One of the Most Hypocritical Films in History

There was a time when I used to respect Oliver Stone. That time has elapsed. This film is the equivalent of a XXX porno movie that's protesting XXX porno movies. I'm sure that many will disagree with me. And that's partly because this movie's point is not really clear. Everything in this movie is reflective of something else (i.e. "...it's violent because the world's violent, that's point..." ect. ect.)so any criticism against the film is pointless. A satire without a clear point amounts to a lot of sound and fury and that's exactly what this movie amounts to. But I'm sure critics will hail this film as a great satire of American pop culture. At the same time it will surely inspire disaffected or disgruntled people with revenge fantasies. I'm sure they'll find it Columbine-tastic.
