can you put some information up here on where you get that from?
I'm kinda indifferent about. I usually end up watching his movies but I can only think of a few I actually enjoyed.
He did produce The People vs Larry Flynt which is one of my all-time favs.
I believe that the Terminator series after Terminator 1 had chinese backing as well for loans. The chinese give out lots of loans to the us and buy us debt itself. This is a known fact. A lot of other countries banks do this as well. I think the chinese just wanted to make some cash and thought this was a good investment. I don't think its propaganda by the chinese. Although I really doubt they would support or loan money for a anti-socialist movie.
what he said.
edit .... ooops. I thought this was directed at the OP ... this IS the OP ... do you have the story where you heard the Chinese backed the movie?

IMHO, Oliver Stone is a high-brow film maker with one hell of a track record -- Platoon, Wall Street, Born on the 4th of July, The Doors, JFK, Natural Born Killers, Nixon and Any Given Sunday -- who happened to pander to an obviously base political audience to garner some cheap publicity and hopefully some "easy money".
Usually the guy focuses on broad social commentary and clandestine political truths, and he does it with great cinematic effect. However, those films aren't too often massive money makers.
This time, i think Stone was just looking to cash in on a more or less idiotic audience that he hopes will go flocking to the theatre to see his idiotic take on the latest president.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
