| Oliver Stone: Most War Movies Are klingon-Approved ‘Bullsh*t' |
| 2016-09-08 |
| [Breitbart] Director Oliver Stone opened up about his forthcoming Edward Snowden biopic Snowden in a recent interview, and called most Hollywood war movies "bullsh*t" -- thanks to the CIA. "What you’re seeing is bullsh*t. And a lot of the war pictures you see, you don’t get, you know, you get it after the Pentagon has sanitized it. And they lie. They lie. As long as it is pro-American, that’s all that matters," the three-time Oscar-winner said during an August 26 interview at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television. Stone says "the Pentagon has taken over. CIA has taken over Hollywood in that sense." Only Hollywood ? Moving to closing paras: During the Q&A, Stone also praised GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, who filmed scenes for the director’s 1987 classic Wall Street that were ultimately cut out of the finished film. "He was good," Stone said of the real estate magnate. "I have no complaint. . . I talked to him, and he’s a charming man in person. As an actor, he was stunning." Last month, Breitbart News reported that Edward Snowden plans to appear live in U.S. theaters via satellite alongside Stone for a special one-night event ahead of the highly anticipated biopic premiere. Snowden hits theaters on September 16, and also stars Shailene Woodley, Zachary Quinto, Scott Eastwood and Nicolas Cage. The film makes its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9. |

| #3 He's a marxist blinded by ideology. Some war movies lean pro-American and do well at the box office as a result. Others lean anti-American and sink at the box office. CIA has nothing to do with supply and demand. In fact a smart person without ideology could have made a fortune churning out low budget pro-American war movies the last 15 years. |

| #2 As long as it is pro-American, that’s all that matters As opposed to your list of Anti-American films? How'd all those Anti-War Anti-American films do during the Bush administration? How well did American Sniper do? Even for the American hating Hollyweird, they can read the bottom line. Why don't you go to Chinese financing for your movies. Cause if you're going to make a movie rather than art, it has to sell to the rubes. |
