Movie 198/1001 ~ Natural Born Killers

Natural Born Killers is a film from 1994 starring Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, and is directed by Oliver Stone. This movie is messed up. It is really difficult to follow near the beginning and uses a lot of disorienting camera techniques and filters. The movie is intended to try and relay how the mass media perpetuates and idolizes things it should not be, such as serial killers. In the film, Lewis and Harrelson go on a killing spree at first to help Lewis escape from her abusive father, played by Rodney Dangerfield, and then to purify humanity. It is a intriguing movie that is visually appealing, but might turn off some by its possibly excessive violence. I found it interesting, but ultimately too disorienting.
