Pulp Fiction metaphor for Holland
Is Mia's visiting Amsterdam a metaphorical expression of going to Los Angeles? The real world one I mean. Mia allows herself to go into her self-exploration mode in the opposite way that we do in the real world.
Our entertainment retreat - the film world - becomes Mia's and Vincent's work world -- their real world is in the story. But for us it's the reverse: we go to work and live our dramatic lives, while Mia visits her dream world (our real world) as Uma Thurman.
is Holland:
- HAL land
- HOLE land (hole as gateway)
- Netherlands - genitals?
- Amsterdam as the capital of Holland - so, Holland as Hollywood - Amsterdam as Los Angeles.
notice here too though that there's a transposition of the greater entity being inside the smaller entity. That is, in real life we have it one way, but in the film/story/dream world, it's "just there it's a little different"
