A classic, Juliette Lewis is briliant as Malory.
I cant believe the reviews Ive read on this film! Natural Born Killers is a brilliant postmodern assaults on postmoderism itsself.
The camera angles and changes in medium are there for that very reason. Its a violent yet artistic attack on the senses. The narrative isnt supposed to be believable, its a hightened super reallity where the media is god and nothing is real.
This is also reflected outside the narrative by cutting disturbing scenes with the 'polarbear coco cola' advert. Its telling us a lot more about ourselves and how we view violence in the media than you might first realise.
Open your eyes and watch it again, if not then stick to the hollywood melodramas.
Please read the one star as nought
Oh how the Daily Mail drubbed this film, declaring it unfit to be shown publicly cos of the content. Just made me want to see it. Wish I'd taken more notice.
Woody from Cheers and Juliette Lewis, (Cape fear) team up and become tearaways, they're really fierce and violent and swear lots. Everything appears brighter and larger than life and as if Oliver Stone wishes to emulate Quentin Tarantino. Apparently QT had a hand in writing some of the script but was so unhappy with the way it took shape had his credit removed. Who can blame him?
Don't bother with this, if you've already made the mistake of seeing it, rent Pulp Fiction and imagine how this COULD have looked.
