Oliver Stone is a very sincere, humble and rational man, we need more " Oliver Stone" , bless him.
Joy Love Not America but the Government and President at that time the war was not called for
Oliver stone is man who would have felt at home in ancient Greece its sad that men and women today have no stomach for asking important questions and are choosing a fantasy world when reality and the truth are by far more amazing.
Oliver Stone’s been on my radar for decades for his movies. It’s so good to find out more about him and his life. A great man.
Oliver Stone is the definition of a true Patriot #🇺🇸

Funny in this interview
The duty of a patriot is to protect the people from its government.
Edward Abbey
Sneddly Butler....any mention?
@@day-goneknights4464
Nope
Ol Smedley fought in wars to oppress people. Not much to see there.
Good interviewer and good questions. Oliver Stone is a great American filmmaker and is on the right side of history.
He is the type of person that reads history and encourages people to do so, though not in words by saying that but by actions and movies. IMHO he is convinced that if more people read world history, we wouldn't be condemned to see how it repeats itself.
I have read the history of the Roman Empire and it amazes me how similar the US is to ancient Rome.
My father told me once: history is nothing but the repetition of human stupidity.
@Alberto Palma *Homo ‘sapiens’?!? …No, Homo DEMENS!!! Definitely most doomed species ever.
Right side of history... is that why he felt it necessary to pack his JFK movie with over 80 *demonstrable* lies?
I could listen to Oliver Stone all day
An American treasure, absolutely awesome. A great human being.
A favourite of mine certainly.
I listen to a lot of commentary on subjects that interest me and I find myself being perplexed by the ignorance and institutionalised jingoism playout by mainstream media and is so fully absorbed as fact by the public.
People like Oliver Stone is a true man of intellect and passion,I thank the gods that such men still exist.
REMAIN EDUCATED
Nicely said
Thanks
Common sense remains degree free.
oliver stone is a dazzling commentator and interviewee. really will I think be remembered as one of America's great thinkers.
i don't know about a great thinker, but he is honest and has a lot of integrity and honesty ... patient and intelligent. He is unconventional and free thinker.
Except, now he's saying JFK "the movie" was fairly accurate, which is quite different to what he said when criticised way back then?
He should be, but he's not beneath using the work of NYU students without their consent or remuneration.

Very few people seem as fascinating as Oliver Stone. So much unique life experience and perspective in him.
“Your dead johney.” Quote from Oliver Stone after he snuck up on Johney Depp who was supposed to be keeping watch but fell asleep while on guard duty, at the base camp, during the filming of platoon.
Not only is Oliver an amazing talent and artist but to engage the world at this level while successfully sustaining attacks to his credibility just brilliant.
Artistic, historical, Visionary...all in one....
lo siento no me ha entendido es que yo me llamo INMA
y soy una mujer, hablo por mi, nada mas lejos que atacarle ael, eso no fue mi intenion en ningun momento, yo le defiendo y si no vean videos suyos en CBS morning
He’s done a great deal but you have to wonder about a guy this successful in Hollywood…they don’t tolerate true opposition. And he has to champion climate change…?
Well many less talented than he are likely resentful and so if he is any less than perfect he lacks credibility? Meanwhile always consider the source of the accusations and how credible are they themselves?
thanks to everyone who helped make this amazing interview !
What greatness, he possesses, so many virtues
Oliver Stone is a national Treasure ! Eyes open Wide . I would love to talk to him . Great mind .
I saw Oliver Stone's "Untold History of the United States" about 20 times!! It is deserving of the highest praise and honors for excellence and truth about a government that is the exact opposite of those!
The book is outstanding and an excellent reference book.
such a pleasure to listen to smart people, need to watch the films.
I still remember Salvador. Great movie. Oliver Stone has always been on the right side of issues.
Maybe you meant the Left Side of History.
@Jane Elliot, Jr.You are correct. Sometimes the Left is Wrong. I think Oliver Stone unlike some other Liberal is the type who admit that they made a mistake. I live in New York. So called Bail Reform was and is a big mistake. You can't just let out dangerous Violent Crinot minals out on the Streets. Most of the Violent Spike in Crime is from letting out these dangerous Violent Criminals.
