 Oliver Stone Preps My Lai MoviePosted on Aug 29, 2007
Bruce Willis will star in an Oliver Stone film about the My Lai massacre, perhaps the most infamous atrocity to emerge from the Vietnam War. In other Stone news, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he has “no objection, generally speaking,” to the director’s rumored desire to make a biopic about him but that Stone would need to “let me know what are the frameworks.”

Oh, Joy! Oliver Stone is going to once again present fiction based on history as fact. This atrocious incident in American and Vietnamese history is going to be twisted and fabricated to meet whatever is Stone’s latest position.
And he’s a lousy movie-maker!

Yes, and tell him to investigate HOW the Americal division was formed, why that probably contributed to the chaos that led up to My Lai, etc. The Americal Division itself was a fiasco...it never went to Vietnam as a division, never trained together as a division, the commanders of many units had never worked with adjacent commanders in the various sectors, and it goes on and on. I was on the project that put it all together!

Mr. Stone, don’t forget to ask Colin Powell to work with you on this film.
