Channel 5 Movie Premiere - Interview with Oliver Stone - Sat 8th Nov 1997

[chifour66]

Hey, Oliver Stone, you lying piece of human detrious, Lorena Bobbitt, OJ, and half the things you are referencing hadn't even occurred yet in 1992. You can tell when you are watching this movie where the good Tarantino parts are and the shitty Stone parts. No wonder Tarantino wants no part of it.

@chifour66 Stupid comment. You forgot your brain near the copy machine.

Hey at 1.27 he says a word i can't make out what it is, just after he says repeating it and repeating it until it became.....(missing word) in their minds.

Sorry for the weird request just wanted to use the quote in an essay im writing, anyone can help at all? xxx thanks xxx

@maiziemoo22  "...until it became a motto".

[dixxjamm]

Listen to what this guy says and then think of Inglorious Basterds, among other Tarantino films, and you will find an explanation for Tarantino's frustration with what Stone did with his screenplay...these 2 people have very different views on life and filmmaking...Stone is an adult who thinks and feels and asks questions, while Tarantino is a teenager exploring his fantasies...a matter of taste perhaps what you prefer but I'm no longer a teenager so.....

@dixxjamm Great piece. You nailed it!

[townsjim]

why did he say he made it in 1992? it was made in 94

[tmamone83]

@townsjim Well it took 11 months to edit, so maybe he shot the movie a couple years before it was released.

Great interview

[hivernales]

As Oliver Stone points out, Tarantino took the money for that script... And he was very critical of a movie that he had not seen!

"NBK" is technically brilliant but much too violent for the audience to digest. The controversy over Stone's goal, however, was ludicrous. He did not glorify violence, he condemned it as well as the exploitation of violence by the media, especially TV. Life does not imitate art, it's the other way round!

I always thought this interview petered out, but looking back on it now, Stone seems genuinely emotional at the end.

[welshfilmbuff]

I remember this well! NBK was still unavailable on video at the time, because the BBFC decided not to grant it a certificate after the Dunblane massacre. A friend taped this for me (as I didn't have Sky and only certain parts of the Valleys could (can) get Channel 5) and he foolishly recorded it with VideoPlus, so it stoped before the end of the film (Wayne Gale's outcome). That "friend" isn't one anymore, I can tell you :)

[FigurinItOut]

I like Oliver Stone as a director, but hated NBK. Nice to see that Quentin Tarantino (original writer of NBK) concurs.
