Spoiler Alert: This feature discusses specific elements of the film, including the ending.
It's not every day you get to sit down to dinner with filmmaking legends Oliver Stone and Benicio del Toro. Anticipation was high when a group of journalists were invited to do just that in support of this week's Blu-ray release of Savages. The dinner took place on the eve of the presidential election, and topics swung wildly from hi-def transfers to classic films to politics to the current state of the drug war.
There was a good deal of warm banter between the director and actor throughout the night, as well as a few good-natured barbs. There was a tremendous sense of mutual respect and admiration, and Stone stated, "Benicio gave me the most intellectual feedback during the script." Del Toro would frequently call Stone on the weekend to talk about his complexly villainous character, the violent cartel thug Lado.
