An interesting take on Pulp Fiction was to give it Christian pseudo-religious trappings, redefining the entire story.

To start with, the central character of Marsellus Wallace is a devil, if not “the” devil, and his two hit men are fallen angels, his subordinates. The MacGuffin, contained in the stolen briefcase, is a soul whose ownership is uncertain.

The men who stole the briefcase dabbled in witchcraft and were able to steal the soul.

Other characters were those who vied to sell their souls, such as the unseen Vietnam veteran dying in a prison camp, the aging boxer desperate for money who agrees to take a fall, but not only reneges but accidentally kills the devil’s up and coming boxer.

It might a good Master’s thesis some day.

Certainly it was a powerful movie about good and evil, though it's hard for me to figure exactly on which side Tarantino falls at any given moment.

Your comment on the briefcase is brilliant, something that previously had not occurred to me at all.

You probably already know that the combination to the briefcase lock is 6-6-6.
