Uses and
Gratification Theory
PULP FICTION/FIGHT CLUB
. Entertainment
 Pulp Fiction is entertaining because of how it merges genres such as crime,
drama, action and comedy and the fact that the more you re-watch it the
more things you pick up about the plot. Fight club is entertaining because
again of how it successfully merges the comedy and action genres and
again the more you watch the more you pick up on things that you would
not have noticed the first time around.
. Information / Education
 In terms of information these two media texts offer new points of views for
the audience to see through, weather that is through pulp fiction which
creates some very different interpretations of the crime drama genre and
older films it references that the audience may not know of or fight club
and the different themes it presents some of which are consumer culture,
violence, chaos and societal breakdown.
Personal identification
 Some people may personally identify with films in the case of these two
films with Pulp Fiction personal identification can be found through the
fairly normal conversations some of these criminals have and in fight club
personal identification can be found with how the main character views his
job or his life.
An example of this for pulp fiction can be seen in the clip
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pkq_eBHXJ4
. Social Interaction
 Pulp fiction and fight club create social interactions because as I have said
before the more you watch them the more you pick up on information you
would not have seen the first time around and this is why these two films
still have active fan bases and are still regularly talked about.
Conclusion/Summary
 In conclusion I would say me and others may find these kind of movies
entertaining because of the points I have talked about
