Brent Bozell - "Stone has delivered a masterpiece"

Whoda thunk it? Brent Bozell singing the praises of Oliver Stone? How could that be? The same Oliver Stone who less than a month after 9/11 said;

"the revolt of September 11th was about 'F--- you! F--- your order' ".

Did I hear Bozell right? Apparently I did. He called Oliver Stone's latest movie, "World Trade Center" a "masterpiece".

I wasn't skeptical when I was invited to a private screening of Oliver Stone's upcoming "World Trade Center" movie. I was downright cynical. As a conservative I've long considered so much of his work the bane of my existence. From "Platoon" to "Salvador" to "Born on the Fourth of July" to "JFK," and let's not forget last year's ghastly "Alexander," Stone has delivered one left-wing screed after another, specifically intended, I'm convinced, to bring my blood to the boiling point. When I learned a few months ago that he was working on a project about 9/11, I fully expected another tiresome, loathsome Bush-lied-thousands-died production designed to titillate the Michael Moore left-wing fringe. It is why, when the movie was ready for screening and my friend told me I was going to like it, I thought he was mad. But as a personal favor, I went. And by the time I digested that triumphant line, "You kept me alive!" I was ready to put everything I'd previously felt aside.

Let me be unequivocal. Stone has delivered a masterpiece

And he wasn't alone. Not even close. Cal Thomas called it "a world class movie."

I have a long list of favorite patriotic movies, including "Victory at Sea," "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Sands of Iwo Jima," but Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" is right up there with the best of them. It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-faith, pro-male, flag-waving, God Bless America films you will ever see.

What? Oliver Stone, who hangs out with and praises Fidel Castro? Oliver Stone, who indulges in conspiracy theories and is a dues-paying member of the Hollywood left? Yes, THAT Oliver Stone.

Cliff May, posting at NRO's blog 'The Corner' said;

It should be required viewing for every American.

John J. Miller, also posting at 'The Corner', lavished praises on Stone's movie;

When the movie ended, the theater was incredibly quiet; I think a lot of people will be affected by this film the way Cliff and Cal Thomas have been.

World Trade Center deserves a big box office. The release is August 9. Go see it.

I may have to go see this one in the theatre.
