But i still don't understand how bruce willis's charcter is connected to the main story??? and what about peggy sue what does her drug addiction have to do with anything?
Bruce was the character that centered around the redemption idea I think, as well as Jules. Bruce was offered a deal (by the devil?) and he took it at first but at the last minute didn't go through with it. Meanwhile he kills a man. Later in the film I believe he is put in a position where he can work towards redemption (by saving his enemy). Jules "saves" the two robbers at the end, playing into the prophet that walks the earth theme mentioned earlier in the thread (Jesus?).
Again I bring up to cinematic homage he is paying to many films here:
I mentioned the Attache' Case inspired by
Kiss Me Deadly
When Marcellus is walking across the street in front of Bruce's car, the scene is shot almost exactly like a similar scene in Hitchcock's
Psycho.
The cleaner, Wolf, is a character drawn off the cleaner in
La Femme Nikkita, a character Keitel plays in the american remake
Point of no Return (originally Jean Reno)
I have read that the Jule and Jimmy scene centered around Jimmy's wife coming home is drawn directly from a film
Jules et Jim. I have not seen this film.
That said, Quinton himself has said some things are left up to the viewer to interpret and he purposely didn't try to interpret it for you.
e.g.
Things that could be in the case:
Marcellus's soul
The diamonds from
Reservoir Dogs
gold
A nuclear device
As for the drug addiction, Just who is peggy sue? I remember a character named Mia overdosing.
