TONY SCOTT A TRUE ROMANTIC

On Monday we were devastated to here that Tony Scott, the director of one of our favourite films, True Romance, had committed suicide. Tony Scott done an amazing job on the movie and was himself such a True Romantic at heart that he changed the ending of the original script written by Tarantino. In the original Clarence dies and Alabama drives away with all the money but Scott couldn't kill Clarence instead he opted for the happily ever after ending.

On this Scott said;

I was criticized for making it such a sweet and romantic end, but honestly, in my heart of hearts, I did this for creative reasons and not for commercial reasons. I wasn’t a sell-out. This was how I believed the movie should end, and I wanted to see my characters survive and live happily ever after, because, for me, the movie is a strange nursery rhyme, and I want my characters to continue on to live happily ever after.

Well R.I.P Mr Scott and we thank you for this violent but beautiful film.
