The news of Tony Scott's death is quite a shock. He truly left us much earlier than he should have. I know it's probably silly talking about movies when someone dies since their death is a big loss for many other reasons, but I think he had a lot of movies left in him that will never be made now. I like several of his movies, but there's one in particular that really affected me.
The movie True Romance is easily one of my favorites of all time. It was directed by Tony Scott. There are definitely other movies I love more, but I first saw that movie when I was a teenager and really fell in love with it. Those later teen years are a time of discovery and development where I think things have a greater chance of affecting you, and like so many other pieces of art have done, that movie made an indelible mark on me. As indelible as the tattoos that the characters Alabama and Clarence got in the movie.
Now I'll leave you with these somewhat relevant words from those characters:
ALABAMA
I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and
everything seemed so shitty, and he'd say, "That's the way it goes.
But don't forget, it goes the other way too."
