Oliver Stone: Satire and Controversy - Complete

[@CitizenO741]

This was an amazing experience to see live. Big upz to the Banff Centre for putting this together. I had a good time.

[@Ryoufriggingserious]

I could listen to Oliver speak all night. He's an amazing person.

[@conorsmith8551]

Same. He's a national treasure

[@mike216ism]

Totally agree, I think so many of us can relate to his view of the world evolving and changing as we get older and smarter. He's a very honest open minded individual. Very rare these days

[@nodescriptionavailable3842]

Yep

[@JardineFlower]

I've watched and downloaded so many interviews with him that i now use them to fall asleep to at night! He's a legend!

[@danielholman7225]

I didn’t realize that he had done 30 moves. Wow, that’s impressive. And amazingly covered so much ground, politics, war, crime, social issues.

[@leshernandez8577]

As a fellow non-conformist I love and respect this great gentleman with a deep appreciation for all that he's about. Question everything? and never ever stop thinking things through for our world will be better for it. Conforming without inquiring its not a life worth living.

[@plankton8978]

We need more citizens like Oliver Stone.

Dear Mr. Oliver Stone, you are heard. Love from Indonesia, South Asia, a green country that always in "spring".

[@jakeenan]

Oliver Stone, a great man great artist. Love listening to him talk. Endlessly fascinating and often infuriating, irritating and wrong. I've seen all his movies and adore so many and hate a bunch of them too. But he's an education and so inspiring and I hope he never stops til he drops. And what's next? A movie on Snowden and the NSA. Hope he hits that with both barrels.

[@markdubois3614]

The way people or the public misunderstand what the core message is in a film or what directors are saying is so valuable in telling you that people see what they want to see and that people avoid the truth about each of us.

[@annalisavajda252]

Yes well people have biases and limitations to their perspectives and should maybe just avoid intellectual or educational films if all they want is entertainment nothing thought provoking or philosophical. When he does just a more "fun" film though that offends some expectations too I think he is bold enough to just not care since he knows he can't please everyone. Personally many "popular" films bore me terribly anyway no art to them.

[@mohannedalshannat963]

Greeting from Palestine to Oliver Stone. We love you very much.

[@edfeltch]

Mohanned Alshannat Stay strong,I remain in solidarity with all in Palestine.

[@陈瀚龙]

You gotta someone who's justified in their confidence. I admire that he's made so many films, that got a lot of people talking, though I don't think many of them are very good. As a historian, an intellectual, and a human, all respect to Oliver Stone.

[@wally1452]

Great! May Oliver do even more great things, getting truth out. Man, he is amazing.

[@maxpower78-15]

The cool thing about Stone is, even if i dont always agree with his conclusions in some of stuff, it cant be denied how well made his films are. He has made movies that i didnt like, was indifferent to, and loved. JFK and Natural Born Killers are so well made, and i happen to love them. The Doors also just great and artfully done.

[@kayseabdi3911]

i salute oliver stone he is great man .

[@mikebacchus5421]

Great interview. Thank you sir.

[@frostysworld5375]

This is fantastic, I learned a lot! Thanks for making this happen.

[@pk9851]

Luther Baldwin fraternized with people who did not know the language and the ethical standards required to uphold the principles of the constitution. On July 27, 1798, President John Adams and the First Lady were belittled by a drunkard coming out of a tavern, and the drunk Luther Baldwin used the same words to change the momentous home trip of the First family into a folly. The alien and sedition act is quite similar to this situation because during the time when the Great masterpiece film, Platoon, was completed, the new members into our well constructed society were beginning to learn how to use the proper language to fit into what we uphold are true to our human nature. So, Mr. Oliver Stone, you should feel very proud that you have stayed true to all our principles. One man CAN NOT know everything even when some people can accomplish so much like you have, sir.

[@robertrichard6107]

'The Greatest Generation' was written by a newsman who is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, check out those war mongers. I recalled the other day reading a 'Dennis the Menace Comic book' in the late 50's early 60's where the family goes out west on vacation, and they end up watching an atmospheric nuclear test in Nevada. Several comic book pages are dedicated to a huge nuclear cloud, and they patriotized it in a fourth of July theme! I wasn't 8 yet but thought what bullshit. Kuznick, and Stones' 615 plus pg. 'Untold History of the U.S.' with notes, and index is very complete and thorough in scope. They don't steer you wrong, as G. Vidal says it can increase the American 10 min. attention span. More in depth reading should include H. Zinn 'A People's History of the U.S.' - way off from K-12 school spin, MSM, approved party politic.

[@MrOkami75]

Oliver Stone as compelling as ever.

[@emeraldviolet2001]

This man is a pure genius and i love his movies so much. Anyone that still supports armed USA occupation and conflict with other countries should watch Salvador and Platoon.

[@xanbex8324]

I like and admire this man tremendously !

[@halbiggiam3320]

No bullshit, w/o self-promotion is so refreshing.

[@shannonsmith7201]

I love his movie commentaries ie platoon and 4th July.🧨💣

[@xxwantedxx]

i think he only has one bad film on his hands and that's fucking incredible. i wish i was like this guy.

[@MrZombiekiller23]

which one is that, I am more than curious lmao

[@dougstyles5091]

Mr Stone is a great guy.

[@ThunderAppeal]

Interesting how what Stone says about his film Wall Street, about the Gordon Gecko character becoming a banker, that is pretty much what happened when the market crashed in 2006. Is what happened when the banks are intermingled with the investment firms.

[@robertrichard6107]

I'm having a Quantitative easing flashback, help Mr. Wizard!

