oliver stone natural born killer be quite possibly the most controversial film ever make . no other have spark such a debate of violence in cinema and and have cause such a divide between lover and hater . many people see it a a poignant social commentary and a wickedly funny and dark outlook at a society go mad with the idea of celebrity and medium obsession . others see it a deprave celebration of sick violence and and a catalyst for what it seek to undermine . the film certainly contain scene of horrific and deplorable and violence and but i would argue that the over the top cartoon violence be do to let the audience know that the film be not mean to be take too seriously . yes and the message be serious and but we need a bit of black comedy with our satire and otherwise it just like watch a very boring fact base documentary . the violence ( and the whole film ) be completely over the top because that be what stone be tell u while we have go too far . base on a script by quentin tarantino and the film follow two young lover and mickey and mallory ( woody harrelson and julliette lewis ) a they travel across america killing because it what they want to do . hot on their heals be hot shot cop jack scagnetti ( tom sizemore ) who be not quite what you would call an honest cop . also along for the ride be sensationalist journalist wayne gale ( robert downey jr ) who host ( and produce and and directs ) the cheesy tabloid show american maniac . the first 45 minute of the film show u how mickey and mallory meet and and show u their murderous rampage across the country . like stanley kubrick a clockwork orange and the first act of the film be the most shocking part . most people who have turn off either film have do it by the end of the first act . the two film share many other thing in common while at the end of the first act our antagonistic protagonist be catch and send to prison and they both have graphic violence and be hat by politician and mother group and and both have much to say about our society and the mindset of it outcasts . nbk be very much the a clockwork orange of the 90 . whilst incarcerate mickey give an interview to wayne gale and and it be here that the film be at it most interesting . he provide a thoughtful and in depth insight into why he be what he be and do what he do and and the brilliance of the film be that it make u see his point of view . of course and this be also where the film make itself vulnerable to attack because anybody who go out and murder somebody and and happen to have a copy of the dvd and can be say to have be warp by the film pro violence message . the film be about a pro violent a american history x be pro nazi and but unfortunately far too many people be unable to watch a film with an open mind and or a view to learn something new and and so the message go over their head . spoiler if nbk have end with mickey and mallory be kill by a relative of one of their victim then i be sure everybody would applaud it profound message of evil never triumph . instead and mickey and mallory escape from prison and be last see walk into the sunset and so therefore stone must like killer because he let them live . right . end spoiler how can you talk about nbk and not mention the fabulous look of the film . shot on everything from grainy black and white 8mm to glossy super 35mm and and use in excess of 2500 edits and the film be a visual feast . stone use havertical cut to show what a character be read into a situation and rear projection to show what be influence their thought and decision and many other great technique which make nbk the most unique film i have ever see . unlike tony scott cinematic turd domino the style be not do merely for the sake of it and to look cool and it be do to place u amongst the chaos of the film . plus and it look really friggin cool . i must also mention that all of the performance be top notch . harrelson and lewis fit their role perfectly and really convey that these two people love each other . sizemore also give a solid performance and a do downey jr and who be absolutely bloody hilarious . the best of the bunch and however and have get to be tommy lee jones a the prison warden dwight mcclusky . he ooze with creepy redneck sliminess and but be also incredibly funny and charismatic . nbk be without a doubt one of the fine piece of art ever produce . for year to come it will be talk about and and i be sure it would not be long until another murder be blame on it . nbk set out to show u that we be far too obsessed with fame and celebrity and and in my opinion it do just that . the medium make celebrity out of criminal whilst people who deserve recognition go unnoticed . how many of the 9/11 victim can you name . how many doctor who have save hundred of life can you name . how many of the columbine victim can you name . can you name the killer . probably . that be what nbk be all about and and that be what it seek to discourage .
