| Synopsis |
Compares and contrasts 'Natural Born Killers' and 'Forrest Gump, both released in 1994 concluding they are both morally bankrupt visions. The evil in 'Natural Born Killers' (i.e. Woody Harrelson) is collected, elaborated and sexualized and also irresitibly attractive in comparison to the impossible and stupid purity of the 'good' in the Jesus-like Gump.
While Gump enshrines a moronic god; Natural Born Killers adores a beserk one and however distinct the films appear, they are philosophically and morally identical. |
