[lbo-talk] Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center: 'a crude and dishonest work'

Another fine film review by David Walsh:

A snippet:

[...]

Stone's work is thoroughly conformist and encourages various forms of
backwardness. One shot stands out in particular: one of Allison's
in-laws on her knees, tearfully praying. The camera lingers on the
woman, in Stone's inimitable style, which consists of hitting the
spectator over the head until he or she cries "Uncle!" We are also
treated twice to a vision of Jesus Christ, which apparently came to
Jimeno in his obviously desperate circumstances.
