Comments on: WWTW Interview: AU Professor Peter Kuznick – Part II http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/2010/01/14/wwtw-interview-au-professor-peter-kuznick-part-ii/ Movie reviews from award-winning journalist Christian Toto Tue, 27 Dec 2011 04:55:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: K http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/2010/01/14/wwtw-interview-au-professor-peter-kuznick-part-ii/comment-page-1/#comment-24047 K Fri, 15 Jan 2010 01:21:24 +0000 http://whatwouldtotowatch.com/?p=5615#comment-24047 Stone has described himself as a "guerrilla historian", particularly after doing "JFK". If you examine that bit of "secret history" historical film making you find it full of distortions, hearsay and contradictions to fact. Even so, it had a huge influence on subsequent politics by energizing the left with myths of a vast conspiracy. Which undoubtedly was his intention all along. Clearly, Stone is going for round 2 of the "JFK" effect. Since that movie has been well exposed as a fraud it would be necessary to bring "historians" on board to do the dirty work. With Stone you don't need to know much more than he's a drooling fanboy of Chavez and Castro. If he recommends any kind of politics, the best course would be to run away from it.
