2001 analysis - part 8: Other references from 'Pulp Fiction'

CATEGORY: MOVIES













The dance floor at club Jack Rabbit Slim's (above left) has a design painted on it that is reminiscent of HAL's eye (above right).















The 'imaginary' rectangle Mia has drawn during her conversation with Vincent, reminds us of the lighted border surrounding the lunar lander landing pad in 2001. Ultimately, both rectangles are references to the monolith, which is rectangular.
















Mia's home security system control center, with its lights, panels, and monitors, is reminiscent of the various cockpit panels shown in A Space Odyssey.
















The emergency adrenaline injection revival kit in Pulp Fiction, is a reference to the emergency revival procedure panels attached to each of the hibernating astronauts' pods.
















The 'ape' statues in Pulp Fiction (one on either side of the man with his back to us, above left) are references to man's primeval ancestors as depicted at the beginning of 2001.
