Did Marsellus Wallace die in this movie?


And if yes or not, why the references to, and not just with regards to the briefcase, his "soul" in this movie? Anyone know, thanks. (Besides the disturbing deserted "store" scene that we all "know" what it is, thanks.)

No he didn’t die and the contents of the briefcase is never known, even Quentin said it’s open for interpretation

No.

The theory that the briefcase contains Marsellus Wallace's soul is just a neat little explanation invented by fans of the film.

The idea isn't that Wallace is dead, but that he has sold his soul to the devil in exchange for power and success. The theory came about because A) the combination for the case is 666, and B) Wallace has a plaster on the back of his head. In some Eastern cultures, it is said that the devil takes the soul through the back of the head.

In reality, the briefcase is just a MacGuffin. There is no explanation as to what is in the briefcase. So people can let their imaginations run wild.

Well, if he didn't die in the movie, he was bound to at some point afterwards. He probably contracted AIDS, herpes, syphilis, hepatitis, gonorrhea, genital warts and so on. Of course from Zed. That's why I hoped and preyed during the movie that Marsellus Wallace had the time of his life being fucked by Zed. It sure looked like he was loving it. Did you hear his deep gutteral moans and groans? I'm sure Zed must have had a pretty good sized cock for him.

THAT WAS WEIRD AND HOMOEROTIC.

And you were I'm sure very jealous of Marsellus Wallace. Probably bitter and pissed, wondering "how could that black ass get so damn lucky?
