Because you've seen it a zillion times doesn't make it overrated.
Just because she said it was both overrated and that she's seen it zillions of times doesn't mean she was implying it was overrated because of the latter.

I just think the directing is all over the place, the storyline isn't clear enough, you don't really know what Kubrick really wants ( did he ), the actors aren't particularly good, and if what made if cult is the violence, not my cup of tea.
Plus, it isn't representative of the era at all.
I do think Kubrick should have gone more into the medical side of prisons, trying to cure criminals, but it was full of "eluKubrickations" instead.

He used wallpapers, clothes, whatever you name it of the time he made the film, there are connotations of the time politics too, even the main character's family is into their time, yet, all of it is illogical.
As always when Kubrick tried to bring in politics or morals.

Eh, I liked it and everything, but I do agree it's very over rated. I do have to be drunk to stay intrested all the way through.

biggest piece of horseshit I ever saw....
well not the biggest but it's up there. It's a shit movie and I swear it's appeal is based on cult status. It's "cool" to like it. In some way I think alot(not all) of people who like it, feel it gives them some type of indie cred or something. My buddy used to love it so much when we were in highschool and yet the other day he tells me he thinks it sucks now. gee that's funny I've been saying that for years
. Anyways this is just my opinion of course but I think it blows donkey ass.

Ugh, yeah, it's an Oliver Stone movie. I meant Full Metal Jacket (Im kinda fucked
)
Natural Born Killers was directed by Oliver Stone, but it is a Quentin Tarantino orginal story. Quentin did not endorse the movie because Oliver Stone massacred his script.
