A great interview.

"Wall Street" pays homage to Oliver Stone's talent and prescience, no matter what hateful hard liners say about him.

Remember, America was once a land of opportunity for huddled masses desirous to climb up the social ladder. There's nothing bad in condemning the excesses that ruined so many middle class people .

"Wall Street" did not glorify greed. It was just a picture of what was going on in Wall Street in the 80's. Oliver Stone covers his time smartly.

I wouldn´t put rich greedy people in the same category of people who earn a lot of money as a consequence of being talented. Oliver Stone isn´t criticising individual entrepreneurs who through good business practice find success. He is criticising international corporations that exploit resources without regard to the consequences and whose only motive is to make profits for shareholders with total disregard to environments, communities, economies, etc. You´re misrepresenting their argument.

Oliver, Your OCDisorder against the U.S. in your mediocre films is proof how mighty this country is.Long after your gone,the U.S. will remain the one country everyone in the world wants to emigrate to. So, Fuck You.

How old are you? Anyone who uses the word "communist" and hasn't live during the 1950s is a complete shit-twit.

[BigBadSeattleLad]

In his zeal to seek out and - in short order - lend grossly undeserved credence to some of the cruelist, most oppressive characters on the world stage, Oliver Stone is betraying his craft, his country, and the spirit of those individuals worldwide who died in the pursuit of freedom under tyranical rulers. To the great dismay of artists with a conscience worldwide, Stone has now become perhaps the most 'useful' of the world's useful idiot contingent...

[BULLD0GBIANSKI]

It's funny how multi-millionaires like him and Michael Moore always put down people who show an eagerness to make money as if they're greedy dirtbags. These guys have more money than some small countries and are never challenged for their hypocrisy by these left-wing "media" outlets like the New York Times.

why doesnt he say he is a communist and get it over with
