| Purpose of use |
For use in article subsection "Critical analysis"/"Notable motifs"/"The mysterious briefcase". The image is used for explication of sourced critical commentary on Pulp Fiction's widely discussed allusion to this moment. The illustrated allusion to Kiss Me Deadly is one of the most widely analyzed moments in Pulp Fiction (Sources: Ebert, Roger (1997). Questions for the Movie Answer Man, p. 186 (Kansas City, Mo.: Andrews McMeel). ISBN 0836228944; Groth, Gary (1997). "A Dream of Perfect Reception: The Movies of Quentin Tarantino", in Commodify Your Dissent: Salvos from The Baffler, ed. Thomas Frank and Matt Weiland, p. 188 (New York: W.W. Norton). ISBN 0393316734). In combination with the comparable image from Pulp Fiction, the presence of this image helps the reader to understand the critical commentary and assess the relation between the two scenes and actions (Source: Gallafent, Edward (2006). Quentin Tarantino, p. 46 (London: Pearson Longman). ISBN 0582473047). Critic Dana Polan focuses on precisely this visual comparison, employing these two images (Polan, Dana. (2000). Pulp Fiction, p. 20 (London: BFI). ISBN 0851708080). In addition, in the general context of the article, it also illustrates one of the most significant of the many cinematic allusions employed by Tarantino, and one of the most visual, as well (Source: Gormley, Paul (2005). The New-Brutality Film: Race and Affect in Contemporary Hollywood Cinema, p. 164 (Bristol, UK, and Portland, Ore.: Intellect). ISBN 1841501190). The use of the image in this location and context makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. |
| Replaceable? |
As a screenshot of a unique cinematic scene, any comparable image would be similarly under copyright, so no free image plausibly exists or could exist that would be a valid replacement. |
