True
Romance is a classic. So many good scenes, great dialogue, fantastic
actors. Patricia Arquette is just amazing in it. Heck, even Christian
Slater was spot on. Chris Walken, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Brad
Pitt, James Gandolfini, Michael Rappaport all give over the top,
cinematic but really believable performances, and of course there's
Bronson Pinchot! It was a total flop in the theaters, but has since gone
on to retain a revered spot in film lore. When I was approached by The
Bottleneck Gallery to do a piece for their Get A Room show that was
held last night, I was stumped, there were a lot of options. Then I
thought about True Romance, thought it'd be the perfect. The Phone
Booth scene stands out as the epitome of youthful, romantic passion. I
also felt compelled to draw all the cool characters in the movie so I
busted out a montage in record time this week, only took a couple all
nighters. Interestingly, in Quentin Tarantino's original script,
Clarence dies at the end and Alabama hitchhikes away in a cold manner
with a briefcase full of money. Tony Scott fell in love with the
characters during the course of filming and decided he liked them too
much to not give them a sweet, romantic ending. Good call.
