[@pariah1165gaming]

And for Tarantino to admit that YOU made a better cinematic choice than HE did, you know it’s gotta be good.

[@andrewmontague9682]

It takes a big person to admit that and I think he loves movies more than he does being “right”.

[@withnail-and-i]

To be fair he's a big Tony Scott fanboy, and it was a different vision (as it goes with the vision of the writer vs. vision of the director) that he could get behind.

[@NiceHulk]

I've always taken it to mean that Tarantino thinks Scott's ending is better in Scott's film. But if Tarantino had done the film himself he would have used his original ending.

To see Patricia Arquette in this film and then see her in _Boardwalk Empire_ is actually painful for your eyes.

He cares more about another filmmakers passion to the craft. And at the end of the day, Quentin has respect for tony. On a side note I’d love to hear tarantinos reaction to Gary oldman as Drexyl

[@michaelnorman3393]

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

Other thing that was changed was that it's told in chronological order, which suits the movie better because I don't think the audience would get as good attachment to the characters if not starting from the who they are and how they meet and fall in love. Then the intense trajectory of them becoming an odd couple that kinda changes both and they have a huge problem which is the driving force to keep watching. Not doing it chronologically would have spoiled unneccesary things and I don't think helped with the pace. Unchronological works much better with Tarantino when there is more characters in important roles than these two that are together most of the film. You can play with it in more meaningfull or cool way when there is many characters criss-crossing each other. True Romance is in the end about these two falling in love and being on a run, I don't want it to be shown kinda like Memento with the idea where audience thinks: "How do they get into this situation"? I don't think it would have been neccesary since the tension builds up thru the movie more and more as it is. It would have done the opposite of what it did in Memento or Irreversible kinda deal (even if not totally from back to the start) and deflate a lot of the tension in True Romances case. I think that was an another good call from Tony Scott.

[@waddeazy352]

Did not know this. If true, then Quinton must've been either working on pulp fiction or since it didn't happen in this movie he wrote pulp fiction so he could do it. Cause I think he was one of the first to write and direct a movie loke pulp fiction. Also, did you know that he was a co writer on pulp fiction. Other dude never got too much credit. Other then the award they received for best screenplay. If u go back and watch the acceptance speech, Quinton talks alot longer then he was probably supposed to, which in turn gave other dude less time. I've always wondered if he did that on purpose to gather more fans and also downplay the other guy's contribution to the movie's script

[@aleksisuuronen5969]

@@waddeazy352 well Quentin has always liked to play with time in differend ways with his scripts, more in some than others. Reservoir Dogs already does it also. He says that it's more so because he writes in novel form. I don't think he per se invented it but studios always tought that it would be too confusing for viewer, he did prove that wrong. Yeah I know. Roger Avary, he typed out True Romance with typewriter since Quentin writes by hand and the story goes that they both wrote a lot at the time and stuff got mixed up. Then in 90's Tarantino went into campain how Avery got essentially nothing to do with Pulp Fiction and it's most likely because he has encyclopedic knowledge of even very niche movies down to editors and he knows directors second movie defines them most. He wanted the indrusty see him as writer-director so he bashed Roger Avery. Kinda like he bashed Oliver Stone for doing few changes in Natural Born Killer's script to make a stamp about his scripts, but was silent when Tony Scott wanted to change his script and he didn't have Pulp Fiction out yet. So I think it was a lot of ruthless business moves to minimize Avary's contribution to Pulp Fiction's script. Btw, Roger Avary has a movie called Killing Zoe, it's worth a watch. These days Quentin is ok with Oliver Stone and Roger Avary. It cannot be denied that Quentin does have an ego and is bad at sharing (like first giving the idea of Rick in Once Upon freaking out in the trailer and now have talked in one podcast how it was basically his idea)(there is countless examples). He just thinks Once Upon is his createst work so he doesn't have to be insecure about Pulp Fiction and Avary and also just have solid material in between from the three decades. I think him and Avery have a podcast now, haven't yet checked it out.
