“Forget it. It’s too risky. I’m through doing that shit.”

That’s how Pulp Fiction (1994) throws you right into the action in the opening scene. No fluff, just BAM—you’re in it.

Forget the “coffee talk.” Get straight to the point. It’s like a mini jolt to the system.

You start with action, throw them into the fire, and hook them before explaining anything. It’s pure power.

Think of it like this. You get hit with a shock first. Later, when you’ve calmed down, comes the backstory. But by then, you’re already hooked. Your audience is glued.

That’s storytelling at its best.

My friend from India, Pranav, shared this awesome lesson.

Tomorrow I’m going to break down the concept of skipping the backstory for you... in a tiny analysis.
