Director Oliver Stone told The New York Times in an interview published Monday that Hollywood has become "too fragile, too sensitive," with the 73-year-old adding, "You cant make a film without a sensitivity counselor."
The perspective from Stone, who is responsible for "Wall Street," "Born on the Fourth of July" and "JFK," comes ahead of his upcoming memoir, "Chasing the Light."
"Everything has become too fragile, too sensitive. Hollywood now you cant make a film without a Covid adviser. You cant make a film without a sensitivity counselor. Its ridiculous," Stone told the Times.
"Its politically correct [expletive], and its not a world Im anxious to run out into," Stone added. "Ive never seen it quite mad like this. Its like an 'Alice in Wonderland' tea party.

Now THAT’S funny
the fault in our stars..
you will lose all respect, if you had any, for me :)
it’s a romance between 2 teens who have cancer
William defoe was great in it. wasn’t in a lot but great when he was
now bury this post
Your post just confirmed my gut feeling to stay away from that movie. Most of that genre is not for me. In a book, maybe, but rarely on film.
Let those who like movies such as SAW patronize Steven King’s It.
So is ollie making a docudrama about shawn ‘talcum X’ king or something? Maybe a docudrama about a half chinese wounded combat vet impersonating a US senator. Maybe cast tina fey in the lead role? Hey ollie———phu cough! Even though he’s right on this account.
Schadenfreude alert-people like Oliver Stone were all in with trashing conservatives at every opportunity for decades-his whining has me howling with glee...
Ah those were the days when Oliver Stone was considered a far left liberal.....
Ill check it out and will destroy post
That ‘Fault -Stars’ was a very good movie.
I would never have seen it, but I went looking for something with actors I didn’t already know.
I was surprised at how deeply this movie effected me, even though I knew how it would end. That’s what good actors and characters you now care about can do.
This came out in 2014.
Same year as NOAH with Russell Crowe. I did not really like this movie, and left midway through.
> ... I hate to be in agreement with him on anything, though I suppose I can say he is finally in agreement with me. <
Regarding Oliver Stone, perhaps with age comes wisdom. Although since hes 73, it took him long enough.
because noah was left wing nature worshiping ####
man does not have domain...is what the movie was saying
they’re wrong
and yeah it was a really good movie!!
i won’t mention the ending here in case anybody reads lol what are the odds?
but i was surprised.
i protected a 40 machine vending route from the 5 families in NYC in my 20s so I have nothing left to prove at 52
i cried at some scenes. We Italians are emotional :)
...and my uncle who is deceased now was pretty powerful and got me out of a bunch of jams when i had the route :)
ciao!
I know right? You this this a lot lately. I call it getting "foisted by your own retards."
IT IS about shutting up opposing views.
he is soooo very right.
Well Mr. Stone/ You seem to be a renegade......don’t seek to do what they say.........JUST DO IT (I’m sure you support them). Quit bellyaching about it!!
These are your fellow travelers Ollie, just carried out to its logical end.
No complaining now, just watch what you helped create grow and destroy whatever it can, including you.
With the movie theatres completely destroyed and the streaming services doing to film what they did to music, your days are numbered bub. Good luck finding investors for anything but Chinese propaganda, the market value of your product is less than a dollar.
You earned it. Now eat it.
