The JFK director had a lapidary perspective of the contemporary film industry.
One of Hollywood’s most powerful voices is Oliver Stone. The director, whose films include The Doors, Nixon, Born on the Fourth of July, and Platoon, among many others, brought him great recognition.
Ryan Gosling
His oeuvre is strongly associated with many political events and societal contexts. He also had a strong view of the current status of the film industry, maybe as a result of the content of his work.
Ryan Gosling ought to have been interested in making “more serious films,” according to Stone, who voiced this opinion in an interview with City AM. The filmmaker went on to say, “Gosling is wasting his time if he does that crap just to make money,” without sugarcoating anything.
He ought not to contribute to Hollywood’s infantilization. These days, everything is fantastical even war films are wholly fictitious.
The author of Natural Killers also aimed some of the most successful franchises on the current market in another section of the note, saying, “I watched John Wick, which is a three-and-a-half hour film, on a flight.” When he was watching it, I think I nodded around 788 times, and every I woke up, I could not stop visualizing the main character murdering people.
It seems as though all reasoning has completely vanished from the world. However, Stone also took issue with the Fast and Furious franchise, stating that while he had formerly loved the feature films, he no longer does so since “they resemble Marvel movies.” How many crashes, really, can we take?
Why Ryan Gosling’s daughters skipped Barbie’s premiere
Oliver Stone is furious that Barbie is becoming so popular, but oddly, Gosling’s girls haven’t seen the hit movie yet. The actor who portrayed the recognizable doll in Greta Gerwig’s movie revealed the reason why neither his wife, Eva Mendes, an actress, nor his young daughters watched his most recent project.
In the context of the 2024 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the Hollywood actress admitted to E! News, “I don’t know if you should see your dad as Ken.” “I’m not sure when is a good time to watch your father act like that. He went on, speaking about Esmeralda, who was nine years old, and Amada Lee, who was seven, “He is half crazy.”
The girls, who were obsessed with Barbie, saw a few scenes from the movie and had the opportunity to tour the set, even if they never sat down in front of the screen to enjoy the whole narrative.
Big Musical Number
The actor reviewed, “They came to the set one day when I did a big musical number and they saw small parts.” Gosling went on to say that the young girls’ acceptance of the task was largely motivated by their passion for the Mattel doll.
Gosling clarified that he saw Esmeralda and Amada’s devotion to Barbie at the grocery store. They were moving slowly by the Barbie aisle as we were heading to Target. It dawned on my wife and me that it was time to give them a Barbie.
It was also intriguing that they showed no interest in Ken, he concluded. He emphasized right away, “Making Barbie was a way to do something for and with them.”
Gosling and Mendes
Apart from discussing his girls, Gosling also mentioned that he would like to collaborate on a movie project once more with his spouse, whom he originally collaborated with on The Place Where It All Ends in 2012.
In response to the chronicler’s question regarding that movie and the prospect of once more costarring with Eva Mendes, he said, “That was the best experience I had when making a movie, so I hope so.”
Even though Gosling and Mendes rarely appear together and are extremely private about their personal lives, the actor wrote a heartfelt note to his spouse on January 13 while winning the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film.
Gosling went on to say, “The most important thing is that I met the girl of my dreams, Eva Mendes, and had two dream daughters,” reflecting on how his career allowed him to play a variety of roles. “Movies have made my life a dream. I always dreamed of making movies,” the actor said in closing.
