Oliver Stone | Cambridge Union

I love you Oliver! Your knowledge, integrity, intelligence and demeanor. You like Noam Chomsky are heroes of mine. I was a buck Sergeant in Fort Benning in 65/67 as a draftee, offered to go to OCS and passed. I hate wars and think that the Military Industria Complex is an instrument of the Oligarchy to rob the teal that created by the American worker, who through his payroll taxes pays for the debt incurred in the purchase of war parafernalia that goes into the pockets of the owners of the companies who make the instruments of war. It’s easy, legal, and not understood by an American electorate, so unaware and ignorante that close to two hundred million would vote for a mithomaniac like Trump. You have taught me so much and I’m so grateful for it. I wish you and your family lots of love, health and peace. Thank you dear friend.

Oliver is my history teacher. Taught me more than I learned in school.

Were your history teachers flagrant and paranoid liars?

Stone deserves Nobel Peace Prize for his work

[@StefanBorkenstein]

American citizens should never again getting an Nobel Peace Prize. Not until the US-Government had shown their will for making some significant changes in their foreign policies. Everything else is completely absurd.

[@delona6485]

Anna Warner agreed!

[@opustovoy]

I would say obviously he and deserve one of the biggest appreciation but President Obama has same Noble price so I would say Nobel Prize is really bad spots on it because of that it may be a better at first 2 take it away from this kind of people that price before to give it to really smart courageous people

[@aaronz7056]

For what, painting the police officers who risked their lives at the Texas Theater capturing a trigger-happy suspect alive as per their duty as being nothing but conspirators themselves like a completely classless scumbag?

[@annawarner1078]

@@opustovoy Remind me, for what Obama got Nobel Peace prize? For invading Iraq and Afghanistan? Or just that Swedes had expectations that since Obama was half Black, he would curtail US war engagements? Fat chance.

[@canyildiz5966]

Thank you Stone for all your hard work and efforts, for being a truth-seeker and a relentlessly courageous man🙏🏼

[@aaronz7056]

He's a charlatan.

[@narjitmankoo8478]

Oliver Stone is a genius.

[@matthewcohen7488]

He absolutely nailed the Hillary/Trump dynamic from the drop: they are figures right out of the most dystopian novel of all time. And we are living it! Love to hear his analysis of the Trump Presidency up to this very day. He must be aghast as I am.

[@adminabmtowers5848]

Stone is a lot of a humanist, he attained an equilibrium over the decades since he fought in Vietnam, hats off

[@evanokeroa4877]

His type never fails to astound

[@camilom2752]

In a world full of lies from our own politicians and media it is great to know they are film makers like him that are bold enough to look past the criticism and expose the truth were not suppose to know or believe. The big question is who will be the next young director that can make films similar to his ? So we can enjoy more films like his as we age

[@FatimaCastillo-b6v]

May he live forever!!! My hero. Oliver Stone.

[@Roeszyfloras]

I can’t believe at the Cambridge union they asked “How do you come up with your ideas?”

[@rpm8865]

Over educated under intelligent

[@dougstyles]

I can smell the leather through my screen

[@vallikencorvuskane4556]

Yes they do have massive data bases! this is why it is important to detract them as they think they are distracting you! Create your own facets, Be kind and love everyone regardless what anyone has done. Love to ALL

[@evanokeroa4877]

She says alot right at the start which is overwhelming

[@Screaming-Trees]

Security vs privacy, a false dichotomy.

[@BEBOP268]

We have superheroes because we have nobody that's as a good leader

[@annalisavajda252]

Well Jordan Peterson compared the modern obsession with superheros as a comparison to how people used to worship gods in fact Thor who is an Avenger is actually a demigod historically. Stone directed Alexander and it begins with his father telling him all the legends of Achilles etc. too just modern myths but an unrealistic standard even for the greatest minds or athletes. Philosophers were real though he may be a bit like them.

[@arunanantheeswaran]

This man is what the ancient Greeks would call a ‘sophos.’

[@sprobablycancr4457]

SOPHOS, a Guatemalan bookstore[citation needed]. Just kidding. I concur.

[@arunanantheeswaran]

ΨψΨψΨ hahaha

[@carlcopeland702]

Stone is terrific, but what a stuffy, pedantic audience.

[@chrisgillard6129]

Hopefully they will grow out of that with real life experiences

[@gaveller]

The interviewer is terrible!

[@barracuda7018]

Bad name for Cambridge, terrible English accent..

[@Silly.Old.Sisyphus]

"why are superheroes popular"? it's a good question. why is God popular?

[@sexynelson100]

It's because Hollywood is running out of ideas for new movies..

[@timothylosee4714]

Because God is so real, so good, and so for us.

[@eaton55r]

Is everyone at Cambridge sleeping, afraid to ask questions or waiting to be told what to think? Wasting an education...

Oliver is going Speak English ffs!

[@shangrila73eldorado]

What on earth is wrong with this guy? Why is Stone so often pulling on his nose? Is it a nervous tic like Slavoj Žižek has? It drives me nuts! I wonder if he is doing coke. Is his nose infected? It is a large French proboscis, but jeez louise! I'd hesitate to shake his hand.

[@BEBOP268]

Pleeeeaazz

[@chrisgillard6129]

Perhaps you should buy him a nice embroidered handkerchief. Her Majesty may have an old Hanoverian from King George's collection.

[@rajivshori]

You are profiling him based on his nonverbal and verbal questions he also touches his lower chin and forehead by the way
