MCT:September 4, 2008This is Quentin Tarantino's first movie. He was the writer. Christian Slater plays a character based on Tarantino. This was made when Patricia Arquette was hot. It's very violent, but a lot of good characters. Brad Pitt plays a cool stoner. Very good movie.

Move over Jack and Rose, this is the couple that should forever be remembered as the poster childs for true love and madness.

This movie is crazy! There's loads of stars and this couple is just crazy! They have an odd view of love. I'm just glad it ended happily.

MCT:September 2, 2008An overrated movie with an ensemble cast. The Walken/Hopper scene is great, it's the only thing I will remember this movie by.
Too bad that there are so many good actors in the movie. Most of 'em do some very quick scenes and then they're out. Brad Pitt does also a very memorable scene as the pothead Lloyd.
The movie is a basic Tarantino film (his script) with a lot of dialogue that basically have no higher purpose. It will entertain you and give some very good scenes but still it left me kinda cold. -
MCT:August 26, 2008I should give this another chance. The performances were spectacular, but I didn't get the point of it.

A brilliant cast of actors in this action adventure about a couple on the run from the cops and mob. Sort of a modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Brad Pitt! Brad Pitt! Brad Pitt! Enough said.
-
MCT:August 21, 2008Nonostante la sceneggiatura di Tarantino e il cast di rilievo, non mi è piaciuto quasi nulla di questo film. Probabilmente, se fosse stato solo per la regia di Tony Scott non l'avrei nemmeno preso in considerazione.

What's not to like about this movie. Well, maybe Christian Slater. This movie is jam packed with talented actors. The screenplay was written by Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott, who are both very talented. Speaking of talent, you have Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in the same flick. Then you have all these other staple actors like Chris Penn and Val Kilmer popping up. Whether Tarantino likes it or not, this movie turned out to be a great experience. He could always go back and redo it now that he's loaded. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Slater, he still manages to pull off a decent performance and make it his own. The script stands true to any other QT story, filled with great dialogue and a wonderful story.

Awesome! Best ensemble cast ever: Slater, Arquette, Hopper, Oldman, Sizemore, Kilmer, Penn, Walken, L. Jackson. All with a Tarantino script. Anything else?

A completely odd movie. It was disturbing dark and unpredictable. It was the first glimpse into the amazing tarrentino

MCT:July 30, 2008A great film with a great cast. An iconic film that only captures your attention with ease. Plus, Brad Pitt has an excellent cameo that is really quite funny.

Not the typical love story & there's a price to pay in True Romance.Very entertaining film with plenty of violent scenes.

Supprisingly good action film - I think Quintin Tarantino was involved in the wrting somewhere, it shows...

Another great film penned by Tarantino, this tells the story of a escort girl Alabama and comic book store worker Clarence (Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater) who find true love in each other after she is set up with him by a friend of his. Deciding to flee after Clarence has a run in with one Alabama's pimp Drexl Spivey (Gary Oldman), they take a suitcase with half a million dollars worth of raw, uncut cocaine with them to Los Angeles to try and sell it, despite having a mob from Detroit (led by Christopher Walken) as well as the LAPD on their tails. They find Clarence's friend Dick (Michael Rapaport) who helps them find a buyer for their cocaine through a friend high up in the movie industry.
A huge cast and Tarantino's story makes it another modern classic. -

Quentin once said he was disappointed in this film because it wasn't shot the way he wrote it but Tony Scott is still better than Ridley.
-
MCT:July 8, 2008
omg... this movie is amazing, Quentin's first big movie that he wrote, and it is amazing. Love the dialogue, Tony Scott never dissapoints, and the acting is amazing. Brad Pitt is hilarious, Slater and Arquette are phenomenal, and the story is so ridiculous that it is believable. I Love this movie!

we should thank to tarantino for such a good senary .although tarantino's senary is changed a lot you can easily feel the tarantino speeches and contradictory way of the movie.by the way, patricia's voice is just great

MCT:June 30, 2008"true romance" is another hallmark of 90s neo-noir subculture since tarantino rises up with "pulp fiction"...the story of "true romance" is the creation of tarantino's slacker reveries, and the result squeaks outloud as the memoir of a screwy geek's phallic fantasies as well as a naively twisted american dream with good sense of obscene humor. despite it's helmed by director tony scott, the tarantino spirit is reeking relentlessly.
an elvis presley fanatic who indulges himself in comics and cantonese kung-fu flicks discovers true love from a hooker (who insists calling herself "call girl") working for only 4 days with 3 clients. the hooker doesn't get tedious with the geek's endless chattering on elvis but feels amused instead. then the geek decides to kill the hooker's pimp to do her justice but accidentally elopes with a suitcase of cocaine. so they attempt to make a fortune for themselves out of it by heading hollywood for a whole big sale in spite of the involvement of ferocious mobsters.
tarantino once remarks in an interview, if he shows a girl the things he loves, she better f***ing like it! same goes for the scenarios of "true romance"...christian slater's character even wears a leather jacket with the flag of "repubic of china"(which is my country) on his back in the prologue of performing his chivalry while his ex-hooker wife is staring at the tv with early hong kong flick starring Yun-Fat Chow (that i've seen in childhood as well) as if he was the bruce lee reclaiming the pride of china with his magnificent kung-fu as well as his elvis-styled sun glasses. an abitrary don quixote lives in his fantasyland.
one element of the taratino formuli would be the pastiche of postmodern orientalism resulted from watching too many cantonese movies in adolescence, he devolpes an everlasting juvenile fetish over some oriental formalities without absorbing the meaning or he just misuses them willfully as his peculiar sort of humor, such as the jap samurai sword appears in "kill bill" and "pulp fiction". one cannot help but wonder he's just a deviant westerner over-obssessed on such matters with self-abandoned narcissism.
the pinnacle of hilarious brass would probably be the confrontation between dennis hopper and christopher walken, and the abusive joke is on sicillions being half-black (but it seems funnier to use the "ni" word) since their female ancestors have been ravished by the moors so much.
the aspect of its deranged american dream would probably the protagonists' careless naivete to sell the coke then get rich, and apparently the flick is more in a romancist's angle since they make it and it also gratifies the audience's testerone with enough provovations of violence, profanity and a titilating blonde bombshell who seems dumb enough to utter "you're so cool!" all the time to stimulate your libido. wouldn't that be an ideal boyish dreamland? being a never-do-good then suddenly, boom! you get everything and a hot chic! but who would say it's no fun despite it's obviously impractical and far from reality? ha. -
MCT:June 30, 2008
With the most amazing ensemble cast in decades you get much more than expected from actors not around so much anymore. This film goes out in typical Tarrantino fashion with guns, gore and a brilliant score. If for nothing else you will love it for that.
