Maybe Oliver Stone doesn't lend himself well to remakes or sequels, because he does them so well the first time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.
As much as I hate his movies, Oliver Stone has an aspiration I admire, and that is that he wants his art to be part of what makes and changes public policy and cultural practice.
I'm a fan of Oliver Stone. I like his movies, I like his excess, and I think he has a great capacity for empathy and it comes out more powerfully in this movie than in any of his other films, even the formal 'I'm identifying with the underdog' movies like 'Born on the Fourth of July.'
You don't want to remake something that's just been made, as an actor.
Personally, I'm not too fond of remakes.
Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?
I'm not a big fan of remakes. I never wanted to do a remake.
It's always that tricky thing with a remake, especially when it's something that's well loved. You're coming to something that has a built-in fascination, but with that comes people ready to feel disgruntled that it's being remade at all.
I often wonder why people remake movies. Is there just a lack of imagination out there that they can't come up with an original idea?
I don't think it's sacrilegious to remake any movie, including a good or even great movie.