Defunding the Police is another stupid idea. We need honest Police to Stop Crime. Defunding the MIlitary or severely cutting the MIlitary that is a good Idea. Getting rid of the Police is a bad, stupid idea. There is LIberalism and there is real stupidity.
Stone is a great human being
Thank you, Mr. Stone, for being a seeker of truth & recording our shared U.S. history, so hopefully, we learn from our mistakes from the past. Your meticulous research, on your films is very much appreciated. And, yes, art does inspire, Sir.
Pamela Hays - Well said!..
Here is an American. While I am an ex-navy who was betrayed by his commander in chief (USS Liberty), this man is optimistic, he still believes in the people. Question is, with as many intelligent people there are just walking around out there, how did we wind up with a choice between hillery and trump?
"Choosing between two evils is still choosing evil". ~Jerry Garcia
Corruption and the fact that you do not live in a democracy.
@@ttrons2 Bingo!
Finally something that makes total sense is said.
Hmm so Trump is evil huh ? Care to explain ? I'm curious to know , for example when he ran out country , you know , the way a real , strong , patriotic man is supposed to , what kind of evil did he do as president ??
@@breakonthru7900 LOL, Where did I say evil? The entire system is corrupted! You are still stuck in their two party dungeon. Get a life!
I think I get what you’re saying. I emigrated to the USA from Mexico and I’ve never voted in my life.
It is always a pleasure and relief to listen to Oliver Stone recount his experiences with such honesty.
Btw, in the book he is referring to in 11:21 (about Vietnam) is "when heaven and earth changed places" by Le Ly Hayslip.
Outstanding.
Thanks
What a truly inspirational human being, gifted, wise and couragous, the best of Americans.
A very smart Man.
The true side of History.
I have always enjoyed oliver stone's films he has made Americans and the world challenge some long held beliefs and open are eyes wich can never be a bad thing.
Oliver Stone's life an works are amazing,he's a very interesting human being
I'd love for someone make a movie of Oliver Stones life an times from a young child on,for me Mr Stone is a great man an a True American
WE LOVE OUR OLIVER STONE!!
I will do it
I can listen to OLIVER STONE all day...a wealth of knowledge...this is what our children is not getting, knowledge...thank you Mr. Stone...Platoon-greatest war movie yet...i watch it atleast twice a year...
This interviewer on the other hand.... ouch.
Oliver Stone was a hero, a warrior on the battlefield and now a warrior for peace like his hero, JFK. He should have a Nobel price long time ago!..
Prize.
He’s a living legend ❤️🤘🇺🇸
Best interview I’ve witnessed
Oliver Stone in movie directing is like Pep Guardiola in football (soccer)... Brilliant and always wants more from his team of actors/players!
We cannot compare Oliver with no one or Pep cuz we don’t know about coaches or how others think about the west brain wash so many people Oliver never fall for the liberals media and the left trap,
The Doors made a real impression on me. OK, I was young in the world and I really did go to Paris and had quite some whisky at Jim Morrison's grave and still listen to the Doors. But I have seen the Untold history many dozens of times and for me Mr Stone is a great modern day western philosopher and humanist and I really listen to him and learn from him...
Good point and almost the same here. About music I listened to The Beatles instead but I listened to Stone, watch his movies and documentary ,and read his book that wrote together with Peter Kuznick. Excellent book!
Makes me proud to be an American again for just a few brief moments.........
Hello Mister Poutine,
And Thanks you very munch for the conversation.
You are Good Man.
One Friends.
☺livier
Oliver Stone is a great man
Oliver Stone is the Robert Fisk of the movie world.
I believe that he tells it how it is.
Fair play to him..
Respect maan!
👍🏻😎
Love this man!
what a man WHAT A MAN supper minded
Very interesting, knowledgeable man.
Is this the interviewer who knew Henry Wallace?
I remember seeing an oliver stone interview about the untold history of the USA and the guy interviewing oliver mentioned that he knew Henry Wallace, but I can't find it.
A brilliant performance
Hes a down to earth realist in everything he does and knows.
Fuck mainstream industries.
What an amazing n honest man may God always look after him n his family
i stand to/ with Herr Oliver Stone!
The edge of too much research is such a fine line. I love researching, but sometimes it gets away from me and I need to pause. I can overwhelm myself with information.
