Oliver Stone’s Remarks

I cringed when I read director Oliver Stone’s heartless retort to victims of communist repression: “When are you going to find the love in your heart to forgive and move on?” (“Vietnamese-U.S. Film Symposium Stirs Passions,” by Daniel Cerone, April 29).

I’m glad Stone wasn’t making films in the 1940s. Would he have met with Goebbels at a “Nazi-U.S. film symposium” and told victims of the Nazi genocide, “You’re not the only people in the world that have experienced suffering”?

While film makers sent by communist regimes propagandize freely here, their own people live hellish lives. Apparently, their situations are not worthy of trendy Hollywood film making.
