Pulp Fiction: The Curious Case of the Case

Pulp Fiction (1994) is one of the most talked about and magnum opus among all the crime cinemas which are released in last 30 years. Every scene just poised you for a moment where you develop the kind of  famishment until you realize that you need to consume more and more every time you watch it. Be it Vincent's counterpoint personality where he plays a hit man yet fantasize about cop life style by reading Modesty Blaise comic strip, or the act of god mark by Jules Winnfield which forces him to drive his life towards nirvana, there is every little detail in the movie which falls into place just right and you are not gratified even after the movie is finished. You just want to know more and think about those lovely details more. 

There is one thing in the movie which leaves many questions to answer. What was in that case? There are many theories floating on Internet with some interesting remarks, some with illogical hypothesis, and some with hilarious reasoning. I would like to share my theory.

I don't know why but it makes me to reach to a conclusion where I want to believe that there is no Gold Bricks or Diamonds in the case, but, some sort of antique or historic piece. That's because anyone who opens it, is astonished by the thing inside it and in their eyes you see a kind of exclamation which one can only get on seeing a captivating and resplendent beautiful piece. So it was not greediness that you see in their eyes. So we need to have things which are artistically significant or historical important. May be something similar to a piece-of-museum. 

Now here is the thing, since it belongs to Mr. Wallace and Mrs. Wallace (Mia) being a big big Elvis fan, it leads me to believe that the suitcase has the golden suit of Elvis. (Read The Story of Elvis Presley’s Gold Lamé Suit )

Now the question is how did I came to this conclusion ? Well, think about the last diner scene when Jules opens the case in front of Ringo. There is an interesting conversation:

Ringo: Is that what I think it is?

Jules: Mm..mm

Ringo: It's Beautiful..

Surely the thing that leaves Ringo spellbound should be some unique antique item or historic material.

 The golden suit is actually seen in the movie... Don't believe me ? See this yourself (on far right)
