Oliver Stone is the man. the deeply engaged film-maker of our times, there's still no-one like him on the hollywood circuit and it's a shame he isn't credited more with his consistent and passionate inquisition of things that really matter. he should go down as one of the hollywood greats.

[PhilosopherSY]

A fine man whose mighty brain is matched only by his mighty heart. The irredeemable vulgarians who brand him "anti-American" only betray their deep totalitarian instincts: Such language is the preserve of a closed tyranny where dissidents are Enemies of the People. The apolitical equanimity of Hollywood is fast coming to a close with great directors and actors like Clooney and Matt Damon taking a principled stand against the grand folly of militarism. May this trend continue and flourish.

"Sometimes people sort of glaze over about the notion that the Mafia and U.S. intelligence and the anti-Castro activists were involved together in the assassination of President Kennedy. In fact, there's no contradiction there. Those three groups were all in bed together at the time and had been for several years in the fight to topple Fidel Castro." --Anthony Summers, journalist and assassination researcher, interviewed by Bill Curtis for the cable TV program, Investigative Reports

This man reminds me of Marlon Brando. Very smart and deep guy. All the interviews with him are interesting.

Anyone who has such a narrow mind as denbar and gusjet1 are plain idiots. Poor America. Once the land of the brave, now the country of the stupid and the ignorant.

[denbar]

If anyone had the IQ of a rock they would know what Oliver Stone stands for. He is one of many in this country who hate's it. He is about bring this country down. He hate's America and all it stands for. Let's face it Mr Stone is a communist

[gusjet1]

Anyone who defends Hugo Chavez is an idiot. Oliver Stone and some of the most stupid people in Hollywood have suddenly come out to defend this dictator and communist. Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Oliver Stone. They just should go live in glorious Venezuela and get the fuck out of the United States. They are traitors and deserve to be living where they think it is so great. He poses as an intellectual , but he is just a traitor and a communist. we've seen his kind before. You scum bag.
