"You're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool."
This is my husbands all time favourite movie and I'm sure its one of the many reasons I love him.
Here you've got Christian Slater's character Clarence Worley who loves movies, comic books and Elvis Presley. Oh you had me at hello. Then comes along Alabama (Patricia Arquette), an odd ball girl who is so open and honest, its very refreshing, and they are in loooooooove. Then you secretly put Val Kilmer in the background as Elvis and this film automatically jumps to the top of my all time favs.
True Romance is proof that Quentin Tarantino is an amazing writer. Don't get me wrong, he's an wonderful Director too, but it's his writing that changes worlds. I adore films with a lot of dialog and and he's a fox for it. If you are unlucky enough to have not seen the film, it would be worth hunting down a copy for one scene alone. The moment between Christopher Walken (the man is a God) and Dennis Hopper is for lack of a better word.. perfection. Oh and a little secret, the words "eggplant" and "cantaloupe" were ad-libbed.
True Romance all though not directed by Tarantino is most defiantly one of his movies. Full of everything you want and expect to see. My personal favourite trait about Quentin Tarantino is that he's a Fan Boy, and me being a Fan Girl I can really appreciate it. There are so many pop culture references (in particular film references!) in the film, my head almost exploded.
I can talk about True Romance for hours, but its hard to write down. My thoughts move so fast I end up stuttering and stammering "oh and the bit when they.. and what about the thing.. and that guy.. and Brad Pitt with that.." You get the idea. So I'll just finish off by saying, everyone should have a little refresher course in love and True Romance is a great place to start.
