Cannes 2021: Oliver Stone revisits 'JFK' • FRANCE 24 English 

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.

Thanks to Oliver Stone for continuing his search for the truth.

Stone has the courage, skill and creativity to pull it all together! Voices like his are much needed...especially now!

Never used to care about these things but Stone helps me to see why one should.

Huge respect for Oliver Stone. Good on him for making this documentary.

People called Oliver Stone a conspiracy theorist when the movie JFK came out. Given the political climate and antics today, he is owed a damned apology.

" There is a global perspective here. Too many americans looking inward and they stay inside the American bubble." Stone - He has the balls the call it like it is.

Oliver Stone deserves the gratitude of humanity for keeping this episode alive in our minds. Many people who were skeptical in 1991 when JFK came out have since come around to his view. The assassination was one of the most important events in all of US history, and THE most important since WWII. "Do not forget your dying king." Damned straight.

Watching JFK in 1991 on a huge screen in San Diego (sadly now demolished) changed my life. Thank you Mr.Stone.

Thanks, Oliver for bringing it forth

American Hero, Oliver Stone. Thank you, Sir.

Thank you Mr Stone for your work on never giving up on this conspiracy.

It should be renamed the Dulles Commission. Fired by Kennedy and hired by Johnson.

Oliver Stone is a great person. He always wants to tell us about the problems what we have around. Thank you, Mr. Stone for your art, your work and position!

He is absolute right.

Oliver is the conscience of America. Thanks!

Oliver Stone is the realist. The most legendary film director of all times.

Donald Sutherland's character "Mr. X" connects a lot of dots for Kevin Costner's Jim Garrison in JFK (1991). Mr. X is based on an actual historical figure, Colonel Fletcher Prouty. I assume Prouty was at least mentioned in this new documentary.

I find it rather ironic that after so many decades in the business, Oliver Stone's iconic films still hold up, often with equal amounts of intensity and truth, a hard thing to come by nowadays. Only recently, the government "promised" to give the American people all of the actual documents pertaining to Kennedy's assassination, exactly 60-years after the event occurred. Well, sixty years have come and gone, without a single word. That's why we critically need filmmakers like Ollie Stone.

All the respect for this man ,I am going to watch the documentary soon,Thanks for this interview

"Let justice be done though the heavens fall" we salute Mr Stone in his dedication to bring historical facts to light and in the process educate the masses !!!

I want the 4 hour version on blu ray.!

Oliver Stone seeks facts in this documentary about how the world and our nation lost a great man with sights on peace and justice. I was nine years old when this dramatic action occurred. It changed me at that age and it still resonates. America definitely needs to be shaken up and understand that it is about the global view. Kennedy was the last president who truly understood this and was making change. Heart-breaking still.

My nephew,my father & me in conversation about jfk,that spirit will never Die

the country has gone downhill since JFK's assination

What an amazing man.

Concise and excellent interview! Combines truth seeking & truth enhancing creative imagination with critical thinking & questioning of authority!

You gotta love the Interviewer's face when Oliver Stone talks about the fact that the CIA came up with the Psych Warfare term "Conspiracy Theorist" to shame people who tell the Truth about this case.. You can see her reviewing in her own mind how she used the exact same words herself in this presentation! Pure Gold!!

Should have had an interviewer that knows something about the assassination and could ask relevant questions in addition to smiling her pretty face!

So f’n accurate. Keep up the great work Oliver! Semper Fi

Just watched last night. Cant wait to watch the four hour version. Glad somebody made a doc featuring all the real researchers and their work.

Great man and my respect for him 🙏

Will this documentary be shown in theaters or directly VOD

Really looking forward to this and the four hour version especially!

Great man Oliver stone and his son is doing great work also 🙏 the world is waking up to everything…….❤️ praise God to that!

I’m happy you don’t let it go, Oliver. Neither do I.

Where can I watch this documentary?

When is the documentary coming out

Where can I find the footage at 5:32?

When will be able to see this ?

JFK is the greatest film ever. MUST SEE. Bravo Oliver Stone. "Courage is the virtue that makes all other virtues possible." Winston Churchill

Where can i see this please?

Stone is a great Film Maker. Cant wait for the the release. It would also be great if Stone could do a film about FDR, Churchill and Stalin during WW2

I deeply respect this MAN ❤️.

Great Oliver Stone!

I am of Irish ancestry and am proud of my Irish ancestry. We Irish are a tough group.

At the beginning she is standing exactly where I used to moor my yacht every year in Cannes... Such nostalgia...

Oliver Stone is such a cool and intelligent guy. I just love listening to him!

I saw it on the big screen in 1991. I was revitalized in the interest in JFK's assissination.

The ‘umbrella man’ standing at the very spot of the JFK assassination is worth looking into.

Whete can we watch it in Canada?

Oliver Stone is a great American ....more films please Oliver

Brilliant and so true. Hats off to you Sir. 👏🏽

Love to see this film.

Oliver is very intelligent man and an extremely brilliant film maker..

Interviewer calls first film "fiction". Just another pretty face.