[@ThunderAppeal]

@@robertrichard6107 You sound like you know too much. The FBI will be knocking on your door soon. But it wont be because you know too much, its just that you remember.

You you tell things just the way they are. I love listening to you I have a lot of respect and joy and happiness for you and all your family and good night Oliver. Night my friend.

[@kevinmchardy4379]

Sigh. Found this at 0130 AM.... there goes my sleep tonight.

[@guileniam]

Ah man if only John Milius could still speak in public, seriously get Oliver Stone and Milius together and watch the sparks fly, they have the greatest raconteur by filmmakers in history (an irreplacable knowledge of history and politics and film and experience of movies in their revolutionary heyday). It blows your mind.

[@guileniam]

Have to say the first Conan is a masterpiece, cmon Oliver Basil poledouris' music alone is amongst the top 3 greatest film scores of all time.

Funny the interviewers when they're naming his film credits, they never mention/include: "Salvador?"...and that's the one that put him on the "map" as a director!🤔 it also got James Woods an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

newspapers are not allowed in our home except for starting a fire, there are no news programs allowed also, with the total agreement of my children, it all stopped when my boy at 4 years old came running into the baby room screaming in fear they are bombing America, he saw a newspaper at the newsagent & wanted to know what is a man raped a little baby on the front cover, my children get all the news themselves & even I find out the news through other people, none that I worry about unless it somehow causes me concern

[@joylove8693]

Salute to Oliver Stone who is the best movie director in human history.

[@vlad10100]

Who is the one he mentions at 31:31??

[@mella751]

Hey wait a minute I think I was here! Tickets were sold out I bought one for an Adam Sandler movie instead watched abt five minutes of it thot WTH went upstairs and (whispers) snuck in. Or no it was a screening of Platoon. I used to watch Platoon CONSTANTLY as an 18 yr old college kid in Chicago I had a mad crush on Kevin Dillon talked about him constantly. At this screening I remember security was on a presidential level practically this big guy was walking toward me I was scared shitless thot I had gotten caught ultimately he passed me I can't tell you my relief I could feel my heart slowing way down literally

[@alienanxiety]

What a fuck up @ 6:17 including a clip from Evita in an Oliver Stone retrospective. Sure, he co-wrote it, but when you have a canon of films he directed, they could have just stuck to the Stone films proper.

[@thebanffcentre]

Hi alienanxiety, thanks for your feedback. You're right, Oliver Stone has countless fantastic films in his portfolio. We worked closely with him to develop this piece and decide how to represent his work. In fact he provided us with the clip from Evita!

[@christopheraparicio4482]

+alienanxiety The same can be said for Scarface.

[@glens18account]

[@eaton55r]

It seems to me we have become a bully who thinks, 'I am a Hero... Who else wants to challenge ME!'

[@VonL]

Stone now looks at Steve Bannon & asks himself, “why him & not me.”

[@scottspencer6899]

Huh?

[@danzan6951]

Stone, in all of his interviews, sees problems in many areas to be resolved. However, Stone never deals adequately with the problem of the high leverage rates in the big banks as a major part of resolving the nation's problems. Wish that he could get there in some way. Wars have to continue insuring the US dollar is maintained as the worlds reserve currency.

[@orobenayce2371]

All the attacks against him after JFK made me feel like he was heading in the right direction.

[@SimonAshworthWood]

I prefer realistic violence in films. I don't like cartoonish violence for the same reasons that I don't like violence cartoons. That sort of violence distracts me from being immersed in a show, because I know it's unrealistic.

Tradução de comentário crítico sobre a obra de Oliver Stone até 1989, escrito por Geoff Andrew: magiadoreal.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-film-handbook213-oliver-stone.html

[@redforman1256]

Sometime during the Kennedy era. JFK signed into effect the TVA act. Putting the nails in the coffin of hopes my family had of getting land. The family reached out to a distant relative named George C. Wallace of Albama. We do believe George had a talk with JFK inn Muscle Shoals but it fell on deaf ears! Sometime after that JFK publicly humiliated George C. Wallace. My family had 300 acers of land that was taken illegally by the government in Land Between The Lakes! Our family wanted retribution

When in walks Oswald. Mac immedeately stands up and walks toward the door. Oswald inquisitively asking what are you doing here? Mac punched him across the face. Oswald went down and by the time he woke up, Mac had told someone "There's a man up there with a gun" And the fatal shots had been fired! Mac did run to my Great Uncles position at the grassy knoll with a gardening bagin hand. As Mac was running he held the bag open.

[@redforman1256]

My Great Uncle slipped the gun into the bag and out of sight of the stunned public! The two men then walked to the car then Mac drove to pick up my Cousin. As Mac drove away from the scene of the crime he told the others what had happend.

[@dixxjamm]

It's such a pity that after Alexander (which despite its flaws, was a wonderful effort), Stone's movies went downhill (possible exception: "W"), because he is fascinating to listen to. He should stick to documentaries, books and interviews. He reminds me of George Carlin, and I have a feeling he'll go just like Carlin did, uncompromisingly and intelligently shouting his views until the last minute with a foot in his grave.

[@bemaniac2]

He is very short with people sometimes is he not! lol

[@robertrichard6107]

He understands the loaded questions better than the askers so well that, he has to choose a point where that should frankly be enough.

Oliver will you ever tell the real truth about who really inspired the platoon movie back in 1976 in NYC It was PFC Dingle who wrote "I've served my time in hell" & served in a real Bravo co 2nd platoon. The real truth had to be concealed in order to make platoon. If Dingle had not written his grunt's eye view of the Vietnam war there would've not been a movie called platoon.You know it,but the world doesn't know it. The platoongate will make a great movie,but it will never happen.
