Interest in Pulp Fiction increased when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth read Ezekiel 25:17 from the film, which was written by Samuel L. was an apocryphal Bible verse performed by Jackson.
Filmed in an apartment, the scene comes at the beginning of the iconic black comedy crime film, when Jules Winnfield – a hitman portrayed by the actor – delivers the monologue in a bone-chilling way.
“He is truly his brother’s keeper and finder of lost children. And I will attack with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And when I take my vengeance on you you will know that my name is God,” he read before shooting the on-screen actor in front of him.
Although the Ezekiel 25:17 speech was fake, the fear was real, so much so that it could be cut with a knife.
But for Jackson, his favorite lines weren’t the terrible lines of his poetry; Instead, it was just a small part of what was unfolding at the scene of the interrogation.
‘My favorite line from Pulp Fiction is, “What country are you from?” What? “What” is not a country I have ever heard of. They are “what?” in English. Let’s speak. ‘I love that little segment,’ he previously told GQ.
Pete Hegest reads fake pulp fiction Ezekiel 25:17.
The drama unfolded after Hegesth shared at Wednesday’s service how U.S. special forces rescued a pilot killed in Iran.
According to a public witness, sharing vivid details, he claimed to repeat a prayer given at the beginning of the mission and urged his audience to join him.
But what Hegest read was not the Bible’s Ezekiel 25:17, but a mock verse previously shared by Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino, taken from the 1970s Japanese film Bodyguard Kiba.
