Pulp Fiction

Why is Pulp Fiction called Pulp Fiction I hear no one say. Well little voice in my head I have the answer. The reason why it is called pulp fiction is because of magazines that appeared in the early 1900's that were referred to as pulp or pulp fiction. They were called this due to the cheap paper that the magazines were made of. The paper may have been cheap but the front covers were always the best parts. They had beautiful women in some sort of distress and men coming to save her, they were over all nicely drawn. The magazines were sold for 10 cents so everyone was able of getting them. These magazines normally had violence, crime, and sex to attract readers which really worked.The movie went on to mirror those ideas and style of the magazines. Just like the magazines the movie was a huge success.
