18 Things You Somehow Missed In Reservoir Dogs
16. Who Is True Blue?
Tarantino just has a knack for creating stunningly compelling opening scenes for his movies. Inglorious Basterds features arguably the greatest first scene in cinematic history, while Pulp Fiction’s conversation between Pumpkin and Honey Bunny is iconic.
The breakfast conversation shared between Joe, Eddie, and the six strangers is up there with both of them. Tarantino put himself front and centre for much of it, as his Mr. Brown tried to explain to his new teammates the true meaning behind Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’.
The talk continues onto other works from Madonna, with the group going on to ponder which one is True Blue. The song references her feelings for her then-husband, Sean Penn, but the question has a deeper meaning.
The men sit around asking which one is true blue, while in just a few hours' time they will be asking the very same question, trying to figure out which of these very same men wears the blue of the police force and is the reason the heist turns as bloody as it does.
