I definitely saw the Quentin Tarantino influence in this movie! It was BRUTAL but Patricia Arquette was incredible. She was so likeable, maybe the only truly likeable character in the whole movie? I think they really did love each other! crazies!

(this is a scheduled post in hopes that the video is done processing by the time you see this!)

Yeah the whole thing about killing Drexel just didn't seem to fit Clarence's personality. A comic book nerd who loves kung fu movies and Elvis. And now suddenly he's a cold blooded killer because he met a girl? But yeah aside from that, awesome movie.

IMO, Clarence was a lonely guy, who daydreamed a lot. He had ideas about who he wanted to be and who he could be, but never had the courage to do anything himself. He kept his spirits up by talking to his own personal cheerleader in his mind, in the form of Elvis. Then Clarence meets Alabama and she says She loves him and they’re married all in less than 24 hours, I believe. Clarence gets caught up in this whirlwind romance, and realizes that he isn’t alone anymore. He’s got to be somebody now, for Alabama. He wants to be strong. He wants to be courageous. He wants to be the biggest and best guy in her life. He needs to prove this to Alabama, and Drexl was his opportunity. Clarence didn’t even know who Clarence actually was or what he was capable of, until he was tested. When he went to Drexl’s, he was scared out of his mind, but knowing he had Alabama now, it gave him courage. Admittedly, he got that “Stupid” kind of courage that allows you to do something, totally irrational. But it was courage nonetheless, and something he never had until Alabama came into his life. He barely made it out of Drexl’s house alive and when he came back to his house to see Alabama, he was visibly all over the place. He was rambling and confrontational. He was losing it. Then Alabama said that what he did was “so romantic,” and kissed him and climbed into his lap. That right there centered him on “Who” he was going to be, from now on. The rest was history… and, on film, it was Awesome. Realistically though, I think it’s better to figure out who yourself is, Before, you get serious with or marry a girl. Don’t let a woman (or man) change you. Unless it’s for the better, of course. Just Don’t Lose YOU in the Process. ————————- Times up for this Therapy session. Next appointment scheduled for after Apocalypse Now. ;-)

The Elvis in the bathroom is Val Kilmer, not sure if anyone mentioned it

Well, if anything, Tarantino actually didn't like the outcome, a lot was changed from his original screenplay, he had nothing more to do with this film after the script was sold, he never liked how this movie turned out. He often said he wished he would've directed this movie.

I prefer Natural Born Killers. True Romance feels like Tarantino doing a practice run for NBK.

Fun little Quentin Tarantino character crossover theory. Producer Lee Donowitz in this movie could be the son or grandson of Donny Donowitz aka "The Bear Jew" from Inglorious Basterds. 😁
