True Romance
by Veronique"true romance" is another hallmark of 90s neo-noir subculture since tarantino rises up with "pulp fiction"...the story of "true romance" is the creation of tarantino's slacker reveries, and the result squeaks outloud as the memoir of a screwy geek's phallic fantasies as well as a naively twisted american dream with good sense of obscene humor. despite it's helmed by director tony scott, the tarantino spirit is reeking relentlessly.
an elvis presley fanatic who indulges himself in comics and cantonese kung-fu flicks discovers true love from a hooker (who insists calling herself "call girl") working for only 4 days with 3 clients. the hooker doesn't get tedious with the geek's endless chattering on elvis but feels amused instead. then the geek decides to kill the hooker's pimp to do her justice but accidentally elopes with a suitcase of cocaine. so they attempt to make a fortune for themselves out of it by heading hollywood for a whole big sale in spite of the involvement of ferocious mobsters.
tarantino once remarks in an interview, if he shows a girl the things he loves, she better f***ing like it! same goes for the scenarios of "true romance"...christian slater's character even wears a leather jacket with the flag of "repubic of china"(which is my country) on his back in the prologue of performing his chivalry while his ex-hooker wife is staring at the tv with early hong kong flick starring Yun-Fat Chow (that i've seen in childhood as well) as if he was the bruce lee reclaiming the pride of china with his magnificent kung-fu as well as his elvis-styled sun glasses. an abitrary don quixote lives in his fantasyland.
one element of the taratino formuli would be the pastiche of postmodern orientalism resulted from watching too many cantonese movies in adolescence, he devolpes an everlasting juvenile fetish over some oriental formalities without absorbing the meaning or he just misuses them willfully as his peculiar sort of humor, such as the jap samurai sword appears in "kill bill" and "pulp fiction". one cannot help but wonder he's just a deviant westerner over-obssessed on such matters with self-abandoned narcissism.
the pinnacle of hilarious brass would probably be the confrontation between dennis hopper and christopher walken, and the abusive joke is on sicillions being half-black (but it seems funnier to use the "ni" word) since their female ancestors have been ravished by the moors so much.
the aspect of its deranged american dream would probably the protagonists' careless naivete to sell the coke then get rich, and apparently the flick is more in a romancist's angle since they make it and it also gratifies the audience's testerone with enough provovations of violence, profanity and a titilating blonde bombshell who seems dumb enough to utter "you're so cool!" all the time to stimulate your libido. wouldn't that be an ideal boyish dreamland? being a never-do-good then suddenly, boom! you get everything and a hot chic! but who would say it's no fun despite it's obviously impractical and far from reality? ha.has anyone noticed that taratino flashes the logo of 70s shaw movies in hong kong as the prologue in "kill bill"..."true romance" is written by taratino despited directed by tony scott. some details of odd usages on oriental symbols are funny if you do pay attention on them. for example, christian slater wears the nation flag of "republic of china" back on his leather jacket before he goes to slaughter a drugged pimp. ODD. it doesn't mean any loyalty to this nation but a postmodern whim in taratino tale. in case you don't know it:
