thank you, i had no idea this existed
It's the movie that i go to every 5 years, or so, since the 90's. It's a true classic among with Pulp Fiction. But it's kind of hard to digest that Tarantino does not mention Roger Avary at all, even though he wrote TrueRomance, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction with him. It's all water under the bridge now, but Avery was very local about how Tarantino stole the credits all the time. Ideas, conversations and credits. They got the Cannes Awards together for best Screenplay for Pulp Fiction.
and an oscar!! Agreed on all. Quite illuminating. The obsession with being a genius is something that creeps in
I'm glad Tony Scott directed this, so much star power in every scene.
Patricia Arquette won the Oscar for the wrong movie. She is the best part of this superb, wildly entertaining movie.
to this day True Romance is still my fav movie ever
Same
Yep. It's my favorite of his as well. 😀
Watched this in the cinema 🎥 when it was released in 1993. Went a few times.

@@IDPRUclips thx man!
Same!
Same! I cant get enough of his brain!!! QT is an inspiration
I love how Dennis Hopper’s character isn’t gonna sell out his son so he says the most infuriating thing to make Christopher Walken’s character kill him quick so they don’t torture him till he tells where Clarence is. There’s a lot of unsaid shit going on in the Sicilian Scene
theres a lot of unsaid sh* going on w/ this comment and its notoriety. Good ol boys showin their true colors
funny how artists get retroactively cancelled over embracing that word but Tarantino gets carried out on America's shoulders because he has the "tact" to USE S L. Jackson as a glorified modern example of the minstrel under the guise of social commentary
Hopper's presence, plus dialogue later in the movie, contributes to a breaking of the Fourth Wall. Do you know of it?
@@SasmakToyis the issue that Q uses the word in his writing at all or that he used it too much or that he uses it unnecessarily? Or all of the above?
I can understand critiquing his use of it at times but I don't think it's right to begrudge the use of the word in writing no matter what.
I had the "privilege" of seeing this film all alone in a theatre - on my 23rd Birthday. I went for a cheeseburger after. I've always felt a bond to this movie and Quentin's body of work ever since. I recently bought a 1997 Sebring convertible, and I'm only playing Tarantino movie soundtrack music...it seems appropriate. ;)
A cheeseburger? How could it not be pie?
Thanks Quentin. For writing this. And for all of your decisions once you got it green lit. It’s the perfect movie and my favourite oat.
A pillar of my upbringing and youth and into the future. Passionate genius!
Absolutely agree with Tony Scott's different ending and i respect Tarantino for agreeing with him
Yeah, shows no ego involved. Check out QT on the Sin City commentary here if you haven’t already ruclips.net/video/8coTokXZf8E/видео.html or Dusk Til Dawn ruclips.net/video/aUYB_9N8ljI/видео.html

Hey what’s your favorite movie in 2023?
Personally I titulate between True Romance and Tropic Thunder...you know to round out that comedy/tragedy effect
You're so cool. ❤️
Still waiting for the sequel: "The Continuing Adventures of Dick Ritchie and Fuckin' Floyd".
I was always under the impression that True Romance and Natural Born Killers emerged out of The Open Road. Premise/Genre-wise they are very similar movies: travelogue about young people in love as they commit crimes.
I thought Tarantino didn’t like the movie when it first came out?? I know for a fact he didn’t with Natural Born Killers. Has he come around to liking the film?? I’m a quarter of the way through the interview , and he seemed to like it out of the gate. I’ll keep listening. Fascinating interview. Wish it had actual scenes going on in the background, tho!
Masterclass. Movie and conversation! “First Work is BEST work.” Always. Keep ON! 🤘🏼🔥
Love the movie. Never had the chance to listen to this before. Thank you!

I've watched this. Commentary, And the one with Tony Scott and the best one is with Christian and Patricia 😎
the Sicilian scene is so singularly composed and delivered, and given the climate today, you could never make another like it. It was beautiful though. Everyone has heard of suicide by cop. This is unique because it's suicide by mafia.
You are out of your mind. Quentin Tarantino wrote two scenes just like it, the farmhouse scene in 2008 and the dinner table scene in 2013. NOTHING CHANGED. There is nothing in the Sicilian scene that is any more offensive to modern tastes than to 1993 tastes.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 both are good I'll give you that, neither have the punch of this particular scene it's truly the best acting of and writing of the last 30 years
Best movie scene ever

Tarantino & Friends 😢
When she fights back in "The Beating of Alabama" and becomes "too animalistic" is a metaphor for what extremes she'll go to in order to beat her past. Her standing over his body is a direct representation of rising above.
and she hits him over the head with the cistern lid and it doesnt break...!!!

