True Romance

Watched this last night, I suppose I enjoyed it but it's pure Quentin Tarantino self-fanfiction. Good turn from Walken, great scene with Dennis Hopper.

What you think of it then

What you think of it then

I wouldn't disagree with this, but I would say it's probably less self indulgent than anything Tarantino has written in the past 20 years.

[bgmnts]

It's a top film. Always love me some Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette.

Good performances from almost everyone in it, quite like Brad Pitt's stoner dude.

That scene is so good I think it almost unbalances the film. I haven't seen it for a while but I have a memory that it uses the same Badlands style VO as Natural Born Killers.

It even uses the same music as Badlands doesn't it? Or was that just the trailer?

[Piggyoioi]

Yeah, uses Badlands jingle.

There is a Tarantino Edit on torrents. Originally the screenplay is jumbled up time wise, so you start of ahead of the movie, then go back and then go forward. Also the ending is different. I much prefer it to the Tony Scott edit.

It's not the same. It's a homage (French for rip off) by Hans Zimmer called "You're So Cool"

My wife walked down the aisle to it at our wedding which was 3 years ago tomorrow. Thanks.

[Dex Sawash]

Not Schwarzenegger's best film.

[greenman]

Opinion on Tony Scott directing it rather than Tarantino? for the better or the worse?

For the better I'd say as it feels like a story that needs rather more of a grounding in reality.

I have been meaning to rewatch this for a while now so this is wonderful news!

Oooh. Interesting...

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Horrible scene with Patricia Arquette getting battered by the Sopranos feller. For that reason, I'm oot.

[lipsink]

Apparently James Gandolfini got the part of Tony Soprano after David Chase watched True Romance. Gandolfini is sensational in this. Just a bit heavy breathing hulk of sexuality and menace. That whole scene with Alabama is  almost like an audition tape for the Sopranos.

[QDRPHNC]

Don't condescend me, man. I'll fuckin' kill ya, man.

[Swoz_MK]

Would have loved a Drexl film

Espeically that little reaction shot just after Hopper has insulted Walken.
