> But because this is not the case, we appreciate Tarantino more than we appreciate gangster movies.

Do we? I don't think people appreciate tarantino more than gangster movies. Don't think people appreciate tarantino more than pulp fiction. Frankly, tarantino doesn't factor in at all.

> It is about the process.

I never considered the process when watching pulp fiction. It's the finished product, not the process, that matters.

Put it this way, we know who tarantino is because of pulp fiction. Not the other way around.

> It's the finished product, not the process, that matters.

I think the point is that the finished product depends on the process.
