In Reply to: RE: What do you thnk of Oliver Stone? posted by RedGrant on July 25, 2011 at 14:32:15
Stone has a strong, compelling visual style and great personal conviction, and he's gotten some fabulous performances from his actors. But sometimes he's just too belabored and over the top. A failure of proportion, not conviction. I would certainly rate his talent as being of a higher order than Madonna's.
Salvadore is probably my favorite. I also have a fondness for Wall Street. Natural Born Killers is brilliant, but repellent.
I never saw Alexander through to the end and I don't much like Born On The Fourth of July, The Doors or Wallstreet Never Sleeps. The presidential trilogy, W, Nixon and Jfk are entretaining - not necessarily accurate, but fun to watch.

I agree.
"But sometimes he's just too belabored and over the top."
A shining example of that would be that football movie with Jaimee Fox, with that scene with all those big screen TVs showing the chariot scene from 'Ben-Hur' in that big room.
"I would certainly rate his talent as being of a higher order than Madonna's."
At least, she's honest about her weirdness.
But I did like 'the 4th of July'.
***I would certainly rate his talent as being of a higher order than Madonna's.
I have two or three Madonna's songs on my iPod, but I have no Stone films in my library.
