10 Things We Learned From Oliver Stone On Joe Rogan Experience

10. What He Thinks Hollywood Gets Wrong About War

It's no secret that Hollywood has a habit of dialling things up to 11 for the sake of making a movie more entertaining.

This is something which Stone admits particularly frustrates him about watching the majority of war films he sees on the big screen.

Due to experiencing a legitimate war up close, various things like unrealistically intense fire power or the enemy being a lot closer to soldiers than they were in real life stick out to Stone more than they would the average filmgoer. Although he does admit that he has been known to do this on occasion. However, he feels newer projects are 'way off' when it comes to what actual war feels like.

He also revealed that the Rambo films drive him crazy (though he did enjoy the first one) and Mark Wahlberg's Lone Survivor (2013) is a film he classes as 'way overdone'.

Stone also goes into detail about how he feels Pentagon endorsed movies don't accurately depict how frequently soldiers were wounded from friendly fire accidents, telling Rogan that he thinks around 15-20% of the American casualties in the Vietnam War were from friendly fire.
