Apart from the politics, Oliver Stone has a trashy, excessive streak and it certainly showed in the previews. It also comes out in unwatchable movies like Natural Born Killers.
So? He freely admits that he did that stuff before he saw the light and started acting like a grownup.
Quentin Tarantino’s story for Natural Born Killers was raped by Oliver Stoned.
A lot of the same techniques are used in the filmmaking of Kill Bill but it comes together far better.
NBK came across as a bad knock off of John Waters’ Pink Flamingos (and the ending seems like a direct ripoff).
