Oliver Stone: We Live In A Disney World

The 'Snowden' director believes we live in a world of sanitized media, and he's devoted his career to telling stories that dive beneath the surface.

Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

[@AnEvolvingApe]

Man, how incredible would it be to sit down with Oliver Stone, smoke some reefer and talk about shit? Colbert blew this interview, repeating that Stone was into "secrets and conspiracies" and Stone visibly annoyed by it.

[@elchucofried5683]

lol that Joseph Gordon dude did

[@phuse99]

yeah man, he had to throw those buzz words in. Had to get that MSM programming in the interview. I'm really tired of hearing the words; conspiracy theory, because none of this is either. It's real.

[@bryancolley1409]

There's a conspiracy against conspiracy.

[@bertagriese8282]

Not your best interview, Colbert

[@mautao675]

I Blame the lame guest

[@bertagriese8282]

Because Colbert did not take his guest serious and had no empathy, did not see he was annoyed. Like he was on a mission. And btw - I don't care about any of these guys beliefs. Colbert proud himself to treat guests respectfully (at least when the show started) - in recent interviews I miss that. F.i. he keeps interrupting guests more and more.

[@simonclarke7309]

I'm disappointed in Colbert here

[@sharpsmirnoff6316]

He played that like a government CUNT

[@freddytoloni8450]

He's acting like a douche. And I'm a big fan of colberts by the way

[@farye]

He was playing the devil's advocate and is a bloody good interviewer. colbert was speaking on behalf of the doubters but i think Oliver put them to rest with his eloquent response to every question colbert threw at him.

[@seanmeehan5955]

Oh, Stephen, you ran a hit interview. I'm a little embarrassed for you. You can and should do better.

[@seanmeehan5955]

I'm not certain what you mean by "nutbaggery". Are you referring to JFK or some other work he's done? Why should he be treated like a "sideshow huckster"? There's a lot of ad hominem but not much justification.

[@docvaliant721]

4h is a guy that likes his own comment and he talks about a Vietnam vet that makes intelligent movies in a spiteful manner. He is so possessed about trump where ever that came from. It was a hit interview.

[@docvaliant721]

Ridley Scott is my favorite director. Its entertaining when someone uses dismissive language like racisit, conspiracy theorist, bigot and other ad hominem. I just don't care for you bc your a troll. You act like a crazy person and when ppl logically shut you down you find another place to comment. We don't know a lot. World is full of liars and sociopaths doesn't take a conspiracy to know that tho.

[@docvaliant721]

You are so right :)

[@seanmeehan5955]

Doc Valiant , I was a little surprised that Colbert, usually a pretty thoughtful guy, seemed to behave in such a bent, dismissive way. I wasn't even an entertaining hit piece, it just struck me as petty. I wonder if they have some bad history from the "Colbert Report" days? Anyway, it's too bad, I like them both and I was hoping for more. Have a good one!

[@renhoek3851]

'but if everyone just follows their conscience' - wow, stephen has really changed. how can you argue with doing the right thing?!

[@JavierPerez-cx4jw]

But my idea of the "right thing" is different from yours. The idea of a government is that laws are made to decide what is right and wrong. The idea if a democracy is that different people come together to decide which laws are justified.

[@terro740]

i think you completely missed his point.... no i know you did.

[@conversationnation1425]

@@JavierPerez-cx4jw And who decides whether the government's idea of the "right thing" is right

[@TommyBeaux]

Stephen has not followed his conscience for a few years now.

[@walterm.robertsiiiphd2157]

One can go back as far as ancient Greek literature (and follow that with Cicero among the Romans) to arrive at the distinction between conventional (what is legal) and universal moral law (what is correct to conscious). Socrates of Plato's Apology and Antigone of Sophocles are the literary exemplification of the same idea: the idea of a moral conscious/sense of duty that trumps the "law" of the state (Athens) or the edict of a King (Creon of Thebes). It does not boil down to moral relativism; but I guess amid our modern pluralism, it very well might come very close.

[@DSinghKMarx]

Stephen is unbearable here.

[@mautao675]

you are unworthy

[@gloriousmustache9467]

@mau tao What a poor soul you are..I feel pity.

[@MatSenthul]

The moment Stone mentioned American Muslim's porn habits being monitored to discredit them, Colbert pulls out the 'discredit Oliver Stone card' and asks him if he's high. You broke my heart Stephen

[@jasonbean7296]

what about smoking weed is discrediting?

[@Misanola]

Only because it's against the corporate narrative as to what is "good" or creditable.

[@miguel_vlzqz]

¿De qué hablas? Stephen no lo sacó para desacreditar a Stone. Recuerda que Stephen es un comediante y el host de un Talk show. Una practica estándar en estos programas en referencias lo que otro invitado dijo de el invitado actual (Stewart lo hacía, lo hace Conan y Kimmel). Además, la escena de JGL y Stone fumando mariguana es objetivamente graciosa. La entrevista ya estaba terminando así que Stephen no podía dejar pasar sacar el tema: es el punto perfecto para terminar la entrevista desde el punto de comedia y el punto del talk show.