Take a shot or bong hit every time Quentin says "alright".
Alright
Yeah drug yourself into a stupor. SO cool, to miss out on the details around you 🙄

Makes it on the poster for a minor role cause hes brad pitt lol. Might as well put gandolphini too.
@@Kinogotiate Gandolfini never had talent, pitt still does to this day, not really surprising they put the comic relief on the poster lmao
@@HunterMagunter I've always thought Pitt was an inept actor & absolutely skated by on his looks for 20 years till he acquired some skills. He'd have to be a complete moron to not learn anything after the company he's been privileged to keep.
Fabulous movie .
It's tarantino's masterpiece script wise
💯
Favorite Movie
Drexel should of had a longer part an more of a backstory....defo in my top 5
Drexel was superbly over the top. Oldman was totally spot on fantastic. He is wildly talented
As a none film maker makes me wanna write a film
Please don't!
It’s even fascinating that he seems to have brought his Pulp Fiction cast to the premiere while PF was in production. It surely inspired their performances in Pulp Fiction. Also what year is TR set ? The only scene that dates it is Dick Ritchie auditioning for TJ Hooker which was a television show from 1982-1986 . So obviously it’s somewhere in that dateline which judging by what Quentin says here is pretty much when he wrote a good chunk of the movie. However the most prominent song 🎧 in the movie is Drexel at the nightclub which was I want your body by Nymphomania , a 1991 dance tune . There is also a 1992 Soundgarden rock song in the soundtrack. Yet the movie has to be 1982- 86 so that’s a flaw of the film . Its soundtrack is all over the shop .
If you really watched the movie you’d know that it’s the new TJ Hooker series Dick Richie was auditioning for not the original TJ hooker.
The Aerosmith song rather dates the whole film
it's referred to as the "New" TJ Hooker. This movie is set in the 90's. The only flaw is in your research. Thank you.
Man I would love to see the movie cut like Quentin originally wrote it, because I think it honestly would be more interesting. Especially that scene with Walken. That scene is good, really good, but if it where our first depiction of the Drexel scene man that would’ve had me so far on the edge of my seat i would’ve been squatting fr.
he's such a nice and cool guy! he should teach a script writing class at a middle school and they could copy it and teach any middle schooler who wants how to write a screenplay. they could put it in place of sex Erica classes which turned out to be a total disaster and didn't work at all anyways.
What the hell is with the damn background chatter?? I’m not even five minutes into this and that’s driving me crazy!!!
That would be the film
Quentin suggests that Clarences' death is romantic.
And while I bow the knee at his writing normally,the happy ending is more romantic, in my opinion. Does anyone see what I mean? Do you disagree? Talk to me, Tarantino fans
I think had he died more directly in service to Alabama, it might have been both tragic and romantic, but walking out into a shootout and getting clipped is less so.
So yeah, surviving and living a happy life with her seems like the better ending to me. I mean, everyone wants a happy ending in a romantic story. It's not required, but it does help.
Tony Soprano wasn't even an idea yet. but Gandolfini sure looks like him while he's trying to get information from Patty Arquette. an old white friend of mine loves that scene w/ Dennis Hopper telling Walken about his roots. but a couple years ago, he learned that a rumor spread for years by his Step-Dad(after a couple belts), was true. that his blood kin father was Sicilian. he more recently had a DNA swab, which backs up the rumor. on top of that ,he's African American. BTW, he can play blues guitar, and play it well....interesting.
Galdofini was the same actor who turned out to be Tony soprano , that’s all!!
Also... because of intermingling by the conquering Moors, Sicilians are the only "white" people that contract Sickle Cell Anemia.
It bugs me so much how he doesn't even mention hans zimmer.
Alabama is my favorite character ever.
If we want to watch True Romance while playing Quentin’s commentary synced up exactly how do we do that? Where do we start the movie or where do we start the commentary?
Dave Edmunds had a couple hits. saw him in '89 w/that 'Rock & Roll review' band, featuring Graham parker and DION. but I get it. it's not a put down of ol' Dave. all 3 played Telecasters. great nite. I found out that very nite, that Dion wrote 'Abraham ,Martin & John'. just when you think y' know who wrote what, turns out 'yer wrong.
Great first effort.
True Romance is and has been my favorite movie since it's release, I had all my daughters to watch it as a late teen.... Lol
I wish this wasn't all jumbled. It starts right, and then it stops matching up
It’s because people think it’s possible to do movie commentary in time with scenes but when they actually do it, they soon realize that it’s not possible in reality, so they just end up talking and occasionally refer to the scene.
Why did it tank though? And i always will love it
Expectations of the masses? Who knows, but it is normal for anything we like or that has value to not be “popular.” I remember Ricky Gervais saying that only 15% of people find him funny, and that makes you one of the top comedians. Luckily the world is big enough that movies and things can succeed without becoming dumbed down or crowd-pleasers.

you can be red gaurd in skyrim LOL - tar tar sauce -
I'd like to see a roomful of Tarantinos desperately resisting the urge to talk over one another, ar'right?
50:42
the new Jurassic park should lose the T-rex icon and get replaced with the huge prehistoric Titanoboa as a main villian and be directed rated R like by yours truly no April foolsie
looking at that name credits in the vid, too bad Dennis Hopper didn't get the chance to be in a Tarantino flick that's actually directed by Quentin.
And Val...well, too bad they never worked together when he was in his prime.
Oldman...we'll see....

I am also a Hall of Fame couch potato.
Every leftist democrat in America under the age of 35 is a lazy, ignorant, clueless, couch potatoe. That's why America is on its last leg and is currently free-falling. It's almost gone and I can hardly wait for the day that you lazy sheep finally figure out that you lost all of your freedoms. By the end of 2025 you won't have a couch to even sit on.
America has fallen. Hallelujah!
