Oliver's opinion...

...on Hugo Chavez. Oliver Stone's new film "South of the Border" will be shown at the Venice film festival next Monday. The Guardian report it thus: "Oliver Stone: 'The truth about Hugo Chávez'." Now, it's in quote marks so I assume thet they are Stone's words but the article doesn't confirm that; however, either way, I disagree...it is an opnion, a view, but it isn't "the truth". At the end of the short article it says

"This is a continuing story. It is going on right now with Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. Hopefully, in our film, you'll get to hear a far different side of the "official" story."

So that much we can see is very different from saying "The truth...", whatever, I shall endeavour to see it and report back; unfortunately, knowing Stone's socialist leanings I am almost sure I won't agree with him...BUT I am not prejudging the film, I WILL watch with an open mind. The short video clip doesn't really tell us much although I like Correa's comment that he'd be more worried when they (the American media) say nice things about him! Great.
