I think Oliver Stone didnt care at all!
The Marine Sgt came forward ... he said he understood why the Sgt in the movie was white ... nobody had really known who the Sgt was (it wasn't widely disseminated), and by the time he came forward ... the movie was already in production and it was too late to change the white Marine Sgt to a black one.

Basically what he said was not to sweat the small stuff ... he wasn't going to.

Ask a Marine what color another Marine is and the answer will be "Marine."

I'm not keen to see it when it comes out here. It's too soon.
For Australians it doesn't have the same patriotic influence as it'll have for you Americans. It's like a Frenchman watching Breaker Morant.... it doesn't have the same impact for him

Post; ......


Im not agaist what the movie is trying to say ,but after seeing Flight 93,and the other movie that was about flight 93 that came out a few months later, has peolpe thinking that it all started on that clear September moring.

But the thing is, there should be a movie that explains that militant Islam has been a American problem for far more that of the Years Flollowing 9/11.

The people that Have Called the International Jihad agaist all Infedels of the word of Allah, have been around a lot longer, and doing the things they do behind our backs, and even taken militant leaders,and battles to the Streets of New York, but, the United States, more concerned with the Soveits, ignored the threat of Militant Islam in its infancy,when things could have been stopped a lot easier.

That would be a blockbuster,

It wouldn't be a blockbuster ... it would just be a 'maudlin' recap of the failures to nip Jihadism in the bud. It could have been accomplished by a hand full of bullets, and the cajones to use them to wipe out the first crazies to begin talking this extremist version of the Qaran (Koran), and the Muslim religion.

There is no blockbuster contained in that story.
