    Wonderful human being, love him, best American I know, who else is that alive?! Do these students know how lucky they are to experience Oliver Stone in person? He is so aware of history, talks about that battle in Vietnam as if it was yesterday. And fully in the present at the same time. He will turn 70 on September 15. What a life he has had! Full of admiration, ever since I knew of him (JFK, 1992). Courageous like hardly any other director. In spite of massive resistance, character assassination and criticism to no end. A role model. Thanks fo much for posting this interview!

      i agree 100%....he is a GIANT! sure look at the "Putin Interviews"....fantastic...yet in the West...hes being VILIFIED just for being truthful and showing a different perspective that goes against the bullshit narrative. a truly REMARKABLE man and a massive loss when he leaves us...

      No.They have no idea how lucky they are. I'm suprised Oliver Stone would even entertain speaking at Oxford University. These are the people who will send more poor people to war when it services their needs in the future. I know Oliver Stone wasn't exactly impoverished when he went to war but these people are brainwashed elite. I do like the little 'dis' at 16:32 though.

    A remarkable American indeed, as well as a major artist and a true intellectual. His French-born mother’s culture and sensibility clearly helped him soon analyze what’s happening around the Globe from more than one single viewpoint. That’s why I never miss these master classes of his, beside his various cinematic achievements. Full respect. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏

As a vietnam era conscripted veteran serving this country during a difficult time I'm proud to be associated with all vietnam vets who served their country honorably. Some made it and some didn't but all were dedicated to saving their brothers and sisters lives unconditionally and Oliver Stone is living proof of that and he should always be praised for his unselfish service to his country and fellow man.

    Oliver, I too am a Virgo that must know all things relative to history and our role in it. I was raised conservative and was a registered Republican until 30+ years ago and now an Independent. I have been battling the “establishment” since 1968. My days are spent researching, studying, understanding and vetting all things. Note that I loathe all politicians in equal measure with the exception of a handful. My quest to find certain truths afforded me “sit downs” with 2 Mafia (La Cosa Nostra) bosses to get answers on Kennedy’s death to include others. I appreciate your efforts on sharing the truths that most do not want to know.

      @@palmbchr I have to be painfully honest that I didnt like much of his work when I was younger, the main reason for that was because I had too many friends who loved to entangle themselves in conspiracy theories. Stones movies didnt necessarily play in to those theories, the worst one can accuse Stone of was throwing conventional wisdom of the time in to question. But the nutty friends I had tried to take the questions Stone posed to another level and that was a level I was unwilling to go. Their collective abject stupidity unfortunately poisoned my mind and I pulled far and away from anything that resembled that, for my own sake.
      The only way to appreciate Oliver Stone is with an objective mind.

    In 1990 Kevin Costner was offered the lead in a film that needed a big star to get the studio financing, but Costner turned it down because he had been working three years straight and needed a break. Costner's wife, Cindy Silva, read the script and realized its importance and told her husband, "This film has to be made." The film was JFK by Oliver Stone. Thank you, Cindy Silva.

    This is the second interview I have seen with Oliver Stone, he has a wonderful voice and has clearly experienced more in his life than the average man could claim. He has a very relaxed and decentralised view of the world, which in these times of propaganda from many different nations, is a breath of fresh air.
    I prey that more men like him would help to shape our world, which has clearly crossed the line and is in dire need of reform.

    I was in the army after Viet Nam and all of the Vietnam veterans I ever talked to, were very dismal about Vietnam war.
    They told me that young energetic soldiers, officers especially, who had a very energetic enthusiasm about fighting in the war,
    had a complete change of heart within a month.
    A major who had been there in the thick of it told me they weren't trying to win the war.
    A common expression of these veterans is, "I just wanted to my time and get the XXXX out of there."
    11:15 That's exactly what a German told me about World War 2 when I was stationed in Germany.
    He said German soldiers who came back from the Russian front in 41 and 42, because of the loss an arm or a leg,
    were telling their neighbors and relatives, "Battle after battle is being won,
    but the Russians just keep on coming and not only that, they're very obstinate."
