What critics compared Heaven & Earth to
In the past 36 years he’s made a criminally underrated horror flick (The Hand), a trilogy of increasingly thoughtful Vietnam war movies (Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Heaven & Earth), a “musical” (The Doors), historical epics (Alexander, Nixon), a sports film (Any Given Sunday), a love story (World Trade Center), business pictures (the two Wall Street movies), and a trilogy comprised of the some audacious and darkly funny crime movies (Natural Born Killers, U-Turn, Savages).
And that’s a problem for this filmmaker, somewhat more comfortable with ‘Nam (Platoon, Born On The Fourth Of July, Heaven & Earth), rock and roll (The Doors), the Kennedy assassination (JFK), serial killers (Natural Born Killers), 9/11 (World Trade Center) and drug-related chainsaw murders (Savages).
