Whatever you think about Chavez, it’s very clear this is propaganda, one way or another. Not cinema.
PROP-O-GAN-DA! This is terrifying. Reminds me of dictatorship countries where the school children watch videos that make them brainwashed repeating “He is Great, He is Wonderful, He is God”. And now Oliver stone is tying to spoon feed us this bull? What a traitor. Truly Scary stuff
dkimani I wish you could be more specific when you talk about american arrogance. I find it interesting that America is the number 1 giving country to 3rd world countries, yet you mock it? America has giving hope and relief to people suffering in 3rd world countries like yours where you work for your oppressive leaders that truly only care about power. But I can’t blame you, cos clearly 3rd world education wouldnt be expected to be the most informative.
Which drug do u use? USA propaganda? You write “America has giving hope and relief to people suffering in 3rd world countries”. I’m really scared about you opinion. Your think about it is very dangerous for you. Best wishes.
This is great. Finally someone with integrity goes to South America to find the truth. Yes, I’m tired of the fact that Latin America has to subsidize a great deal to US. Venezuela is slowly taking back from big companies and given it back to the people of Venezuela. As well as the other countries, it’s sad to see a great deal of poverty in Latin America, not because they don’t want to work. It’s because there are no job unlike in the USA where there are jobs, it’s just that people don’t want those jobs that consider below their level or simply because they don’t want to work. I feel for Latin America, because their people are the most innocent and wonderful people in the world. Full of hope, happiness, love. God will help their leaders and their people to change history.
This is going to be a great film. Hugo Chavez was no doubt demonized by the Bush administration.
Its the same dimwits that “voted” Bush into office, that accept the drivel about Chavez being a dictator.
If anything, what Chavez has done is an outstanding example of democracy. Its what America needs more of. We need to stop letting the rich financially rape this country’s economy and the poor of this country need to realize that they have the power, not the military/industrial complex.
hi…!! i`ve been looking to watch the film on line …but no luck…can anyone help me…thanks…
Why does this movie not even show up on Oliver’s filmography on yahoo movies??
I really WANT to see this, but can’t find it anywhere… The blackout is quite incredible and unbeleivable! So is the filth that is being thrown at this movie. That means it must contain lots of information that those at the top don’t want us everyday simpletons to be aware of! More reasons to want to watch it.
America is losing it’s hegemonic grasp on the world, and nowhere is this clearer than in Latin America. The people are finally awaking and laying claim to what is rightfully theirs.
Now if we could only get more American simpletons to wake up as well and realize that the America we used to idolize is no more. It was stolen from us by wall street and the large financial institutions.
Chavez MAY actually come from the
working class he claims to champion
—UNLIKE —son of wealthy Cuban
landowners and now one of the richest men on the planet —Fidel Castro —or son of doctors and never poor —Che ‘Messiah boy’
Guevara —or son of New York
stockbrokers —Oliver Stone.
—Someone check into it!
THE movie is to complicated for a society,that in big porcentage are IGNORANTS.They dont understand how the dictators in WDC,and foreign policies makers are poisoning americans against others country
for the financial controle and own sick reasons .This country care less about the regular people.Only the wealthy knows exactly how capitalism function.You are a number.Stop beeing stupid,read dont watch TV, dont listen to demagogos politician because they made americans crazy and paranoids about others cultures.Relax and see the movie,educated yourself about How,and Why america became a super power .The reality maybe will surprise you.Dont be so naive be more alert about whats going on around the world,dont let this Hypocrites dominate your capacity to understand that the truth has different angle.
Americans! watch, maybe you learn somthing about foreign policies.The power people lies and the corporate media make sure you are getting the information the way the Big guys want.Stoped beeing naive,the truth will suprise you .They could and did lie very good to others generations, today,You dont need to be stupid,educate yourself,maybe we find a better way to have a peace around the world.The globo are sick and tired about americas violent way.
Why are you are walking around blindly spouting rhetoric as if you have real knowledge and everyone who doesn’t agree with you doesn’t… you too are a blind Capitalist spouting against your own interest…. Try to be like a scientist and view the facts on the ground….
