Screenwriting- "Can Films Make A Difference"

"Writing Consciousness-Raising Stories" - Catherine Ann Jones
Student Filmmakers July 2008

In 1994 Quentin Tarantino's film Natural Born Killers, a satirical crime film, the main couple murders about 50 people "for the great sex after". The week it opened, a couple in the Midwest recreated the film's premise. When they were arrested, they gave the names of the characters. This shows the dark side of film, but there is also the story that provides a carthatic release for the viewer. The trick is to finding the balance in it I believe.