Buy / Read : JFK vs Allen Dulles by Greg Poulgrain

Today still Robert F. Kennedy Jr is still pushing

Put it on DVD

The world, very likely, or not, would have been better than now if Kennedy had seen a second term. Actually, who knows? But it's my universe, isn't it?

Does anyone know when we will be able to see this Doc in the USA??

Been a long time since I rockin rolled, but still alive today to enjoy the music.

My father was one of his Bodyguard's when he came to Ireland.I realized years later I should have asked him about it😞

Thank you Oliver Stone.

Give me the 4 hour version right now please..

I don’t know why this little interviewer is barking down Oliver Stone’s neck? We love him and his truthful films! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🕊🌹💕✝️💜

Oliver Stone is the truth Set us free More great documentaries

Ive watched 1st JFK probably 50 times and every time i learn something new based on new info......it has tested time, to me, that's quality work..... does anyone know where can I download the revisited new jfk film?... can't find it anywhere :(...

Loved Alexander thank's

JFK is one of my favourite films.

5:35 - This is the point he is trying to explain ... since the JFK assassination no American President has crossed certain lines with respect to the military and the intelligence services. It would be interesting to see if he actually has a thing to say about that or if it was just a teaser to conspiracy theorists to draw in an audience and whip up interest.

I'm hoping to see this documentary someday. There's at least 5 other handheld 8mm films of the assassination besides the well-known Abraham Zapruder film. These films should be digitized and restored and released, hopefully for this documentary.

Nice to know Oliver is a 17 Patriot.

Notice the pineal gland/pinecone book ends on the set; I don't know if that's coincidental or planned, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Wow she blew the first question. Should have checked that one with Oliver Stone before she started ... tsk tsk tsk ... But she did recover well and this is a great interview. To the point ... well done.

Remember the scene in Casino, the gas station in Kanas, that sunk them all He had all the receipts.

Arlen Specter deserves a prominent place in the Lake of Fire.

I chose this topic years ago to pass my close protection course, after all my findings even then I was 100% convinced it had to be a conspiracy, but one question still remains I would like anyone to try and answer, now we know it is clear there were several shooters, possibly 4 or even 5, but this 1 question is this, to me clearly other shots to different parts of the bodies, seem normal bullets but the head shot to me had to be an exploding bullet because of the damage it did on impact, and clearly was designed to take half his head away, and it did, so how can no one see this, because to me it's very clear, that is what an exploding bullet does on impact, and was like, "you will not survive" that alone is without question a conspiracy, meaning more than 1 weapon is used, I also want to mention this, in my opinion all shooters bar 2 were different organisations involved, so who co-ordinated them ? make no mistake this was co-ordinated,

I honestly think, and it’s just my opinion, that the age of innocence in Politics died the day JFK was assassinated.

Jfk is a masterpiece,best Stone movie. Hopefully this documentary gets a phisicaly release late this year.

Bravo to Mr Stone

Thankyou Oliver Stone for telling the story 💕 😪 so very heart breaking! I hope we can stop these horrible people that have caused so much destruction in our country & our world. I am so grateful you created this for all to see.

I saw JFK when in came out and I have VHS on the film.....when I looked at the audience do you know what you are looking at.....and what did Allen Foster Dulles have to do with it.....?

voila non seulemtn un grand cineaste mais aussi un HUMANISTE ENGAGE a quand un cineaste francais avec une conscience politique.......

How insulting. "On the Trail of the Assassins" is the screenplay to JFK. She's obviously never read it.

Oliver Stone Legend 👍🏻

I've written a screenplay on plastic waste , staring Tom Hanks,Tom Cruise, Tom tbd . Titled T 3 I'll sell it. " Followers always look back " you can use that for my standard royalty

Hats off to Oliver Stone! We keep the good fight, the fight for the truth and restoration of democratic rule of law in the US

It was and is obviously a cover up.The official version of events beggars belief.The aftermath of the murder was carefully stage managed and lies maintained to this day.

It might be painful but it’s true: Europe has chosen to turn into a satellite of the USA.

yay oliver

Yea boy

Worldwide.

The Nikon Z9, the capability of taking 120 pictures in a tome frame of only ONE second, in the hands of Abraham Zapruder instead of his old Bell and Howell movie camera at only 24 frames per second: the most famous home movie in history ? Anyone? Go ahead and call me anything you want, just do not call me late for dinner.

Listen to this first -- 5:35

Your right 😇👁🤍💛💪✍👄💯

I was in the 2nd grade, remember it like it was yesterday.. we will never know the truth!

JFK Is one of the best movies ever made. In my top 5 of all time. I've seen it countless times. Use to believe the conspiracies could be possible. Once I learned about the lives of Oswald and Ruby and all the chance and dumb luck that weekend combined with the evidence it's impossible to have a conspiracy over who killed Kennedy. Oswald did. But you can change your mind on Oswald and still love the film and Stone. He's just wrong on the conspiracy

Gentleman.

Admiration for Mr Stone should be tempered. While it’s good that his movie stirred intense interest in the tragic events of November, 1963, he merely added to the fiction of the Warren Report. The assassination still strikes a raw nerve for those of us who lived through that national nightmare.
