Stone says Hollywood glorifies war

Oliver Stone, who is at the Venice Film Festival for his Sept. 11 drama, World Trade Center, has accused Hollywood of glorifying war.
"Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down - these movies worshiped the machinery of war," Stone said. "And I think America went back to the concept of war too easily."
Unlike previous decades, which also produced antiwar films, Stone said, the '90s were dominated by pictures "that promoted the concept of war."
"I have reasons to be depressed as a Vietnam veteran," said Stone, who made the Vietnam film Platoon. "And I can say many Vietnam veterans are depressed about why we are in Iraq."
Stone, who said his film had a message of hope, said "things have gotten very dark" since the Sept. 11 attacks. "There is more terror, there is more death, there is more war."

"Platoon" was good, though there was a bunchabullshit in it.
