Natural Born Killers (1994)

Oliver Stone's film about celebrity, violence, and the celebration of violence. Natural Born Killers is highly stylized, highly violent, and highly unpleasant. Maybe it would have been different seeing this in 1994 when stories and films of this sort weren't so commonly done, but seeing it now I found that the movie did not enrich as entertainment, nor did it creatively convey to me anything new, or repackage anything in a way that felt worth while. I'm not saying that Stone is wrong in a lot of what he has to say in this film, in some ways it feels precinct, but I didn't enjoy watching it, I didn't get anything from it, and I didn't like any of the characters in it with possible exception of the Indians. *
