3. Give the Supporting Characters More To Do
The supporting and side characters truly add to the texture of the film with their presence and personalities, propelling not just the main characters' arcs but also giving the sense that while each segment is seemingly self-contained, there is a wider world outside of Pulp Fiction's Los Angeles and that the random people that intersect there on a regular basis, have their own unique stories and histories. My two favourite examples for this are Esmarelda Villalobos, Butch's taxi driver, and Winston Wolf, a 'clean up' expert in the pay of Marsellus. Both of them get a limited amount of screentime and while they certainly work and move the storyline along, they're both immensely fun to watch and listen to. Villalobos is a wonderfully macabre, mortality-obsessed riot, poking underneath the rough veneer of Butch's boxer stereotype with her questioning about death and we'd have loved to have seen her interacting with other characters. Winston Wolf meanwhile, we could watch for an hour without getting bored, particularly as he seems at odds with his life but remains utterly cool and professional - from taking a call at a party he seems to be hosting with his family to ordering about trained hitmen without batting an eyelid, I personally would love to be as cool as Winston. Or have him as my life organiser.