[@ArthurKnight1899]

i still didn't clearly get what Stone meant by that, can u please explain???

[@TheOneAndOnlyNAB]

Or, just maybe, their time was running out and Colbert had to cut off a rambling Oliver Stone who went into bizzaro territory for no reason. It was a joke that Colbert served up for Oliver to end the interview with some levity.

[@kevo4178]

Oliver Stone is my spirit animal.

[@elchucofried5683]

for Oliver's case I'm sure he fine with a lot of wackos would not watch his movies for that

[@Fixing_the_system]

from a guy who loves Colbert.. I'm a bit disappointed in this interview.. it seemed quite bias.. and reading the other comments, I see I'm not the only one.

[@neosoul2203]

*biased

[@Tripserpentine]

He was being satirical.

[@docvaliant721]

Agree it was a poor interview. If you cant pick up the slant then that's on your low perception.

[@docvaliant721]

Talking about the interview dougie. That's not even the definition of bias or in context to the interview. I wont drag your ass to the water to drink so go troll elsewhere hero.

[@docvaliant721]

We haven't seen the movie. So chill out about the movie. Eat a snickers bar or make tin foil hat memes. I love the arrogance that comes with dismissal attitudes.

[@Sarafara7]

Why was Colbert being rude here? I didn't think he treated Stone well...even though this talk was the most interesting yet.

[@David-sp9vd]

He had him on in the first place and you could even tell the respect in the hand shake.

[@ensteffo]

As expected considering his employer.

[@zcrib3]

He tried to make it more jokey and less heavy. This isnt the show where you talk about issues this deep.

[@xenunovak9138]

STEPHEN IS AWFUL IN EVERY INTERVIEW!!!!

[@raffy_rodriguez]

Honestly. Stephen is bad in a lot of interviews with "controversial" figures. He ALWAYS plays the interview safe by playing "Devil's Advocate". He doesn't want to rock the boat and he doesn't want to take any sides that might provoke controversy, only the ones that are politically acceptable to take. He's takes way less risks than even Jon Stewart took, and for that, politically speaking, Stephen is a pretty unremarkable Late Show host. He's certainly smart, and entertaining... but strikes me as being just another member of the mainstream liberal elite...

[@diadlo777]

For everyone trying to discredit Oliver Stone, he went to Vietnam and got a Purple Heart, I think he should deserve some respect.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

For serving his country, but not for his historical fiction crap.

[@monkeyman2407]

Stone is brilliant. What a down to earth guy & truly a class act.

[@monkeyman2407]

No, when I think conspiracy theorist I think of Alex Jones, Jesse Ventura etc..

[@monkeyman2407]

He made JFK. One film about a conspiracy theory based on the books by Jim Garrison. It's a pretty common topic of interest, even in Washington. I will grant that it is definitely a conspiracy theory, but his large body of work does not center around conspiracy theories. (If he makes a film about Reptilians, the Illuminati & Bohemian Grove, then he can earn the title.)

[@ambroseburnside5764]

+Poo Poo Jim Garrison's Books are pretty good though.

[@HeyPumpkin]

Stephen was more confrontational here than he was with Donald Trump, he was pretty friendly with Donald Trump compared to this. I don't know a great deal about Oliver Stone, but it's pretty disappointing - I don't see how Oliver Stone deserves more contempt and less respect than Donald Trump does.

[@554466551]

Colbert was doing Stone a service. By posing the arguments his detractors would Colbert handed Stone a megaphone to outline why he believes he is right and they are wrong. I would want to be interviewed in exactly the same way if I had been labelled a crank.

[@FishyBurrito]

Very good point!

[@jaredflanery2715]

excellent comparison

[@ronniemassart3834]

He certainly does

[@liamneeson303]

He felt superior to Trump on IQ. But he knows Stone is ahead of him in IQ. Colbert is almost a bourne identity to me...

"They can send him to jail for as long as they want." You know, like Gitmo. America loves freedom.

[@aboubacaramine8689]

I don't think so. Weed still has a pretty bad image.

[@aboubacaramine8689]

that's one thing but it doesn't mean most people would take a weed smoker seriously. In the mainstream mindset, weed is associated with laziness, artsy stuff and outlandish ideas. A weed smoker is stereotypically someone who kinda lives in his own crazy world, which is how Stephen is trying to depict Stone here. You can see it through the whole interview, he throws tiny remarks about how he makes movies about conspiracies with shady evidence and stuff...

[@ActionGamerAaron]

+4hpook Yes, I can. He shows no signs of being anything less than a rational being and pot likely led him down a road of curiosity sooner than it would one of craziness.

