Review of Natural Born Killers (1994) by Baurushan J — 22 Feb 2013

First let me give the history of this movie. It was director Quentin Tarantino who had originally wanted to direct and write this film but as he only wrote the script, he passed it onto director Oliver Stone who heavily revised the script and went off to direct the film.

Tarantino blessed Stone good luck and the movie was made. Since this movie was made, many have accused this film because it has inspired many young adults to go on shooting sprees because they wanted to become like the two leads in this film which I'll get to later, now we will discuss the story.

The story involves around a traumatized couple named Mickey and Mallory played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis who after an abused past (yeah it's another child abuse story, just go with it) stuck together until adults and are now lovers and have become No.

1 psychopathic killers in America. Caught and put in jail, after a year, they meet Wayne Gale played by Robert Downey Jr. who interviews them for his show, American Maniacs. So even though the couple are captured, they use the show's advantage to break out and become free.

Now this movie got very mixed reviews. The people who hated it because of the copycat crimes I just mentioned or just gave an excuse calling it a bloody mess. Others defended it gave clear meanings about the mass murder and the mass media e.

G Roger Ebert mentioned that this film must be watched twice; once for the visual experience and twice for the meaning. This clearly shows that this film ain't no Christopher Nolan shit where it's over three hours of exposition.

This film is 100% complex in both ways: visually and spoken which brings me to my opinion. I am able to understand this film just by watching this only one and not twice because I can relate myself to Mickey and Mallory because I am that type of person in real life.

I am a traumatized child; Ok not a child but I know what life is like being one of them because I am one of them for fuck's sake! Didn't you see all those young adults who went on a killing spree just because of this movie inspired them? Yeah, that's because they were able to relate to the characters as they've been abused as children in the past.

I can either A. Make vengeance and go on a killing spree just like Natural Born Killers, B. Create suicide attempt because no one gives a fuck about me nor do they listen to me, C. Keep listening to the world's bullshit and see if still I have faith in God one last time or D.

Show the fucking world this movie and that this is what happens if your children are treated like prisoners, they will really become prisoners! My options are still open and by the time I'm old enough to choose one, then I will choose one.

There is no point in calling this film a bloody mess because that just shows that you're a dumb fucking retard who cannot look in depth into the mass media especially if you work in the media industry.

I've never done a review this long in a long time, probably because I've done a lot of research on this movie before reviewing it and to finish this review off, Natural Born Killers gets a 9.5/10.