Tell me about it.
Boy, that interviewer's deep, resonant, stentorian voice! The very heavens shake!
Hosted by Radar from M.A.S.H.
I wasn't watching the Interview at first, just listening to it. I thought the Interviewer was a Woman. He has a very Feminine Voice like he is a Transsexual. Whatever. It is a good interview besides from that.
Just watched the intro and so far the host has got the titles of four projects incorrect.
That aside, this is an unusually thoughtful discussion with an unusually thoughtful filmmaker.
For Harry: Actually, the line, "He made me see the stars," was in Nixon, not Alexander. The White House cook Manolo says it to Nixon late one night in the kitchen of the WH when Nixon asks him why he cried when Kennedy was killed, why did he like Kennedy? Manolo replies, "He made me see the stars."
Fabulous. X
A ver yo lo que toco lo convierto en Oro y en Exito, estas bendecido Oliver, Suerte en la vida, te deseo lo mejor.
OLIVER STONE "HONEST" FILM MAKING THE OTHERS NOT SO MUCH....THANKS MAN AND THANKS FOR SERVING! HE VOLUNTEERED AS DID JESSE VENTURA, GEORGE NOORY ETC. TO NAME A FEW!
What happened in Vietnam was a huge tragedy
Sandy Stark amen📠
What happened in Vietnam was a huge crime. Greed, madness and testosterone.
That the US-Deep-PR-State not seems to have learned anything is the only tragedy.
Not a tragedy, a crime.
The Super power slaughtered 3.5 millions Vietnamese destroyed Laos and Cambodia besides own lost of 60,000 plus own American soldiers and thousands more ended up injured physically and mentally to what end now uses Vietnam against China 🇨🇳 😅 and those in the graves on both sides must be ...
Couldn't they have found a more competent interviewer?
agree. he's been the host for a long long time. old same pattern. the show is aging with him. lol
Would love to see a meeting between Oliver Stone & John Cleese
interviewer voice is unendurable I couldn't finish listening
Yes, I agree, you can tell that Oliver was annoyed by his interruptions and his voice.
Yes, the guy was a moron
WOW tks Mr.Stone, I never knew JIM Morrison said before 'WestIsBest' there's some irony I just liked the music: and, the weather on the west of Ireland ain't that bad either!
Irony indeed.
'The west is the best.
Get here and we'll do the rest'.
@@markrymanowski719 Now tempting andall as that may sound to someone like me, the hoops tests & vaccines; nearly too go anywhere these days, were NEVER for me! There's irony in that & for one as unstructured aseye red tape and conflict I can do without? tyvm mile buiochas
Always love directors who excel at screen wriing. . Such an engaging guy I could listen to all night or you could watch some shlock put out by lightweight Zack Snyder
Donald Sutherland's role in 'JFK' as Mr. X was actually Fletcher Prouty per himself in another RUclips interview.
I admire the purity of his unbiased observations .. Obama was indeed a disappointment ...
Mr Hope and Change was focused on one goal..........49 acres in Martha's Vinyard as payment for his services.
That woman has a great mustache
😂🤣 thought that myself but you said it better! Cracked me up, Thanks, needed that laugh 😉⚘
People always skip over his French cultural side from his Mother and his time he spent as a boy in France.
His mother was French?
Oliver is Jim Morrison in disguise. Rock on Stone.
Yeah he might have some Shaman energy to him a sense of healing and poetry to his "art".
me alegra apoyar tu exitos Mr Stone. pero ahora tengo cosas que hacer, tengan cuidado ahi fuera
This man's voice is familiar to General George Patton of WW2 fame.
esta hablando de oliver o de enma????
Oh jeezus
Whoa I thought the interviewer was a woman when i listened to this without watching. Thats one high voice
Rose Anne Rosanna Dana syndrome. My wife has it too.
Dizzy Blu Sounds like Ron Paul
He should have tried singing
for a career.
Jon Anderson of Yes fame comes to mind.
23:26 Didn't know there were any Indian actors in "Platoon". A Vietnam Bollywood movie ??
A comic book reader ...... cool
Amazing even liberal Oliver Stone talk about the revisionist history in high school textbooks
The tone here is that the left is revising history?