[@alexanderlinderson2655]

But that's no reason for allowing it to keep happening. It's irresponsible of us to allow all these types of corruption happen right under our noses. The government needs to be afraid of the people, not the other way around.

[@PhantomLegion100]

One of the first rules of being an interviewer is to listen. It is of course, perfectly acceptable to challenge your guest, and I think everything Colbert asked was fair. But he cuts Stone off, and does not listen, and deprives us of the ability to listen as well.

[@Lgg130]

what're y'all talking about? Stephen didn't try to convince anyone, nor did he "attack" Stone. He asked the right questions so Stone could convince US that snowden should NOT stand trial.

You know that means Stone is a sell out too right? A bias chump spinning a narrative is a sellout through and through. Funny how the lower common denominators love Stone so much, probably because you lack enough education to also lack critical thinking skills which is why you guzzle down the idealistic and deluded ramblings of a far-left washed up director scrambling for any amount of credibility he can claw at without even contemplating if the wierdo with a hard on for Putin is only doing what he's doing because nobody else wants to associate themselves with a man with leanings towards an authoritarian dictator.

Once weed becomes legal to the masses and we choose it over other inebriates, I feel we all are going to make more sound and informed choices when it comes to deciding the outcome of our government

[@richardjones4259]

I agree

[@ItsNotDarkYet]

You should expect an escalation in DEA raids & prison for those smoking pot under a Trump/GOP presidency.

[@matrixistrue]

Weed expands your consciousness, hence illegal. All zombie drugs are legal

[@camq-py7bs]

"Are we being watched all the time?" Works for a company with a big eye as their logo. Lmao

[@the-chillian]

Wes below understands what Colbert was doing here. He wasn't attacking. He was giving Stone a forum for responding to the criticisms that are sure to come, since he's been criticized in these ways before.

[@SuperSquishface]

This was a pretty bad job from Stephen.

[@douglasbittencourt594]

Interviewer speaks so much

[@Hakshavalah]

So sad they cut and edited the part right after he talks about the Bible. Would have LOVED to see Stephen debate the Bible with Oliver Stone.

[@thezebraherd8275]

Yeah

[@RollingOrmond]

Colbert doesn't even grill him here. The commenters on this board must not be used to basic interviewing after watching Fallon's game show version of late night.

[@realycooldude94]

Is it me or stephen was kind of rushing the interview, the responses were getting interesting

[@justme-hh4vp]

"If everybody followed their conscience...., we would end up having an anarchic system" If good, ethical people lead to anarchy, what does that say about the system? Stephen says the quiet part out loud!

[@syystomu]

Pardon Edward Snowden and free Chelsea Manning!

[@naterodas7247]

Colbert , stop interrupting him . You do not let your guest talk ! So rude ! You asked him a question, and yet do not let him answer it , by shouting your own comments !

[@ali56]

Stephen Colbert is often ''confrontational'' with guests that bring political luggage with them. It's not just Stone. This is a good thing. He plays the devil's advocate, so you think of the issues from more than one perspective. This is why I value his interviews.

[@bryancolley1409]

It worked much better when he was pretending to be a staunch conservative.

[@nakianiteshade]

So he really is OLIVER STONED.... Nice!

[@mr7wi]

That's funny - I award you one intarwebs!

[@snowflake1458]

Let the man talk Stephen. Everytime he comes on the show, he is not respected and heard. He is telling the truth

[@andrewmartin1177]

yeah, colbert, you were a bettter journalist when you were impersonating one. If you you want to help the public discourse and not just yourself your career and bank account, how about try not selling your soul and dignity to a corporation, you tool. have some self-respect, your a disappointment

[@wwbenee]

Like a freaking annoying child this Colbert, waiting for a mishap to take Stone down, at the end he got what he wanted.

[@ThinkLascivious]

When he said, "The Bible". Lol.

[@syedshamrezrehanshahkazmi3324]

A lot of people are saying Colbert was fishy during the interview, I agree he was, but at the end of the day, he's just an entertainer, not a seeker of truth and justice, he isn't Malcom X but rather Ed Sullivan. His job is to promote the guest and make people laugh. Clearly Oliver Stone was being shut down.

[@villegas24]

Oliver stone is a freaking legend

[@OrigEntertainmentOfficial]

Oliver Stone's "Harambe" comes out in 2017.

[@testosticorefantastiballs6504]

Guys, have you forgotten that Colbert used to have a show where he challenged people with political agendas all the time? It was his job to challenge his guests to get them to expound on their agenda more. With a guy like Oliver Stone, he just can't help it.

[@TommyBeaux]

Nope - he used to challenge power by questioning. Now he is protecting power by being dismissive of those on the margins who are trying to find voice to speak truth to power.

[@Mabsss33]

Stephen grills guys like Oliver Stone but when Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump is on the show he does nothing. No follow up questions no real responses. He would never have done that on the Colbert Report. He grilled everyone equally on that show.
