 tEND TO AGREE WITH YOU, JOHN. IT WAS DERIVATIVE, A VIRTUAL FEAST FOR
PASTICHE POSTMODERNIST GROUPIES. AS USUAL, OLIVER STONE BEGINS WITH AN
INTERESTING PREMISE, THEN GETS CARRIED AWAY WITH THE ROLLER COASTER
EMOTIONAL RIDE HE CREATES FOR HIS AUDIENCE.
DID ANYONE SEE ANY PARTICULAR CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HIS USE OF STOCK FOOTAGE
FROM HARDING-KERRIGAN, THE WILD BUNCH, AND NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, BEYOND THE
USUAL ANSWER OF "FREE PLAY OF SIGNIFICANTION" OR REFERENTS WITHOUT ANY
REALITY. IS THE FILM MORE THAN A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FOUND FOOTAGE EPIC?
