    There's an old joke of a guy who has a flat tire by a psychiatric hospital. He takes the lug nuts off, puts them in the hubcap as the inmates of the asylum are out for there exercise, and one of them stops and watches this guy through the fence as he changes his tire. The motorist inadvertently knocks the hubcap over and the lug nuts roll off into the weeds, and the motorist wonders aloud what he is going to do. The guy behind the fence says you could take one lug nut off the other wheels and go with four on each wheel, then pick up some more lug nuts when you see an auto parts store. The motorist says that's pretty smart for someone in a psychiatric hospital. The guy in the hospital says I'm crazy, not stupid.

As he starts to walk away from the car, someone calls to him through a window of the hospital. The person says, "Hey mister! You should turn your wheels into the curb so your car doesn't start rolling downhill!" The man says, "Hey thanks! You're pretty smart for someone in a mental hospital." The person says back,, "I may be crazy but I'm not stupid!" 😂

      Was thinking same thing, friend. But didn't necessarily wanna just complain out of envy for those who like this flick.😅 But, at 53 yro, like with beloved Silence Of The Lambs, I couldn't get the full effect as I saw Jodie Foster & Anthony Hopkins getting huge payday to star in movie instead of their characters. I also knew Woody from Cheers & this was when Robert Downey Jr was still struggling to re-enter earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box in an alley in Burbank!😅 If get reference, most dont know that line is autobiographical!😅 He was always the little obnoxious character actor he played in "Weird Science" before making a comeback & blowing my/our minds he actually had talent in excellent bio flick "Chaplin". He was still a joke & drowning in drugs when he popped up here. That, & as you insinuated, with the over the top sensationalism I didn't care for it in the theater.

    Natural Born Killers was originally part of Quentin Tarantino's True Romance screenplay. In the original True Romance script, Natural Born Killers was a screenplay that Clarence Worley was writing while he was working at the comic book store in Detroit in the hopes of one day becoming a Hollywood screenwriter, and Mickey and Mallory Knox were his fantasy versions of himself and Alabama. As the story progressed, the audience would occasionally disappear into Clarence's imagination and the world of Mickey and Mallory, and whatever situation Clarence and Alabama were going through would be mirrored by Mickey and Mallory's adventures, only exaggerated. Tarantino decided to remove the Natural Born Killers subplot from True Romance, thinking that the parallel storylines would make the movie too confusing for audiences.

    This movie was really subversive on release. It got a lot of negative criticism from the media for what they saw as glorifying, and glamorizing the s*x and violence, but completely missing the satirical point about how the media themselves hypocritically boosts these kinds of figures into celebrities, and actually profits from such coverage. I was impressed by your insight at the end of this video about how much more desensitized you are to the reality of the news vs the fantasy of this film.

      @@joelwillems4081 fair enough if you didn't appreciate the satire. Unfortunately logic goes out the window when blaming film, books, TV, music, for crimes like these. If it was truly the work of the film then it would mean everyone who watched it would be in prison for the same. Mark David Chapman blamed Catcher in the Rye, but millions of people read it without wanting to shoot John Lennon. Sounds like he was capable of doing it anyway, and the film seemed like a good excuse at the time.

      and because of this...sociopaths can be cured (even though it almost never happens) but psychopaths cannot.
      You can become a sociopath through psychological trauma...either 1 big one, or a lot or smaller ones. Or through a brain injury that injures a certain part of the brain. If the sociopath can have that part of the brain heal properly ... or if they can heal from their psychological trauma, they can become healed and are no longer sociopaths. But again, this very very rarely happens.
      Psychopaths on the other hand are born that way. Their brains developed differently. Because of this there is nothing to "heal".

  • @jasonrd316

    I agree with you. When I first watched this movie, I really didn't like it, for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. Years later, I watched it again and felt a lot differently about it and was asking myself why I didn't like it originally because I love it now lol.
    The editing style is nuts and that's why you feel high. It's meant to feel like a fever dream, and Oliver Stone had the editors go nuts with the cuts and effects. I think that makes the movie great, and unique, but they could have also rolled it back a bit.
    Btw, they actually WERE high in that scene where they were in the car eating mushrooms. Those are real mushrooms, they were taking them, and that's a real cop that showed up and followed them down the road for a while, so the fear there was real, even though they were staying in character!
    And you're right, it is a reflection of real life. The story feels both hyper unrealistic and also like if you saw it on the news you wouldn't even be surprised. I have to say I do love it and it is definitely a classic. Thanks for reacting to it.

