Tarantino donated his first handwritten draft of the 1994 Pulp Fiction script to the museum while he was giving his speech to the audience.
Travolta looked dapper in a black suit jacket paired with a turtleneck sweater for the evening, while Tarantino sported a tuxedo.
comes later Samuel Jackson showed that he can still recite his character’s famous speech, Ezekiel 25:17, after more than three decades since he filmed Pulp Fiction.
In recognition of the 30th anniversary of the release of the now-classic crime film, the legendary actor shared a video of himself sitting on a couch delivering his famous lines during the intense interrogation scene.
“The path of the righteous man is plagued on all sides by the inequalities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” he begins from the top of the clip. ‘Blessed be he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.’
He continued: ‘And I will strike you with great vengeance and furious wrath; those who try to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is Lord when I apply my vengeance on you.
‘YOU KNOW I STILL HAVE IT!!! EZEKIEL 25:17 HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY FROM PULP FICTION,” Jackson, 75, captioned the post.
Basically, Jackson’s Jules Winnfield uses the fictional Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17 as a way to justify his violent actions as a sort of “executioner” before meting out justice against those who deserve punishment.

In fact, Jules recites Ezekiel 25:17 several times during the film, which stars John Travolta as Vincent Vegas, Jules’ accomplice who works for Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames).
The first time occurs near the beginning of the film when Jules and Vincent are sent to kill Brett (Frank Whaley) inside a small apartment where there are three other people inside, although one is hiding in the bathroom.
“Do you read the Bible?” Jules asks as he stands in a black suit and tie and his victim sits in a chair. ‘Well, there is a passage that I have memorized; It kind of fits this occasion. Ezekiel 25:17’, and then begins to read his speech, which becomes louder and more intense until he finishes and then shoots Brett dead.
The speech is often considered one of the best monologues in cinema.
Written and directed by Tarantino from a story he conceived with Roger Avary, the crime film tells four intertwined stories of crime and violence in Los Angeles.
It won the Palme d’Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and was a huge critical and commercial success, grossing $213.9 million at the worldwide box office on a budget of between $8 and $8.5 million.

Along with Roth, Plummer, Jackson and Travolta, who in the wake of all their success helped spark a career resurgence, the cast includes Uma Thurman, Harvey Keitel, Maria de Medeiros, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette, Christopher Walken and Bruce Willis.
Its many awards and recognitions include an Academy Award for Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen for Tarantino and Avary from the seven nominations it received, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Travolta and Best Supporting Actor for Jackson. .
The title refers to the pulp magazines and hard-boiled crime novels popular in the mid-20th century, known for their graphic violence and blunt dialogue.
Pulp Fiction is widely considered to be Tarantino’s masterpiece and has since been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
