Watched at a new years party while high on acid and everyone hated it but I just spent the entire film trying not to cry at how well dressed Harrelson and Lewis were. Those fits are just unreal. They're both so hot in this.
"I've had a strong opinion about the psychopathic fringe that thrives today in America's fast food culture."
i kept thinking about what this movie would look like today given media saturation now vs. then and stuff like outrage twitter, but that's a total trap because the only way this functions is if it's thoroughly divorced from context or "timeliness". Stone's coke-and-'shrooms-fueled "Who's really in the prison?" swipe at satire is so utterly sanctimonious and trite that for at least half a second it actually threatens to become unfunny, even if the scene where Russell Means sees the word "demon" written on Harrelson's chest couldn't possibly be anything but a joke. whatever this is mad at, it's not around anymore, not…
At a glance, Natural Born Killers has the potential to mislead. What seems like a full-blooded thriller packed with gratuitous brutality is in fact more profound; more intelligent than what its exterior and hateful critics may imply. It's personality is satirical, predominantly lampooning the media for their embracement of serial killers and near veneration of the activities they conduct - all done for the sake of ratings. Oliver Stone is clearly a staunch combatant of such behaviour and as we all know, if Oliver Stone disagrees with something, it's almost guaranteed he'll make a film to argue his perspective. Some may call him his work propaganda, but you can't deny his skill and innovation.
Mickey and Mallory are not individual…
"Look, bitch, you knew I was a snake."
In one word, grating. Before I say anything beyond that, I'm going to make something clear: I wholly get what Oliver Stone and company were doing here. You can't miss what this movie is supposed to be about. It's decent messaging. Of course we glorify killers in the media. Of course humans are hypocritical with violence. The way the film is made, I also understand that this movie is likely meant to get on your nerves. Its editing and mix of visual styles gives a migraine. Hell, maybe Stone intentionally made something bad, something that makes you repulsed in a way that's meant to gear your thoughts towards greater disdain for the…
Oliver Stone's in your face crime drama designed to shock and titillate as it drives home its message with a sledgehammer regarding the glorification of violence by the media!
A film that was ahead of its time and is even MORE relevant today than it was back in 1994!
Stone obviously thought he was creating a masterpiece of satire; instead he created a truly monumental turd. So a triumph of sorts.
Two baddies get up to no good in this extremely violent thriller. Sitcom scene and prison riot were awesome.
Entrei com grandes expectativas e sai revoltada, 2 horas perdidas assistindo esse filme. Woody Harrelson e a trilha sonora são as melhores coisas do filme, Mallory é tanto faz, o personagem do Robert Downey Jr. é extremamente insuportável, na verdade a maioria dos personagens são. Um filme super entediante e repleta de cenas desnecessárias e ridículas. Eu gostaria de saber o que o diretor fumou pra fazer essa porcaria, coisa boa que não foi.
I imagine most people had the same reaction I did after watching the first half hour of Natural Born Killers. I imagine the same 6 words came out of many people's mouths. What. The. Fuck. Am. I. Watching.
This zany bloodbath of a movie was penned by none other than Quentin Tarantino and directed by Oliver Stone. The film is like a shotgun blast of weird visuals, triply editing, and over the top violence. The gimmick is fun at first. It's like being taken through a Charles Manson funhouse ride. But it frankly starts to grow thinner and thinner as the films goes on. I found that the fractured and crazy storytelling method actually became a distraction more than anything.…
A story of a psychopath murderer couple in the very crazy way. Oliver Stone's storytelling is unique (I wanted to say in a very Sin City type but this came first).
Woody Harrelson (one of my favourite actors) played Mickey and Juliette Lewis as Mallory are insane psychopath killers as crazy as Joker and Harley. Both were outstanding in their roles. Robert Downey Jr. as Wayne Gale surprised me with his acting, especially in the last scene.
Writing is very good and so is the direction, sufi score was brilliant. Very unique film.