    Okay, so here's the whole story.
    Once upon a time (in the '90s), there was this young aspiring writer-director named Quentin Tarantino. He was pitching scripts and story ideas around Hollywood (as a young and hungry up-and-comer will). He sold the original story draft of "Natural Born Killers." Then he started to blow up with "Reservoir Dogs," and--- he got less hungry. He decided he wanted "Natural Born Killers" back. Oliver Stone--- and his lawyers--- refused to give takebacks.
    The end. (They can't all have happy endings. :D)
    For the true Hollywood story of how this film was made (SHROOM SESSIONS and all), there is producer Jane Hamsher's "Killer Instinct," but that's another story... :D

    The movie, as intended by Oliver Stone, was meant to be a exposure and criticism of media culture. How sensationalist and exploitative media had become of tragic and violent events by the mid 90s. Stone used the characters of Mickey and Mallory, and their brutal and heinous killing spree, to demonstrate how outlandish media depictions could elevate both of them to public national heroes. There is a lot more to say about the film, but that is it in a nutshell.

    Much like how True Romance felt more like a Tony Scott movie, Natural Born Killers, feels more like an Oliver Stone movie. Even though the scripts were written by Quentin Tarantino, the directors of these movies made them their own.

    The soundtrack to Natural Born Killers was produced by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.
    It features tracks from the likes of Leonard Cohen, Patsy Cline, L7, Bob Dylan, & Nine Inch Nails to name but a few.
    The film also features "Bombtrack" and "Take the Power Back" by Rage Against the Machine, "Cyclops" by Marilyn Manson & “Ghost Town” by The Specials.
    It’s one of the best soundtracks from the 1990s; along with The Crow, Judgement Night & The Lost Highway (which was also produced by Trent Reznor).

    Oliver Stone doesn't want the viewer to immerse themselves in a movie reality - rather, he constantly shows us through the use of different film formats that everything is just an image. Everything is media. Nothing seems real...yet the media creates heroes and it doesn't matter to them whether they are good or evil. Stone was ahead of his time with his media satire - but not for long! Natural Born Killers is commonplace today and even worse...

Oliver Stone has 2 famous and award-winning movies like PLATOON and JFK.

    The funny thing is that this is an ultraviolent postmodern satire designed as a Roger Corman outlaw movie...but filmed like the psychotronic Grindhouse movies of the late 1960s. So it's a total batshit mess of a movie that succeeds by being as insane as the characters in it. But all anybody could do in the 90s was obsess about the violence in it...which is so ridiculously over-the-top as to be unbelievable. I've never really liked the movie, but I really like the way it's shot and edited.
    There's no way to overstate just how many people in the 90s and early '00s related to Mickey & Mallory and saw them as romantic icons. A LOT of people from really bad families and drug issues was the common thread.
    Gregg Araki directed The Teen Apocalypse Trilogy from 1991-1996 that used a similar style to this. The one everyone remembers is the 2nd film called THE DOOM GENERATION and it often gets confused with NBK. The final installment NOWHERE has been out-of-print for decades because of music licensing issues but is also weird and cool in its own way.

    Think of the title as being in quotes. The movie was actually making the same point that you were making, in showing how their parents abuse and neglect made them who they are. But not just their parents, a culture that celebrates violence and is obsessed with gore. The same audience, ironically, watching movies like this. Which is why RDJ have to go out the way he did, at the end. He wasn't their friend and he certainly wasn't trying to help them. And they knew it. He's the monster that made the monster. It's most definitely not just a movie about a couple on a spree. It's a dark, insightful, absurd comedy.
    I didn't care for the movie too much, on my first watch, but I've come to think of it as both one of the best Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarrantino movies ever made. Certainly one of the best non-original sountracks, as well, put together by Trent Reznor.
