article shows how chavez will silence the opposition at any
cost... even at the expense of science... is that really a
democracy? by the way...it is written by science.... one of the
most (if not the most) respected scientific journal whose main
goal is to promote scientific advancement in the world!   By: m on the September 8th, 2009

it is irresponsible to support someone as powerful as hugo chavez
without knowing all the facts or at least giving the point of
view of those who oppose to him. i can't stand people who support
something just because it is labeled "so******t revolution"... it
doesn't make you seem more of an intellectual... it just makes
you look like an idiot!!!! it is a very romantic notion that in
real life can not be achieved... does it not worry you that
chavez is closing broadcasting stations and even firing
scientists?   By: M on the September 8th, 2009

mr. stone as well as the current us goverment should relate with
real people. it so sad that the stardoms from hollywood live in
the same world that our politicians. oliver stone and sean penn
and any hollywood star don't ahve any idea of the reality of
venezuela. they don't know what the real people is going
through. theere is no freedom in venezuela. if oliver stone is
a venezuelan and he wants to make a movie about the real
venezuela and have only one "one" disagrement with chavez, he
would never make a movie about the truth that he is living as a
venezuelan. if he wants to know exactly what is happening in
venezuela and make a movie about the real venzuela, he should
talk to the real people. he will probablt does not want to make
a movie about the truth because he wants to beleive that
so******m is the amswer and chavez is his hero. i am from peru
and i am so proud to be an american citizen and i love its
history and my incas history too. i work hard everyday to pay
for my house and for the future of my children and i don't
appreciate these hollywood starts making movies about a dictator.
when i was in peru i was staying late to see the oscars and i
was so happy to see this group of talented actors and directors.
now, i only enjoy some movies and some directors. all these
heores from the past are gone. i am more selective before i watch
a movie.   By: martha cohen on the September 7th, 2009

some coments about mr stone said about chavez, he said that eh
didnt understand why press is against him, butl let me tell you
mr stone that in a little period maibe you wont hear anything
from the press, not because he is doing well it would be because
all press could be closed, another thing you saod its about how
chavez has done for the poor people, well we reconize that good
things have been done about it but its nothing if you see that
over the period of chavez entered 900 billion dollards and you
can go to venezuela and realize that you cannt see any major
improvement in the venezuelan people lives(poor, average)so ill
give you an advice about say things about chavez, first, search
information about the real true with friends or something like
that and not just from the government because you may be speaking
good things about the next hitler for example and i dont think
this is good bur your name, hope you read this once because this
country isnt going to stand this guy for a long and we hope that
when he had fallen you dont say good things about this
dictator(yeahh he was elected with votes but itsnt enough for a
real democracy)  By: jaime on the September 7th, 2009

i just wanna tell you that you shouldnt say anything good about
hugo chavez without the right information you think that he has
made good things for poor people and itsnt true our country is
now worse than ever, companies are about to close and i dont know
what good has this guy in 10 years personally i recomend that you
go to caracas as unknown without giving any information to the
government and you will see what is the real venezuela  By: jose martinez on the September 7th, 2009

revised mr. stone i just watched the trailer for the upcoming
film about chavez and i wanted to make a few comments about
it: you interviewed kirchners, evo morales and correa, all for
them who have been proved to have received money from chavez to
finance their presidential campaign. i will watch the movie and
hope there are mentions about this. i am from colombia, but my
dad has dual citizenship in venezuela and colombia. 18 years ago,
when i was 8 years old and in the 3rd grade, the situation in
colombia was disastrous, and venezela was one of, if not the most
prosperous country in south america. back then 1 dollar was worth
more or less 70 bolivars and roughly 700 colombian pesos. 18
years later, the price of the dollars with respect to the
colombian pesos has triplicated, but in the case of venezuela,
now the dollars is 30 times more expensive which is ridiculous
for a country whose economy is based mainly in oil. even more
worrisome, more than 50% of the basic products sold in venezuela
are from colombia and now chavez is threatening to cut commercial
relationships with us. even if they do replace the colombian
products with argentinean and brazilian products the prices will
go up exponentially due to the fact that colombia is the closes
neighbor and transportations costs won’t even compare. how is
venezuela supposed to eat? also, i lived in miami for 8 years
where i had the chance to meet many venezuelan people who ran
away from the disaster that was taking place in the country. you
will think that most of this people were “the oligarchy” of
venezuela, but you will be mistaken. i know about 5 families, all
from the eastern part of venezuela who trough hard work obtained
professional degrees and worked for pdvsa, but after chavez
nationalized the oil industry, they all lost their job and were
forced to move to miami where they clean houses for a living but
rather do that than stay in venezuela and see the demise of their
country at the hands of chavez. these are just facts of the top
of my head, but i will gladly do some more research and send you
more facts…. just thought maybe you wanted to hear the other
perspective oh, by the way, it is important to mention that my
dad voted for chavez in the first presidential elections and now
thinks it is the biggest mistake he has made in his life.   By: Maria on the September 4th, 2009

Dear Mr. Stone, Your movie on Alexander the Great was good, but
not good enough because you based it on the Greco-Roman literary
sources only. Unfortunately, these don't tell the truth.
Alexander was a much smarter guy than you and others think. Don't
get me wrong. I'm not a Greek with nationalistic sentiments. I'm,
in fact, from Iran/Persia. You've my email. Get in touch and I'll
tell you how Alexander prevailed at Gaugamela. You have the money
and experties to make a movie of the real Battle of Gaugamela
that would eclipse everything yourself and others have made about
Alexander...  By: Farhad on the November 24th, 2008

Thank God that a rowdy, hard drinking, girl chasing, good-timing,
repentant Texan, with a little cash and marginal GPA was around
long enough to protect the American people from another fanatic
Islamic attack and to enable another moronic, lazy/drunk-eyed
film maker to express his dismal and worthless opinion. America
is truly the home of the brave and land of the free-loader  By: jpr on the October 8th, 2008

Oliver you are the very best director who can produce a movie
about this really great man: Nikola Tesla, who faced the
stablishment by the end of the 19th century and the begining of
the 20th, with his teory and work of Free Energy for all. Thank
you for your atention  By: C.A.R. on the September 16th, 2008
