15. Natural Born Killers (1994)

To say that you must watch this movie on mushrooms or entirely stoned is probably too much... the movie is a trip in itself :: a big circus with its weirdo angles and color filters... i won't even dare to use the term "special effects" because they are basic, crude, and poorly done. nonetheless, they're wonderful.

But [being fucked up] does make it a lot better --
You can feel ( and of course, envy) their demented killing spree and you don't even feel bad about loving it... if you're stoned.

Played by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis are Mickey and Mallory Knox :: infamous, rebellious, sick, sexy, disgusting. heartless, but with a dangerously passionate love for one another -- and that is all that matters.

If, in real life, anyone fucked the police as hard as Mickey and Mallory Knox I'd be a total fan, no matter how many innocent bystanders they massacred.

Both of them are very potent characters, strong headed and totally insane. Mallory not so much in the beginning but that's part of her charm. it's... the classic idea of the boyfriend lover sweeping the young girl off of her feet and away from the domestic imprisonment of her fathers home. but way more hardcore. we get to tap into the seemingly endless acceleration that is the thrill of being on the run, in love, and fucked up. where is the end to this ride? route 666 stops somewhere...right?

After falling in love with their destruction you forget about every moral and value you might have clung to at any point in your life and all you want is for these lost yet determined souls to overcome every force which attempts to keep their freedom and love away from them. it's a beautifully demented story. a twisted journey. and most of all, a good time.

Btw :: included for only $3/mo. are Rodney Dangerfield, Edie McClurg, Robert Downey Jr., Tommy Lee Jones... if that doesn't get you I don't know what will.

  3. true but it's a great satire of violence, media obsession.. a realization of the ridiculousness.
