Artful fiction that badly distorts the facts

Rating: 1/10 (20 September 2008)

A film for the gullible and ignorant who are stupid enough to buy into Oliver Stone's pack of lies. Stone contrived this load of misinformation and manure mostly just to make himself rich. It serves no legitimate purpose.
The film is Oliver's twisting of facts and pure fabrication.
Garrison never made the closing argument speech that Kevin Costner delivered in the JFK film. NEVER MADE SUCH A SPEECH yet it's the climax of the film.
That is just one of the many glaring things in this film that are kluged. The HISTORY CHANNEL did a thorough job of debunking it.
In JFK, Oliver Stone takes history and fictionalizes it to make it a more dramatic, commercial piece that he passes off as re-enacting history. In fact, much of Stone's "JFK" movie is a lie, it never happened as Stone depicted it.
Oliver Stone has admitted using "artistic license" in creating the film but his depiction goes way beyond that. It's all so convincingly portrayed that many people have taken it as fact. It's not unlike the Jon Stewart Daily Show treatment of the news or Michael Moore's distortions in his "documentaries".
If Stone's upcoming movie "W" is anything like his previous work - it will be nothing more than a new collection of Stone's lies and distortions - simply not to be believed. Nevertheless, a lazy and ignorant populace will soak it up as fact and make Oliver Stone a lot more money.
