9/11 Truther reviews Stone film, says Oliver hints at alternative theories

Here is an interesting review of Oliver Stone's 9/11 movie which was mentioned on Minstrel Boy's message board, Rigorous Intuition. The reviewer's main point is that although Stone does not address criticism of the official conspiracy theory directly, Stone includes many factual details that are consistent with the critical view of 9/11 -- namely secondary explosions, melting steel, etc. His conclusion is that Stone is providing hints to those who do not accept the official story that Stone himself is a skeptic of the official story:

Advance Review of Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" by a 9/11 Truth Activist

Having gotten an invitation to an advance screening of Oliver Stone’s latest film ‘World Trade Center’ in San Francisco last week, I gladly took up the offer to see this much-anticipated film.

As a 9/11 Truth activist and I was going to take a decidedly different approach in reviewing the film than other sources. Instead of analyzing the acting, the plot or by speculating on how well it would do at the box office, I instead was going to look at the film for clues that Oliver Stone was aware of problems with the official story and, hopefully, enlighten the viewing audience in his cinematic narrative. Was the Oliver Stone that politically transformed a generation by exposing us to an alternative understanding of the way the world works, like he did in ‘JFK’, still out there? Would he mention Building 7, the explosions heard by rescue personnel going off within the building and other strange anomalies? This is what I had my eyes and ears out for.
<snip>
After calls for the evacuation of the towers, Port Authority Chief McCloughlin rushes to organize a team of officers to assist people who are trying to get out of the building. As the team of volunteers moves through Tower 2, one can hear the very audible sound of explosives going off all around them. The rookie Jimeno comments on these sounds only to be told by McCloughlin, “Don’t Think, Just Move.” Sound familiar?

Soon, the explosions get more powerful and with a terrible roar Tower 1 comes crashing down leaving the two men buried in the concourse elevator shaft, along with their dead, or soon to be dead, colleagues.

(I would like to stop here in the narrative and give Stone credit for emphasizing the explosions. They were very noticeable and corroborate eyewitness testimony by emergency personnel. 1 point for Stone.)

The drama continues to unfold with interspersed sounds of explosions and another harrowing escape from death as Tower 2 falls down with a crashing roar around the pinned men. After both towers fall, there is an inexplicable scene of more explosions, coupled with hissing sounds and then a scene from Dante’s Hell — flaming boulders fall and molten steel pours on the men to their astonished horror. Once again, the rookie screams in puzzlement and frustration as to what could cause such a thing to happen.

(Here I believe that Stone trying to convey a termite reaction on steel. Another point if he was. (See Stephen E. Jones paper on Thermite and the World Trade Center buildings at www.scholarsfor911truth.org/

Unfortunately, the officers do not get a reprieve from the horror as many hours later they are rocked once again as Building 7 comes crashing down near them. Here Stone shows a TV news clip, you know that frontal shot of the building that looks like an unmistakable demolition. The puzzled faces on the port Authority officers at headquarters as they view this scene on the television conveys just how incredulous the thought this event was.

(Another point for Stone for showing that Building 7 clip coupled with the incredulous faces of the officers. See WTC7.net for video clip. 3 points in total so far for Stone for showing obvious anomalies in the official story.)
<snip>
To sum it up, Stone not only did a good job in relating the story of these men and for conveying the emotional and psychological trauma that occurred to them and their families, but for also conveying the message that there are problems with the official story. By emphasizing the explosions, showing the collapse of Building 7 and implying Thermite usage, I believe that he was trying to wake people up to these important issues.

I know I am being presumptuous by assuming Stone is a disbeliever of the official story of 9/11, but I believe he has giving us enough cinematic clues to conclude that is the case. Will the audience notice is the question.

...

I was worried. I know he can only do so much, but let the evidence speak for itself. The truth wrapped around by a heroic story of bravery and survival. The firemen and police officers there know what they witnessed. I'm glad he included these all subtle but very important details. I think people will see the film and if they don't know 9/11 truth it just may make them wonder, just like the firemen and police officers wondered what they heck was happening. It doesn't add up, and the official 9/11 conspiracy theory (hypothesis) is totally lacking in explaining it. I hope viewers will ask questions and pursue it. It sounds like he has done what he could in ever so subtle ways.

I will defiantly see this mainstream Hollywood 9/11 film.

It is way past time for the public to wake-up. And I hope this film helps that, and acknowledges the bravery, and acts of heroism, and properly honors those who gave their lives.

with interesting quotes.

Priestly said so, and swiftboated it accordingly.
