-a native american shows up at least once or in a cutaway shot.
-the story isnt anything too out of the ordinary, yet you are still creeped out or left with an eerie feeling
-there is at least one use of timelapse, black and white, cutaway shots, double exposure, or a wide angle lens
-the film was done in more mediums than you have fingers.
-there is music in parts that never have music in other movies
-there is at least one reference to a religion other than chrisitianity
-you feel sick
-you feel politically or socially motivated
-you feel generally uneasy about war
-you look at the dramatic side of human behavior, and dont nessicarily pay attention to detail
-you wonder how much better the movie would be if you experimented with different substances before you watched it.
-you feel the sudden need to post something about it on imdb.
this was just a joke. oliver stone is one of my favorite directors, i just wanted to poke a little fun at what i noticed and see if anyone else either agreed or had anything to add.
