Oliver Stone's World Trade Center Opens in a Week

Here's what Arianna Huffington has to say about the film (she calls it a "political rorschach test):

When it comes to politics, World Trade Center is the cinematic equivalent of a Rorschach test. People will see in it what they want to see. Already, some are hailing it as a "flag-waving, God Bless America film," while others are describing it as "apolitical." In truth, it's neither jingoistic nor apolitical. Its politics is woven within the fabric of the movie and within our own memories of that tragic day. For me, the film serves as a reminder of what is at stake in the fight against terrorism -- and what has been squandered by the Bush administration in terms of money, lives, and global goodwill.
