![]() ![]() He’s more likely to be struck by this ephemeral connection/parallel with destiny and his father’s death.EXCLUSIVE: We have learned that Bruce Willis and John Travolta are starring together again for the first time in 27 years in the Chuck Russell-directed action pic Paradise City. (Butch is something of liberal personality, he sings in the car, jokes around, etc. It makes the watch a weird totem of destiny, it gives great balance to the story, and even builds further on the character details we see as a composite. MW gave his ass (unwillingly) for Butch’s salvation. Of course he would realize this and feel compelled to follow though and repay the sacrifice made by the Col. (besides gimp/cop/red ball gag/pommel horse is visually fun). Zed the Cop/guard is in uniform, we could have found out through dialogue, a threat that no one will find you etc. He could have said bought it from a friend or a hundred other things.īutch literally fights his way into his destiny (the ring/entering the shop during fisticuffs with MW) embodied by a general store stand-in melded with a prison camp/atrocity situation. ![]() ![]() Great observation with the TN sign, and I think if QT had said pawn shop, it would have been hokey. And that was obviously a neutral action by Butch if self-defense could be considered such) (Vega doesn’t really count, as while he’s in the death business, his interactions with Mia show him as morally neutral in the context of his profession. He only kills that one guy with the sword, and leaves the other rapist ball-shot for MW to torture. Also, life for a life when it comes to the boxer his killed on accident and the Kevin Smith redneck. He emphasizes to Fabienne that not only is the watch important because it was his father’s war watch, but that the ass transport was a real sacrifice. Totally believe this- of course it would be for a character reason and not only a fact of the plot! Butch is the kind of character that would take his time looking for the best (most fun?) weapon and be struck by the parallels of the situation. The Tennessee sign is a reference to the place where the watch was purchased, and the situation is a reference to the prison camp, but this time its Butch's prison, and now he has the chance to save not only his "partner", but the metaphoric representation of his own father. When Butch is about to leave, he stops for a few seconds, at this scene, you can clearly see a Tennessee sign right next to him, and its not even out of focus, its definitely there intentionally, but why? Because this whole situation is new perspective of his father's story. Moving on, about Butch's father, Koons says that he died on a Vietnamiese prison camp, the same camp he was in and before he was gone, he gave Koons the watch and told him to deliver it to Butch.įinally here we are, at the general store basement, Marsellus is being raped on one room while Butch is tied up and waiting for his turn on another room, but he fights back and unleashes himself, knocks down the gimp and manages to get out of there. Cristopher Walken's character says that the watch was bought on an old general store in Tennessee way back in WWO by his great grandfather, dont forget about this info. After watching this chapter a lot, I finally came with a more solid reason to why he returned to save him, and to understand this better, we have to remember a few things that happened earlier.īutch's chapter starts with Captain Koons doing a monologue about the watch, the import thing about this scene is where did the watch come from and what happened to Butch's father. So Ive always tried to understand why did Butch return to save Marsellus, I mean, its plausible that he thought that, by saving him, things would be alright between them, and thats what in fact happened, but It was impossible for him to be sure about that, cause not only Butch didnt went down on that fight, he killed one of Marsellus "best" hitman (Vincent Vega). Everyone knows this scene, Im talking about the scene where Butch and Mr Wallace are captured by those two rapists at that general store. ![]()
