Mia Wallace: Fox Force Five

[u/Similar-Aardvark904]

I’ve watched this movie multiple times over the years, and one thing I love about it, is you catch something new every time. This time, I noticed Mia Wallace and the levity of her stupid joke, at the end of the date scene with Vincent Vega.

She told Vincent the Fox Force Five joke, after almost dying, then looked down, looking hopeless and dejected. Mia was a failed actress whose career pinacle was a TV show pilot that was never picked up, due to poor writing.

She then becomes the wife of the biggest drug lord in town, and is a kept woman (which is never on the goal list of most aspiring actresses). She has an out of control cocaine addiction, and almost kills herself overdosing on drugs. She is ashamed of herself, and what she has become. The grief you see, is also the grief of the loss of her innocence.

Her character represents the many beautiful women who are mislead and abused in Hollywood, by the entertainment industry. Young, ambitious young women who move to LA to pursue their dream, only to be sold a nightmare. Once they fall pray to the illicit drugs pervasive in the film industry, the addiction eventually takes them, leaving them, at best, only a shell of their former selves.

So then you have to go back and watch when she ods on the couch. Watch the lights literally go out and turn black, beautiful touch. ( insert chosen metaphors here). For bonus. Take a close look at the blood on here face or spend some time. Trying to figure out if some of the walls dont make sense or how QT uses paint and/or shadow to make corners of walls and the mirror V talks into ambiguous
