Amor à Queima Roupa (True Romance - 1993) 2/4

Clarence's father, Clifford Worley (Dennis Hopper), is paid an unwelcome visit by Vincent Coccotti (Christopher Walken), consigliere to a Mafia boss named "Blue" Lou Boyle. Coccotti questions Worley as to the whereabouts of Clarence and the missing narcotics. Clifford realizes during the interrogation that he will be tortured until he gives the information. Apparently to deliberately provoke and enrage Coccotti, ensure a quick death, and protect his son, Worley brings up Sicilians' background. Worley is quoting history on the claim of Sicilian people having Black people's ancestry through the Moors or, as Hopper puts it in the movie: "Sicilians were spawned by niggers." This speech is the precursor to Worley's death.
This scene has been nominated by Tarantino himself (on the True Romance Unrated Director's Cut DVD commentary) as one of his proudest moments. "I had heard that whole speech about the Sicilians a long time ago, from a black guy living in my house. One day I was talking with a friend who was Sicilian and I just started telling that speech. And I thought: Wow, that is a great scene, I gotta remember that.

It was supposed that like in Somalia, Italian men went into that country and got many black women pregnant during the so-called Italo-Somalian war in the 19th century, and at one time prior to that, several centuries earlier, native Italian men in Sicily had slaves, mostly black women from Africa, had got them pregnant and therefore, a similar occurance which happened several centuries before the Somalian war, which may explain the theory that's been circulating about.
