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…
robert downey jr. doesn't just chew the scenery in this, he swallows that shit whole like a snake and digests it with his stomach acids. oliver stone just let that boy off the leash and had him devour the back half of this film, it's fucking awesome
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…
Two baddies get up to no good in this extremely violent thriller. Sitcom scene and prison riot were especially awesome.
A coked out madhouse, all edited within an inch of it’s life. Jesus Christ how did this fucking thing get made.
this is the most chaotic film I've ever seen and I loved every second of it. Juliette Lewis is absolutely brilliant
