 9 million made a whopping 495 million in box office. Yet with all that said
The Sugarland Express is still a very interesting movie to try to take apart.

Schindler's List 1993 and how Spielberg was perfect to tell this story

As a kid I did not understand the need for movies like
Schindler's List. Growing up Jewish I knew about the Holocaust. I knew about the Nazis and heard stories about stuff they did. But movies in my childhood brain were firmly just a form of entertainment. What entertainment is there if you are watching people suffer? Yet
as I explain in my other article at about 14 I got to a rather strange point in my life, when everything dark and real became important. That's when I saw
Schindler's List for the first time. That's when a film that is not made for entertainment suddenly started making sense.
