And that is exactly what Oliver Stone and these two Port Authority Consultants are doing here, ignoring the truth.
These two ladies originally had no objection to Oliver Stone making this movie, and all they asked was that they be able to have some input on behalf of how their husband's last moments were portrayed in the movie. These ladies were willing to do it for free! And the two Port Authority consultants who survived along with Stone told them NO! That is was their movie and they would portray those husbands who died in the way that they felt they should be portrayed! Then these two ladies said that if Stone and the consultants insisted on prortraying their husbands in the way that they ( Stone ) wanted, that he at least change their names in the movie. And Stone and these two guys basically said to these two widows too bad, we'll do it the way that we want, it's our movie!
That is the issue here, not the making of the movie itself per say, but how the two husbands who died are going to be portrayed.
That's what is being objected to by these widows. They originally were not against the making of this movie itself. Not until Stone and his cronies changed the stories of their husbands last moments.
