Conversations with History: Oliver Stone

[@mengutimur]

Gotta love Oliver Stone.

[@JimmySteller]

I love Oliver Stone's films. He's without a doubt my favourite director.

[@annalisavajda252]

He's so bold. Tarantino was just Weinsteins bitch compared to Stone the balls on him my goodness.

[@ToxicMayo9]

Its true that Stone has released more than a few bombs over the years, however he is still one of the best living directors.

[@millergael7665]

Instablaster

[@DanielMazahreh]

All of his films were brilliant. It’s all about quality. How much a movie makes is irrelevant.

[@marcocroninconte]

So eloquent and an amazing intellect. He's the Homer or Socrates of our times. The way he is framed in the media is disgraceful. Comparative to Orson Welles. A braver filmmaker than the likes of Scorsese, Spielberg etc.

[@jerryhamilton1793]

I just now saw this I wish I could have seen this 30 years ago. I spent a year in Vietnam and this will help me look at the truth. Thanks

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Love Oliver Stone's movies

[@annalisavajda252]

He's Americana in itself now I think.

[@gabel13]

this dudes a genius

[@Joe-of1ob]

anyone that breaks out of the matrix has a strong mind. it is so hard to do. im thankful for mediums like this and people like Oliver Stone that are not afraid to speak their truths

[@Joe-of1ob]

Such an intellectual exposition of his era and the president's that he grew up with.

[@barbarabrown5056]

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO UNCOVER WHAT THEY COVERED UP SO WELL.

[@assbeat13]

where can i get the soundtrack to this show, oh my god, i love those keyboards!!!!

[@smurrayhead]

Good point about Ace Ventura..

[@Guitarron28]

Oliver Stones' movies are in a sense conversations with history, as spoken in this interview; but when you examine most of his movies, a current theme is a loss of innocence, and moreover, modern tragedies that strike a chord in the heart of those that are willing to watch his movies without a severe critical eye..born on the fourth of july and the story of Ron Kovic is great and the only film that gives evidence of great acting by Tom Cruise...only my opinion

[@annalisavajda252]

Well that is what he discussed about being raised with perceptions about how life is vs reality of how life is particularly with trauma which is more than a loss of innocence and being naive it kills a part of a person sometimes they have to grieve the loss of their own life and identity too. Some soldiers come back from war and they are never the same after what they experience and witness and people who knew them still talk to them as if they are the same because they still have those perceptions so then the soldier feels alone because they know even friends and family don't really know them anymore since who they were no longer exists. Stone obviously was not completely debilitated as some are the creative outlet probably helped him he's being authentic but he layers it in drama to make it more palpable for most.

[@Guitarron28]

I appreciated his acting in both Rain Man and Magnolia; in fact Magnolia was very impressive; but perhaps it was what the subject matter entailed with born of the 4th of july that gave it more weight..in my opinion ("in my opinion" is the key phrase; I'm not stating it as fact...and you what is really funny..I cannot recall making that particular judgement on here, until I looked at the comment again)

[@agentike2]

kind of a prophetic comment on Alexander

[@DMalltheway]

Rank: 1. Platoon 2. Born on the Fourth of July 3. JFK 4. Nixon 5. Salvador 6. Wall Street 7. Natural Born Killers 8. Talk Radio 9. Heaven and Earth 10. Any Given Sunday

[@JimmySteller]

When did Stone make this interview?

[@blackstonpoetrymusic8744]

I've watched a lot of Oliver Stone interviews and I've never seen him look this irritated.

[@annalisavajda252]

Well he's talking about perception and using our senses many people lack that he's not speaking the same language he can't dumb it down and many resent having to make the effort to comprehend him.

[@tacomadavid68]

I know it says it was shot it 97 but it looks more like 77..

[@DanielMazahreh]

It looks late 90s to me.

[@xavierpaquin]

Love the theme

[@Sophie_kent]

Oliver Stone should make a Shakespeare movie. Perhaps Julius Caesar.

[@Dartagnan10]

Mi director predilecto, y vaya mi admiración por vos. You are great !!!!

[@JimmySteller]

He said he was close with Ron Kovic until recently. Why, did Kovic die? I haven't heard that he's dead.

