“I had to come all the way from the highway and byways of Tallahassee, Florida to MotorCity, Detroit to find my true love. If you gave me a million years to ponder, I would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit would ever go together. And til this day, the events that followed all still seems like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he’d say, “that’s the way it goes, but don’t forget, it goes the other way too.” That’s the way romance is… Usually, that’s the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too”
Alabama - True Romance
One of my favorite films. Sometimes I wonder how much cooler it would have been if it had been directed by Tarantino himself.
In Tarantino’s original script the ending wasn’t such a happy ending. Clarence actually dies. I like how True Romance ended even with the changes Tony Scott made, but if Quentin Tarantino had directed it there may have been a sequel…
