Stone Defends 'World Trade Center' As Widow Attacks Him
 Movie-maker Oliver Stone has defended his controversial new World Trade Center movie after the widow of a firefighter killed in the line of duty on 9/11 blasted the director for bringing the film to cinemas. Many 9/11 survivors and the families of those killed in the tragedy are supporting the film, but some are unhappy with Stone making the movie so soon after the terrorist attacks brought America to a standstill. Stone isn't naming names but he admits there is one widow in particular who is far from happy with his new film. He says, "I can understand why she would be upset; this goes on in movies a lot but you have to do these things sometimes because they're important. It's a healthy movie, a clean movie. It doesn't offend. It can hurt, it can be hard to go through, you can cry but I think you'll come out cleaned and healed. There's something to be said about facing the fears, confronting them, demythologizing them."
