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

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

No “coffee talk.” Straight to the point. Like a mini jolt to the system.

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.

Joke Time:

Why did the movie director cross the road?

To skip the backstory and get straight to the action!

Or:

Ever noticed how some movies just throw you right into the action? No “How was your day?” or “What did you have for lunch?” Just BAM! It’s like the movie’s saying, “Forget it, we don’t have time for pleasantries. There’s a heist going on!” I mean, who needs character development when you’ve got explosions, right?

Onward,
