Oliver Stone va prendre très cher...
Back in August we told you that director Oliver Stone was working on a ten-part documentary series for Showtime titled "Secret History of America," which will include President Harry Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, and the origins of the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
Stone has now revealed to reporters that his documentary will try to understand history's biggest murderers, who caused the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people. "Stalin, Hitler, Mao, McCarthy -- these people have been vilified pretty thoroughly by history," he said, adding:
"Stalin has a complete other story. Not to paint him as a hero, but to tell a more factual representation. He fought the German war machine more than any single person. We can't judge people as only 'bad' or 'good.' Hitler is an easy scapegoat throughout history and its been used cheaply. He's the product of a series of actions. It's cause and effect ... People in America don't know the connection between WWI and WWII ... I've been able to walk in Stalin's shoes and Hitler's shoes to understand their point of view. We're going to educate our minds and liberalize them and broaden them. We want to move beyond opinions ... Go into the funding of the Nazi party. How many American corporations were involved, from GM through IBM. Hitler is just a man who could have easily been assassinated."
The director went on to say that conservatives will likely dislike his show. "Obviously, Rush Limbaugh is not going to like this history and, as usual, we're going to get those kind of ignorant attacks," said Stone, who also compared the experience of sympathizing with war criminals to making his "W" movie about George W. Bush. "I'm trying to understand somebody I thoroughly despised."
