Center
Primary
The film's left-leaning rating stems from its anti-establishment critique of media sensationalism and societal complicity in glorifying violence, portraying these as systemic failures rather than purely individual moral ones.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative focuses on a satirical critique of media and violence, rather than explicitly addressing or critiquing traditional identities or incorporating central DEI themes.
Secondary
The film consistently portrays Christianity through the lens of hypocrisy, violence, and delusion, particularly among authority figures and the media. It critiques the perversion of religious values within a chaotic, media-saturated society, offering no significant counterbalancing positive or nuanced depictions.
Natural Born Killers does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline. The film's primary focus is on extreme violence, media critique, and the anti-heroic journey of its heterosexual protagonists, Mickey and Mallory Knox.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Natural Born Killers is an original film not based on prior source material, historical figures, or an existing franchise. All characters were created for this specific film, thus there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a previously established canon or historical record.
Natural Born Killers is an original screenplay, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a biopic. Therefore, no characters had a canonically or historically established race prior to this film's production, meaning no race swaps occurred.
