Whatever Oliver Stone’s opinion is, what it isn’t is naturally NOT GOOD FOR THE USA.
The man hates us and USA.
“The man hates us and USA.”
Which is why I boycotted his films. I’m willing to see films with a political outlook different than my own, but I won’t give money to outright USA haters like him.
Then I broke my own boycott when Alexander came out because the subject matter was so enticing, but the movie just sucked!
“The man hates us and USA.”
I suppose it’s possible that’s true. I’ve always had the opinion of him that he’s a conspiracy theorist, and an anti-establishment guy who leans too far to the left. I certainly don’t like some of his views, especially sometimes the way he changes history in his biopics like Born on the 4th of July.
I know that he never believes what the official media/government explanation is for any big event, and I don’t know if that stems from his Vietnam experience or what. Sometimes that can work in his favor and he can come off sensible (Snowden), and other times it works against him and he can really enrage our side too, for instance romanticizing Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
It does really bother me how much affection he has for Central American and South American communists.
