STONE BLAMES WORLD TRADE CENTER BACKLASH ON BUSH

OLIVER STONE blames the poor reception WORLD TRADE CENTER received in the international press on President GEORGE W BUSH, insisting he has turned the world against the US. The Oscar winner was dismayed when European critics slammed the movie following rescue workers after the 9/11 New York terrorist attacks, because he is proud of the film. He says, "We got nasty reviews everywhere. The highbrow press in England hated it. Germany was the worst, then Spain. Even Russia. "The whole world is politicised by George Bush and Iraq. You really feel it. "Anti-Americanism is rampant so it was a very threatening time to bring this movie out."
