Natural Born Killers (1996)
There is a series out now called "Dexter'. The whole idea behind Dexter is that he is a true 'Natural Born Killer'. He was involved in a bloody gory event as a small child and developed a "Dark Passenger" that needed to kill to satisfy his blood thirst. Unlike Mikey and Mallory- Dexter was trained to only kill people who deserved do die i.e other killers, rapers, societal drains. Dexter is doing his civic duty, Mickey and Mallory are taking everything they can out of anyone they can.
There is one specific scene of which is most memorable to me. This is the scene where Mickey is being interviewed. He says that he is a killer not because he is a rotten societal reject, but because he is being true to himself. I thing that the reason this film caused so many copy cat crimes is because people are always looking for reasons do rediscover themselves. Unlike Dexter doing a civic duty, people are more inclined to be a self serving individual.
The total chaos happening on and off script seemed not to embellish the plot but take away. A true acid trip of space junk.
