In the film Stone seemed pretty phony, but the Slate interview made him sound like he was doing a bad high school video project. My favorite quote: ALB: Did it strike you as interesting that at one point in the scene with the prisoners, Castro turned to the prisoners' defense lawyers, who just happened to be there, and he says, "I urge you to do your best to reduce the sentences"?
