Pretend you don't hear the voice-over.

While I really like this as a whole, it would've been much better without the voice-over. It tried to tell you what the movie was about instead of letting you come to your own conclusions. It seemed like Oliver Stone spent two hours trying to tell a story, then ended up not trusting the audience enough to process it. I'm sure he thought the voice-over would give the movie more weight, a more reflective tone, but it just seemed sort of lame to me. I don't think it added anything of worth.
