In any film there's always a historical implication.
Oliver Stone
Image
I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.

I do have a side as a citizen, and I've always expressed it, and that's where I've gotten into misunderstandings, because some people see me as a leftist nut or whatever. A conspiracy nut. All that stuff. These are definitions that don't really apply to a dramatist, because a dramatist is working from empathy.

By creating false environment of a war on drugs, and cruel and unusual punishment with these crimes, 50% of our U.S. population is in jail without having hurt anybody, mostly for drugs.

A lot of the good cameraman who we used are doing television work they're doing commercials for a lot of money. And the commercials look incredible. But what's it about? I made three major commercial campaigns. I enjoyed it, I experimented with it, and at the end of the day I felt no satisfaction. It was like having a fast food lunch.
Oliver Stone
Image
I see films in theaters, and I enjoy films. I enjoy the art of storytelling, and the different ways to tell them.
Oliver Stone
Image
I believe in intermissions. I lived through this experience with JFK and Nixon. JFK should have had an intermission. It should have come right after the Donald Sutherland scene, because then there's just too much information flooding in. You need a break. Same on Nixon. It was a long film, but I couldn't help it, with that kind of subject.

What I've experienced, I'm trying to put in a narrative form, I suppose, to say that it does make sense in this way.
Oliver Stone

I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me people over 45.

Pat Nixon was called the Mona Lisa of American politics. She never wrote anything. Her interviews tell us nothing.
