----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Funny thing is, Tarantino has more classical structure to his screenplays than most writers. He just disguises his plot points by switching the chronology of the story. In fact, the real plot of PF, the story of Jules redemption, is very linear and follows those plot points exactly. The same sort of thing goes for Reservoir Dogs, where we think it's about figuring out who the cop is, but it's really about the cop's predicament.. My point: the best structure these days is that which seems to be without structure.
