No. too many visuals. The director was being too artsy IMO

I think it's a great film, severely underrated.

Oliver Stone's great sometimes but shit other times. JFK and
Any Given Sunday are shite, whereas Platoon and Natural Born
Killers are masterpieces.

It had Cameron Diaz being a hardass, which was kinda sexy
;)

I think JFK is great, especially for the performances of
Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman and Kevin Bacon.

NBK is quite the film. had it been any less "artsy" it
would have been a different film, a lesser film, imo.

NBK is a great movie...
a masterpiece in so many ways.

What about U Turn? Mmmm, pre-botoxed J Lo topless.. It's
funny how this movie is never mentioned on Behind the Music
or other programs on her rise to fame.

I think its just boring. in its visuals and in its subject
matter.

I think natural born killers was a really good movie.
It’s one of the rare cases where a director used a lot
of visual effects and they actually complimented the
storyline. I didn’t like how stone used the effects
in U-Turn. Crap. I couldn’t see any reason why he
was doing it, and it was distracting. But, in NBK he was
showing the surreal nature of the story. It was an
exaggeration of how the media is sensationalist. Almost all
aspects of that flick were over exaggerated to the point of
being ridiculous.

It’s crazy how many people missed the point of the
movie and bashed NBK for it’s graphical nature. If
anything that was exactly the point stone was trying to
make. Many critics were just too short sighted to look
deeper.

At least that’s what I got out of it.

JFK was a good entertainment piece, but I think he took a
few creative leaps in the plot that made it a bit misleading
and hurt the movie's overall possition as a provacative
peice of film. that being said I liked it.

The effects just let you enter mickey and mallory's state of
mind, while they are tripping and stuff.

Strange... I talked about NBK today with some colleagues

"It was an exaggeration of how the media is
sensationalist."


yes I did get that.

I guess I think its the most obvious way to make your point
- this combined with the feeling that that premisse isn't
very interesting, did not make a good impression on me.

the effects do a lot more than that though.

mallory's home life plays out like a sit-com, which i at
least took to be a pretty accurate play on society's
preoccupation with television pseudo reality.

I like the Leonard Cohen songs on the soundtrack.

yeah true.

And it goes on and on and on.
Types like jack scagnetti and that TV-show-host are also in
the same line.

this film came up on my psychology class, while talking
about how the media can affect our behaviour... focusing on
violence.

i really like this movie and i like oliver stone's take on
the story. i don't think he overdid it visually at all; it
played right into the story. great cast, great everything.

Stone wanted GYBE! on Any Given Sunday. I was reading
something they had said about it...He wanted that part of
Moya, you know, the climax in the song, during some part
where they threw a football...GYBE! said it was
ridiculous...Now I never want to see that movie, especially
so I don't have to see what they substituted for GYBE!'s
Moya.

I liked NBK, I don't think it was fantastic, but good.
Tarantino said stone changed the script so much that he only
wanted credit for the idea--wonder what his version was
like.
