A little tribute to the truck driver (written in 2005.07)

When I watched that "Titanic" 8 years ago, I didn't think there was anything special about the truck driver named James Cameron. Back then, I was also a young literary man. I had read several broken books and had a little research on stories. Based on this research, I think the Titanic story is pretty bad!
When I watched Terminator 2 & 3 2 years ago, I had a little respect for the truck driver, and I thought the big-bodied guy's imagination was okay.
After watching True Lies, I no longer dare to despise this romantic truck driver. True Lies' concept, plot, and sense of humour are excellent. The narration of the film not only retains the delicacy and ingenuity of classic Hollywood, but also removes its literary accent, and the scale can be said to be very appropriate.
Impressively, I think the film is better than Terminator 2 & 3 and Titanic.

True Lies quotes

  • Simon: [leaning on Simon's corvette, having lunch] Okay, just ask yourself: What do women really want? You take these bored housewives, married to the same guy for years, they're stuck in a rut, then need some release! Promise of adventure, a hint of danger. I create that for them.

    Harry: So basically, your lying your ass off the whole time. See, I can't do that.

    Simon: What are you, a boy scout? No, no, no, think of it as playing a role as fantasy. I mean, you got to work on their dreams. Get them out of their daily surburban grind for a few hours.

    Harry: But what about their husbands?

    Simon: Dickless! I mean, let's face it, if they took care of business, I'd be out of business! You know what I mean?

    [laughs]

    Harry: [fake laughs] Those idiots!

  • [Harry returns to the van after escaping the castle]

    Harry: Hi guys.

    Gib: Well that worked real good. Right out the old front gate.

    Harry: Can you lean back a second...

    [Harry shoots two remaining pursuers]
