Savages

I will say that I did like the movie very much. Nothing better a fucked up love story! Oliver Stone creates all these controversial films, that just boggle the mind sometimes, but being that this was based on a book, I see why he chose this as a film. It’s just as mind boggling as the rest of them! From the top, I just want to say that I would pass through the participation of the T. Kitsch, B. Lively, and A. Taylor-Johnson in this film Skip all the way to, one of my favorites, Benicio Del Toro, as well as Salam Hayek. In my imagination, I think Del Toro, plays a great representation of what the second lieutenant of a warlord might be in real life. Heck he even looks like he belongs with the cartels form the acting portrayed in this movie. He’s the one you root for in the end. Hayek on the other hand represents the bad ass, no mercy on anything type of chick! Now, movie forward, and it’s probably what everyone wants to know, the butt groping Travolta… what can I say… It was like watching him in Face/Off again; that witty I don’t play that shit attitude suits him! 

All in all, I would recommend this movie. It’s essentially great especially if you in with no pre-judgments of the film. The movie has a very “California feel” to it; sunshine, brightness, waves, surfers, beaches, blondes, houses by the ocean, etc.  

Now… the other thing that I did want to get into was the title of the movie, although you don’t get to see the actual footage, which is good, decapitating with a chainsaw, whip-lashing. And not to give too much away, all the characters represent a “savage” in their own way, by the things they do. By the reactions they have, having sex like savages. Del Toro, savage for the way he kills, like a straight predator. You can associate the usage of drugs like a savage for the one who relapses and the need for it, and because you would do anything for that one person; including acting like a savage to get them back.

Recommend: If you’re in the mood.
