Ahead of a 25th anniversary screening, filmmaker Oliver Stone and actress Juliette Lewis look back on their controversial tale of murder, mayhem and the media.
essentially attempting to treat the movie as a faulty product, claiming that Stone and Warner Bros. were responsible for a young couple’s multi-state crime spree, dragged on in the courts for years before eventually being dismissed.
I think from about ’92, ’93, ’94, it started to get really heavy and it never stopped. And I thought, “This is not a good thing that’s happening, but this is happening.” And it hasn’t stopped. I see too much of that mentality around now. Television for example, commercials have adopted the mentality of “Natural Born Killers”: shock, shock, shock. One after the other. You can’t surprise the audience. There’s no sense of formality or slowing down or keeping an atmosphere.
That’s the whole point of it. There’s violence in our system, there’s bloodshed in our bloodstream and it’s not expected to come home in America.If I’m being honest, as an actor I developed and got to play and do all these improvised things and had my ideas encouraged. But the outcome, I didn’t know what to think about the movie actually. The animosity that I was faced with, particularly being a female, the wild one, the sociopath as a female, I think that messes with people.
