Savages(2012)
Synopsis:
A University of California graduate and a US navy officer became top marijuana growers. They were running their business successfully. They also shared a girlfriend which was also going well. One day met another woman who wanted to start a business with them. But she was refused. Then the woman kidnapped their girlfreind. The duo started to rescue their girlfreind with another guy.
Production:
By August 2011, the film was shooting in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. The sex scenes were filmed during the first three days. The film entered post-production in October 2011.
Casting:
Jennifer Lawrence was originally cast as O, but dropped out to film The Hunger Games instead. Other actresses considered for the part included Olivia Wilde, Blake Lively, Teresa Palmer and Abbie Cornish. In April 2011, it was reported that Lively had joined the film. Before casting Taylor Kitsch in the film, Oliver Stone asked Peter Berg to show him 30 minutes of Kitsch's work in Battleship to see how he was as a leading man, and after seeing that footage, he cast him. Trevor Donovan originally auditioned for a role that was cut but after seeing Donovan's tape, Stone specifically wrote him a part that was not in the book. Uma Thurman played O's mother, Paqu, but her scenes were cut due to time
constraints.
Reception:
Savages has received mixed reviews from critics, as it currently holds a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 105 reviews. Scott Foundas of Film Comment wrote: "I’m not sure that Oliver Stone has ever made so purely exuberant a movie as his new Savages, an unabashedly lurid sun-and-surf ménage-à-trois cum drug-running caper, with touches of Jacobean tragedy for good measure". Foundas interviewed the director in the July/August 2012 issue of the magazine.
According to InSight Crime, the publicity circuit used to promote the movie "are not only false, but promote a dangerously misleading view of the country's criminal groups." To justify his claim, Oliver Stone, the movie director, provided a series of unfolded and false assertions to justify his opposition to the War on Drugs, fueling a "dystopian narrative of Mexico" and feeding on the belief that the Mexican criminals are "invincible supermen."