Oh right:
......we didn't depend on slave labor
......we didn't hang black people for racial gratification
......we didn't depend on false flag wars
.......we didn't kill 100, 000 Phillipinos
.......and we didn't lose every war post WW II.
BTWay....you' be delighted to know that the largest buyer of text books gets to totally influence what goes into the text books for their state and....the rest of the country. And guess what state, because of this, gets to sculpt textbook info? That would be the epicenter of open thinking, compassion for underpriviledged, and exemplary govt mgt of state planning like the winter of 2020............Texas. You are secure, DL, in your appetite for visionless cruelty and the cleansing of history to polish the plantation based economy of the antebellum south.
Attaching that word to someone is to miss the point of their true character. Not everyone's beliefs can be labelled.
@@craighicksartwork what label? wtf are you talking about
@@deathlarsen7502 Liberal, you donut.
I think this interviewer has a DVD player!
I will say Yellowstone park is the savior of earth from the Warhawks and nuclear catastrophe
Ahora que aqui son las 5 de la mañana, me voy a hacer las tareas de la casa, luego hare algun curso de la universidad, y luego atendere a mis obligaciones que son muchas
I was listening but not watching the video while it played on my laptop and I swear I thought I was listening to the voice of a female interviewer.
That is what I said. I thought maybe the Interviewer is a Transsexual. Whatever.
@@HoldenNY22 +
Oh grow up, its fascinating that you harp on this, it's telling ( laughing ).
Haha BETA MALE !!
"'It is a prized American privilege to speak one's mind, although not always with perfect good taste, on all public institutions,’ [court opinion] and this opportunity is to be afforded for ‘vigorous advocacy’ no less than ‘abstract discussion.’…. Thus we consider this case against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials." New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 269-270 (1964).
Stone is brilliant. The interviewer is horrible.
I thought Truman Capote died
Less Harry.....more Oliver.....I do appreciate Harry's enthusiasm however !
It is very hard for moral tale to work as entertainment without pretentiousness
oliver stone is the master telling that type of story
But i think his movies or scripts have both side of effects
I am wondering if he works for illuminati
I like Stone. The only problem I have with him is that he didn't recognize Viet Nam for the genocide that it was based on nothing? See the book, "Kill Anything That Moves" at least Wiki it for testimonies by vets themselves. Prepare for a horror story rice farmers had to endure.
you're delusional dude I've heard him say it...
You are 100% right, kluaf oz. Oliver Stone had said several times, that 3-4 million people were killed in the Vietnam war by the american military. Terror is not unknown in USA,. The american military kills a lot of people every year. Now in Syria. Earlier in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Grenada, Somalia, Serbia, Kosowo, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Irak and some countries in Africa. USA is no more the land of the free. It is a country, who goes to war first and ask later. USA was popular from 1944 - 1963 (until JFK's dead). Today people all over the world really are afraid for the US. I do not know US today. Sorry to say so, but it is the thruth.
JFK assassination, 8 shots, Camera Gun, stopped Motorcade on Elm Street, Edited Zapruder film, umbrella man, 5 shooters. First shot from the umbrella man in front of Kennedy, misses Kennedy & hits the back seat of limo, everyone & Kennedy hears the shot, pauses, and proceeds. Second shot from the umbrella man hits Kennedy center mass at the bottom of the throat, from the front, Kennedy grabs his throat area then faints. Third & fourth shots fire close together at Connolly, from two shooter teams in the Texas School Book Depository. Both miss when the limo driver puts on the brakes, after Kennedy’s limo driver is instructed to stop on the mark of the man in the street near that driver. Those two missed shots fly by the top of The Presidential limo, one hits the windshield & the driver notices it, the other may be the one that grazes the young man down by the railroad underpass. The sniper teams in the Texas Book Depository, both shoot again at Connolly in the stopped Presidential limo, both hit Connolly this time. Then as the Presidential Motorcade is still stopped on Elm Street, and the Presidential limo driver is watching Kennedy’s unmoving Head. Kennedy’s Head is hit by the first bullet coming from his back & left, from the nearest bi standard to Kennedy, with a Camera Gun. Kennedy’s Body moves forward and to the right. Then very quickly afterwards Kennedy’s head is hit by a stronger shot from his front & right, from a rifle shooter standing behind the picket fence in the grassy knoll. Kennedy’s Body then moves back and to the left. When the Presidential limousine driver sees Kennedy’s head has been hit, he then quickly accelerates the limo with Mrs. Kennedy moving to get out of the limousine. A large group of Railroad Workers are standing on the railroad overpass nearer towards the picket fence area in the grassy knoll. And hear the rifle shot in close proximity, then see the lingering smoke from the Gun, then some of them move over to that area to investigate. As a large group of Parade watchers are sure they hear a shot from that area also, and Rush over to see & catch the perpetrator (s). As a group was watched moving from behind the picket fence gun shot area, to the Texas School Book Depository, And some were stopped & questioned by some of the Dallas Police Department. Shortly later, George. H. Bush happens to be photographed in front of the Book Depository, after emerging from there.
