The fact my last review got so much attention I felt like I owed it to you guys to do another one.
Absolutely brilliant and here’s why..
This movie just proves that even a prostitute (call girl in Alabama’s case) deserves a love and that is epic in their life. I’m such a sucker for a good romance film but I can safely say this is like no other romance I have ever seen! To be fair the fact Quentin Tarantino wrote the majority of this I kinda knew it was going to be good! On reading up on this film apparently Tarantino sold the script to Tony Scott for 50,000 to fund the Reservoir Dogs. Tony then paid Roger Avary to re write the ending. I found a couple of different endings read up yourself if you wish because there was far to many details to fit in this short review.
Favourite scene has got to be the scene with clarences dad and the Sicilians. It was just executed perfectly, he obviously knew he was a gonner but just had to get that whole n***** speech before hes last breath. All the fake laughs and uncertainty in that caravan made that scene so tense yet so amusing. The fact he let clearances dad know how much he had got under he’s skin by shooting him I think made he’s death that bit easier, and then to top it all of he’s address was magneted to the fridge.
Also a big fan of all the small details, like why did Clarence have about 10 shots of sugar in hes coffee?
The cute matching horse shoe wedding rings Clarence and Alabama had that elvis was also wearing.
The Pepsi joke Alabama made at the start of her brutal fight scene. Also may I just add what a bad bitch she actually is. Literally laughing in the face of that guy while been battered within inches of her life. Fair play girl.
I doubt anyone reading this will even know what I’m on about with this bit (generation thing) but the Boris which was Lee’s body guard starred in one of my favourite childhood programmes ‘good luck Charlie’ which made me smile.
So to conclude I was going to give this a 8/10 but getting seeing the dashingly handsome Brad Pitt boosted this up to a 9/10.
That fact about Brad Pitt shows, but it defintely works. Stoner answering simple questions incorrectly, works for me.
Makes sense as to why he just told them where Clarence and the clan were not effecting the storyline at all. He’s newer stuff is much better but cheers xD
Apparently Brad Pitt was originally set to play Clarence. They decided to go with Christian Slater so Brad Pitt just asked if he could be in the movie. He had no lines and apparently came up with his character and the dialogue himself.
Also, you're Dad's track is a lot better than I was expecting.
What a tune! Got me pumped for a mad Friday night now but nowhere to go 😂😂😂
He didn't really get many starring roles, in fact The Sopranos might even be the only thing he had a lead role in. Don't think he did too much after that before he sadly died at the age of 50, well you're in for a massive treat if you start that anyway, very binge-worthy indeed, one of the best shows ever! And agree about this group, we've all said its getting us to watch things we'd never really think of, some of the choices have certainly been interesting, My Dinner with Andre was something else 😂 OK going to listen to this track now
