Oh my gosh, the perfect film??

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2005)

Pulp Fiction remains my favourite film and is the bench mark that i judge all other films against ever but when you realise that the format for True Romance was the same and that it was Tony Scott who changed it to a linear format,then this could have been the perfect film. Having said that, it still remains one of the few films that i could watch at least once a week forever.Listening to QTs commentary on the 2 disc set, and the problems he had getting the film off the ground,it seems inconceivable that this film very nearly slipped away.Every time i watch this film, i always wish that i hadn't seen it and that this was the first time!! I rate it that highly.The razor sharp, snappy trademark QT dialogue, the music, the characters and the attention given to establish each one,the intricate build up to the final Mexican stand off,the music, even the ending(and here you have a choice!)Just reading the list of actors involved, Hopper,Jackson, Walken,Pitt, Kilmer, Slater,Arquette,(yeah, cistern lids don't break when you belt someone over the head with them! )Sizemore, Penn (sadly missed),etc says quality. And this,a first screen play?? A hidden gem, a cult movie?Shout it from the rooftops, this film is that good, and the whole world needs to know. It would be perfect if the deleted scenes could be inserted into their true position.This film never got the credit it deserved and still remains a classic amongst film goers who know their stuff. I only wish that this had been QTs first girlfriend,the one that he married!
