You can't help but fall in love with the two stars of "True Romance"! Director Tony Scott, who I loved so much that I even changed the ending *Note! Contains spoilers.

A masterpiece born during an unprecedented Tarantino fever (Warning! The ending of the movie is mentioned below!)

In True Romance, comic book shop worker Clarence (Christian Slater) and call girl Alabama (Patricia Arquette) fall passionately in love and get married the day after they meet. This is a crime love story in which a man heads to Hollywood to sell a large amount of cocaine he unexpectedly obtained, but ends up being chased by the mafia and the police.

True Romance cost $14.5 million to make. For Scott, who specialized in blockbuster films, the film was perceived as a medium-sized entertainment, if not a low-budget one. On the other hand, the reason why this amount seemed so astronomical was probably Quentin Tarantino, the unknown young man who wrote the screenplay. Tarantino originally wrote True Romance as his debut novel. The idea was to shoot on 16mm film on a low budget of about $60,000.

Eventually, Tarantino sold the rights to True Romance and made his directorial debut with Reservoir Dogs (1992). He created a sensation with a style that mixed old and new B-movies and Hong Kong noir, and his second film, Pulp Fiction (1994), won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He was exactly the Cinderella boy who appeared in Hollywood.

After many True Romance'' was decided to be directed by William Lustig, who had a background in porn and had directed B-movies such as `` Maniac Cop .'' However, Tony Scott, who is very popular, shows interest in the script, and Lustig is dropped. According to Jamie Barnard's book Tarantino by Tarantino , Tarantino was the one who jumped at the idea of ​​Scott directing, and Lustig was almost fooled.

The happy ending, which is said to have been rewritten at Tony Scott's request, was written by Tarantino's writing partner Roger Avary at Lustig's request. Tarantino also recommended the original ending in which Clarence dies, and Scott respected the wishes of the new screenwriter and shot two versions of the final scene. Regarding the decision to ultimately adopt a happy ending, Scott commented, ``I fell in love with Clarence and Alabama and couldn't help but want to kill them.''

The charm of ``True Romance'' is all about Scott's comments. The audience can't help but love and root for this reckless, unthinking, and morally questionable protagonist couple. Directing ``True Romance'' also introduced Scott to a character he could really get into.
