The best Tarantino movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2013)

Like most of you guys I have seen all Tarantino's movies but I have always liked this one the most - to me, as a writer, creating the story or screenplay makes you the author of a movie. Tarantino wrote the movie And Tony Scott was the director. For this kind of writing, directors you can hire.
The screenplay is the most important creative process. And Scott changed True Romance to give the movie a happy ending. That was to avoid depressing the US test audience (no doubt in LA). But these days movies make their money worldwide as downloads, so why not test a movie with an international audience? They may well have gone with the original Tarantino ending (which I will not reveal here. Don't want to spoil the lucky first time viewer).
True Romance is one of the greatest movies of all time - and one I watch every year. Along with Grosse Pointe Blank, John Wayne's True Grit, the Danish version of Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
Do these movies have something in common? Yes - the story sells the movie. And it rolls along like a barrel down a hill -- you can't help watch where it's going. That is something the writers of the James Bond movies, including Skyfall (boring) should take on board.
Ian Flemming took the 'James Bond' name from a book on his shelf. The book, by James Bond is "Birds of The West Indies". That probably had a better story line than Skyfall.
