Hugo Chavez wins, because in the name of egotism he gets a Hollywood movie just for himself, obtaining colossal propagandistic benefits for his personal political project.
Oliver Stone also wins, even if we concede that the current Venezuelan president did not help to finance the film, because with a motion picture dedicated to Chavez, this movie tycoon and some Hollywood studios achieve an invaluable promotion. The publicity received by the film "South of the Border" in the Venezuelan government press is sensational, the national election results don't have the same attention from the Chavista media. These businessmen have now all the power of the Venezuelan State promoting for free their capitalist product -which is exchanged for money in order to attain capital gains-. Normally Stone and Hollywood studios would spend a fortune to advertise their merchandise, but not if they made a movie for the leader of the Venezuelan revolution, it is the XXI century socialism working for private U.S. interests.
Unfortunately Venezuela loses, because while these two satisfy their selfishness without caring about costs, the Venezuelan State is the one that pays the bills that run this society between Hollywood's capitalism and Chavez's socialism, in a country where a huge number of Venezuelans live in extreme poverty.
