'Natural Born Killers' glamorizes violence instead of fighting it
In "Year of the Dragon," which Oliver Stone wrote, Mickey Rourke utters this classic piece of dialogue: "I give a shit and I'm going to make you give a shit." This is what Oliver Stone is about. He makes movies that make people care. In Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July, he made us feel concerned about Vietnam. In JFK, he made us look at the death of our philandering, commie-hating 35th President. And in "Natural Born Killers," his newest film, he confronts us with the media exploitation of violence.
