You are being lied to

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2002)

This film is a lie. It is despicable propaganda. Stone distorts most of the facts and gets many of them plain wrong. It is revisionist history at its worst. If you are watching this film for a history lesson you are a sucker. However, if you are watching this film as a piece of fiction, you will be enthralled for three hours. This is a stunning piece of film making - probably Stone's best work ever. Allow yourself to be swept away by the power of Stone's vision, but remind yourself that it is just a film - and not a documentary.
