When I was a child, I'd see a movie, I took it for what it was, I enjoyed it. And if I believed it I would tend to be more interested in knowing more about it.

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.

Oliver Stone
Image
There is nothing inherently wrong with greed as a human motivator - greed motivating evolution. But there's a huge disconnect between the classes. It is very demoralizing to work for someone who makes a billion dollars a year while you make just barely enough to make it.

We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over.
Oliver Stone

My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.
Oliver Stone
Image
We all know what we know. We experience with our minds and breath.

Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.

In any film there's always a historical implication.
