True Romance by rachelsherman
Hot damn, this film is so good. True Romance is a romantic crime film written by the man who brought you Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill (volumes 1 & 2), Reservoir Dogs, Death Proof, and his most recent badass tale Inglorious Bastards. So, if you didn't already figure it out, the film is written by Quentin Tarantino, the badass motherfucker of humor and violence. I swear, everything this man touches turns to gold.
True Romance is directed by Tony Scott, and stars Patricia Arquette as Alabama Whitman the wild little blonde call girl who falls in love with the kung-fu lovin' Clarence Worley (Christian Slater) who loves her bunches right back. The two get themselves into quite some trouble when Clarence kills Alabama's former pimp (played by Gary Oldman!), takes off with a briefcase of cocaine, and tries to settle a major drug deal in Los Angeles. They've really got some true romance going on and aren't afraid to show it. Everything about this film just makes me feel good, and total envious of everything from Alabama's eclectic wardrobe, cow print skirt included, to Clarence's pink and leopard cadillac, as well as their super sweet love for one another. Road movies just have a special place in my heart, and the energy of this movie is dynamite. Not to mention the supporting roles are filled with an amazing cast featuring Brad Pitt, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Kevin Corrigan, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Penn.
Soooo, this is one of my favorite romantic stories for sure, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes any of Tarantino's films.