Bilbo Baggins
Yes. Regarding Vietnam, Reagan gave us an opportunity not to grow up.
Interesting man he has that semblance to decency and fairness, very casually puts the context of political narrative into a very definite perception, his character makes you think, challenges doubt. It's a type of easy you go away comfortable more knowledgeable. The movies were like that you knew you were watching something that mattered, remember the scene in the Turkish prison the fat assed father and son, its impact was callous indifference, sadistic pleasure, like father like son. As complex as that scene was in its psychological nature Stone delivered on every front. It's rare to convey that in a movie nowadays, Hitchcock could do it in his horror flicks and I like how he pulled the Bernie Sanders I have a Rabbitt in my political hat trick, I think Mr Stone is probably right as far as the Democrats go, I choose Trump and all I got was censored so congratulations America you will get your first female President once all the dust settles, the devil's in the detail were in for a hell of a ride, which is no big deal really as nothing much ever changes. Let's just hope Oliver makes more movies and fuck of all this censorship. Stay strong...
Oliver is nuts saying McNamara cares about Vietnamese, he created the gulf of Tonkin that created the war.
With 3.5 millions Vietnamese dead surely even if McNamara does not care but probably haunted by the victims of American brutalities.
If only he were President !!!!!!
quizas fui musa de muchos?????o fui escritora,???? no eso no se lo diré a ustedes. prefiero conservarme con vida
Terrible interviewer. They might as well have let Stone talk directly to the audience instead.
Typing coherent responses: it's a skill, try it.
Jim Battersbee I struggled with his voice pitch, . His questions weren't genuine sequiturs, he shared too much if his personal interpretations.
I love Oliver Stone but why does he always squeeze his nose in all his videos in his older age. 🤔
Coke is expensive.
@@markrymanowski719 ok that could be the reason 🤓
cuidense, que si no me enamoro otra vez, y putin se pondria celoso
Mr. Kreisler shares a voice with Mickey Mouse.
But he‘s not the leader of the club.
hihihihihiiiii what a voice wuahahahahahaaaaa
hala no hace falta que me manden a fregar ya me voy yo
At 01.01.50 What Oliver days of Obama could easily also be true of Trump.
When judging Oliver Stone's movie it's important to know that the Executive Producer of the movie "JFK" is Arnon Milchan, an Israeli arms dealer, responsible for the illegal importation of arms into Palestine. These weapons were used to ethnically cleanse Palestine of the original inhabitants so that European settlers could take over this strategic territory. It is rumored that he and several other members of the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service, along with the leadership of Israel at that time, were instrumental in setting up the murder of the 35th President of the United States! John Kennedy was an obstacle in the way of the Rothschild Family's desire to protect Israel with Nuclear Weapons. This is the reason that Israel denies having these weapons to this very day! Milchan was part of this conspiracy to steal Nuclear technology from the United States. Contamination of large parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey were the result of the mishandling of this material on it's way to Israel. Wholesale dealers in death and destruction don't much care how they do their dirty work as long as it gets done!
9/11
Yes indeed BUT at least oliver got the money to provide the truth.
Harry Kreisler is such a biased professor and terrible interviewer...
Kreisler was thoroughly familiar with Stone's work and was able to engage him at a detailed level; Stone seems to enjoy the conversation. I don't understand your criticism.
The interviewer is senile af
Okay, dwingrs, you're right actually.
You are senile too