[@wolf69a]

You can espect that from O'reilly but from O Stone is realy surprising me (escuse mi bad english)

[@soldier1661]

Based on this interview of course

[@josephtraficanti689]

Stone wants to avoid how the magic bullet made the two bullet holes in the presidential limo windshield. That is one amazing bullet.

[@lucianaponzo1407]

Caro Olive , ti o sempre ammirato come uomo, e per tutte le cose che hai fatto , anche tutte le interviste che hai avuto con Putin, persona che io stimo molto , un 😘 ☺

[@03coi]

dude but i love platoon... great movie

[@catbuffalo]

13:15 that's why i'm watching this

[@conradguiney8068]

rain man surely?

[@achrisofalltrades5620]

Theme music brought to you today, by... Nintendo NES

[@Hansprivate]

Harry Kreisler forgot The Doors and Talk Radio.

[@marlenyecheverria]

totally agree.

[@alnilam2151]

"Catharsis". "Asphyxic" similar just opposite

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

Actually, in the movie JFK, he's spot on! Use yur common sense ppl.

[@jasonpalth]

Oliver Stone is a real person?

[@josephtraficanti689]

Oliver seems to want to treat the JFK murder and Viet Nam as somehow separate. I know I don't think they are separate. When I watch this it will be interesting to see how separate he makes them look.

[@americangangster1911]

Have you seen JFK? If so I don't know how you would feel that way.

[@josephtraficanti689]

The Conversation with History was mostly about how to make a movie.

[@rd264]

that says alot about you.

[@anff]

Gr8

[@adzh111]

haha born in the usa 6:30 that really annoys stone

[@fearIfinch]

This looks way older than 1997 lol

[@blotto85]

in the deep future this will be viewed as our prophet from god.

[@ezcondition]

The Money Masters part 1

[@thedudeabides74]

Magnolia?

[@KELPacino]

Stones socks, hahahaha :)

[@rajkobjelica4905]

You suck .Hhlaha. Obvios moron .

[@Sophie_kent]

Oliver Stone is very hostile in this interview...he must have been going though a rough personal time..

[@DanielMazahreh]

I didn’t find him hostile at all.

[@koolkamel322]

I will be fully satisfied with Stone as soon as he apologizes for making The Doors

[@rajkobjelica4905]

Moron.

[@DanielMazahreh]

To be fair, The Doors is the only Oliver Stone film that I couldn’t finish & I feel bad for doing that.

[@gthbf1]

Oliver Stone is a genius but he has bad taste in socks

[@JUANCARLOS1931]

oliver stone-hugo chavez - josef stalin-pol pot the same shit!!

[@grov508]

All good people

[@RaMM0nE]

Nice socks ...

[@saxogrammaticus3917]

Oliver is awesome but a poor choice for interviewer

[@crocodilewerewolf]

interACTION.

[@zigdan]

[@lanser87]

Heh Heh!

[@JackKnight762]

Amerikkkakkka

[@jayray7230]

this guy seems crazy. not normal crazy, but charlie sheen crazy. ironic really

[@brandonjimenez902]

Anyone would be a little erratic coming back from Vietnam

[@wolf69a]

He should live in Venezuela without his millions of dolars and see the thrue storie, i wonder how many money Chavez paid him

[@rajkobjelica4905]

C.i.A. stooge. Say something constractive.

[@wolf69a]

@@rajkobjelica4905 Does the truth offend you? Clown

[@Camilo19832001]

the only movie i'll watch about vietnam war is we were soldiers. Oliver Stone's movies about vietnam were pure SHIT!

[@DanielMazahreh]

No, Oliver Stone’s Vietnam films are actually more realistic. You’re full of crap for supporting disgusting pro-war movies that glorify blind nationalism. Oliver Stone’s films have heart & it’s anti-war. War is wrong!

[@Camilo19832001]

constructive?.. ok... how about discussing stone's vietnam films... always taking sides... i hate that...

[@DanielMazahreh]

Vietnam war was illegal. USA massacred innocent Vietnamese families. These are documented facts!

[@soldier1661]

I agree with Oliver stones perspectives on a lot of political issues but he seems very argumentative and a little conceited

[@DanielMazahreh]

I didn’t see that in Stone.

[@Camilo19832001]

childlish? go watch it and compare them, THEN well talk.

[@Pfsif]

This guy doesn't have an ax to grind? Hypocrite!

[@sherrysmithperry8438]

Terrible interviewer
