True Romance 4K 1993 DC

Watching "True Romance" is worth at least to enjoy the string of excellent actors in episodic roles. Such a rich collection of talent per centimeter of film is rare. One Christopher Walker playing the Italian mafioso is worth it. Old Denis Hopper in police uniform is in no way inferior to him. Brad Pitt in the role of an eternally drugged parasite neighbor pleases with the absence of any glamor and - which has not yet rolled on him in full in 1993 - stardom. Val Kilmer as Elvis Presley is almost unrecognizable but flamboyant. Gary Oldman, who received unforgivably little screen time, is, as always, organic in any way, this time he is a nutty pimp with dreadlocks. And, of course, the main characters are Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater. This duet is beautiful in itself.

This early work by Tony Scott is dynamic and rebellious. Freedom, love and youth. Intoxicating, to be honest, so I don't want to talk about the inevitable small minuses. So I won't. And I can only say that the cinema is not only energetic and youthful, but also very Tarantino. His handwriting is felt not only in the script he wrote, but also in Scott's organic direction, editing, music and the very spirit of the film.

It seems to me personally that Quentin Tarantino wrote the script of his own ideal novel, the love that he himself dreams of. It is not for nothing that a similar idea slips into many of his films, starting with 'Pulp Fiction'. Remember a couple at the beginning of the tape?

And despite the inevitable shootings, bright and numerous blood stains, cruelty and murder, 'True Romance' is a very positive movie. Here it is clear from the very beginning that there will be a happy ending and that love, if it is real, will triumph over evil. And isn't that wonderful?
