What he is best at is to interpret his political views from the stories of small people, and he uses roaring methods.
So what would he say about 9/11?
When the film first opened, I suddenly remembered, how do they make the image of the World Trade Center? Model or computer stunt?
However, when the Gemini Tower appeared on the screen for the first time, revealing her shadow in the morning light, I suddenly felt a pain in my heart. I remembered that the day after 9/11, someone told me about "retribution" on QQ. I yelled at her "Asshole" in a gaffe. At that time, I also felt a lot of pain in my heart, just as it is now.
Throughout the movie, Oliver Stone talks about pain.
He still focused his perspective on the small person, but he stopped roaring, he just whispered about the endurance and dignity of life.
The two policemen thought they would become heroes to rescue others, but they didn't even climb a staircase and were buried underground. The two of them comforted and encouraged each other, and exchanged their painful feelings, their physical pain, and their psychological pain. The warmth of yesterday, under this rubble, has become a painful memory.
They both wondered if they could go out, and encouraged each other to live together.
Obviously, Oliver Stone used these two men as a metaphor for how the United States was struggling with trauma after 9/11.
The two policemen kept saying that the pain helped us to survive. The endurance of pain has become the dignity of survival. I think this is the message Oliver Stone wants to convey the most.
I think I can understand why Oliver Stone behaves so tenderly in this movie. Five years later, this painful memory still makes it difficult for us to face it. Deeper reflection requires more time. What Oliver Stone can do now is nothing more than that.
In any case, I still want to go to the theater to watch this movie again.
IMDB scored 6.7 (8265 people voted), I scored 7.
