Oliver Stone's latest masterpiece has a full trailer out. It features the following brilliant artistic choices:

-the NSA working out of a bunker full of glass walls and computery poo poo
-a protagonist passing a test in RECORD TIME!
-JGL doing a goofy imitation accent of a guy with a fairly unremarkable voice
-motion graphics showing the internet as a series of screens, tubes, and flashing lights,


The best element is boiling down Snowden's protest to be basically "The NSA is gonna watch you gently caress!"

i mean this is a guy that made a movie about the jfk assassination that had something like 100+ errors.

IIRC Stone actually said it was a 'counter-myth' to the Warren Commisson 'myth', so it wasn't ever supposed to be accurate (although it still pissed off Mark Lane).

The opening montage leading up to the gunshot is the best thing Stone has ever done imo

the warren report wasn't a myth though. that's like ben stein calling expelled a "counter-myth".
