Review of True Romance (1993) by Brendan C — 21 Dec 2012

This is what a Quentin Tarantino type of love story. When he thinks of romance it's like this film. The film is violent, dark, and romantic at times. Tarantino wrote the screenplay, but he didn't direct it.

You can see his style in the screenplay writing when you watch the film, because of all of the violence, brutality, and foul language. It even has the usual all start cast that he usually has in his films.

You can see how it was written by Tarantino, but you can tell that he didn't direct it. It doesn't seem like an older film like the stuff that he directed does. The film doesn't have the indie film style that his films like Pulp Fiction have.

That is how you see the difference of what the film is like when he only writes it, and doesn't both direct and write it. The film is about a guy named "Clarence" who meets this cute girl named "Alabama" and falls in love with her in one night.

She confesses to him that she was paid by Clarence's boss to go out with him, because he never gets out, and he wanted Clarence to have a fun time on his birthday. She is a prostitute, but she actually fell for him in that one night.

Typical cliché that you see in all love stories. Clarence goes and kills her pimp who is portrayed by Gary Oldman. She thinks that was such a romantic thing to do, which I think Tarantino wanted her to have that reaction to make fun of really cheesy romance in older love stories.

The type of romance that when you think about it is really awful, and makes you want to spew. But they get married after that. The big conflict is that after he killed the pimp he grabbed what he thought was Alabama's bag, but turned out to be a bag with over 200,000 dollars worth of cocaine.

They try to sell it, but the gangsters try to come and get them, because it belongs to them. The film got really crazy and intense in the end, and it was awesome. This was a great movie that was written by Quentin Tarantino, but directed by Tony Scott, that not a lot of people have seen, but they should see if they like Tarantino.

I don't really think about Tony Scott directing this film, as you can see by how I don't really talk about him, and I just talk about Tarantino in this film. But Tony Scott did do a great job.

Great movie.
