    All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

    This is like a question/answer session paired with beautiful views of Kremlin inside and history lessons, presenting RF President's view of many hot political issues. While you may see that Mr Putin is well prepared, there is no doubt that he is presenting us dangerous reality we live in today.People like me, interested in foreign policy and following it on daily basis, will be familiar with many of presented views. People, like me, who had the unfortunate opportunity to see and feel some of the things they are talking about (destroying government structures, devastation of country's economy, economic sanctions, tycoons, inflation, unemployment, bombing, colored revolutions...) know why it is important to hear what this men have to say and think about it.

    I love Oliver Stone, I always have So, I was looking forward to this interviews with Vladimir Putin. But now, 24 hours after having seen them I'm totally and utterly puzzled. I'm not writing this as an uninformed American. I work with people who come from different Countries, a few Russians too. Mr Stone must know that all sort of public information in Russia is monitored by the Kremlin so, that alone, should throw shivers down Mr Stone's spine. Am I right? So, why then this long pro Putin propaganda, because, that's what it is. Isn't it? To make things even more puzzling Mr Stone went to the Tonight Show and told Stephen Colbert that he didn't believe the Russians interfered with the American elections. What? It's not just the US that was interfered with but the UK, France, Germany. What is this Mr Stone? What do you think you know that we're missing? As I respect you very much. I would like to understand.

    This is really interesting, to know the Russian perspective, and the struggle of Russia since 1990s to have friendly relations with the USA...it shows how many times Russia tried to join USA in different fields to be part of the block and not be considered a threat or an outsider.It shows how the US denied Russia of becoming part of the NATO, and then surrounding Russia by all the NATO allies countries situated in close proximity with the Russia, establishing military bases in those countries which will always posses a threat not only to the Russia but to the whole world. This also shows that the US might also make Afghanistan a part of the NATO and establish military bases there for long term, which is also in close proximity with the Russia and Iran,China, Pakistan.This is really important to watch for those who don't know much about Russia and their point of view about the world.

    Director Oliver Stone travels about with Vladimir Putin and produces four hours of "interview" time. It's not really an interview, as it shows Stone doing some interviewing and also accompanying Putin as he plays a hockey game - something he said he learned just three years before this was filmed (2015) - and as he does some judo - he holds a black belt.The thing is, Vladimir Putin comes across as an eloquent and thoughtful guy, not like the fat little dictator of North Korea who is well fed and always tries to dress "cool" but as a result just looks ridiculous. Every time Stone tries to bring up something unpleasant about either Russia past or present, Putin has an answer. Stone brings up Stalin, what a monster he was, and yet there are still statues to him. Putin brings up Napoleon and how France admits that what he did was a disgrace yet there are still statues to him. He mentions England's Oliver Cromwell and how he became a dictator and that yet there are statues to him in his home country. When questioned about gay rights in Russia, he even has a compassionate liberal answer for that. He is well versed in history and politics past and present of both the West and Russia, and never loses his cool. And remember, this guy was in the KGB from 1975 to 1990.Stone asks Putin if he has ever seen "Dr. Strangelove". Putin admits he has not. So Putin stops and takes the time to watch the movie with Stone, although from his expression - and it doesn't change much EVER - you can tell he is probably humoring him. In spite of that, at the end, Putin makes some well thought out remarks about the film that could have been forged into a superior review.The point is - this is not the guy I was expecting. Plus, you can tell he somewhat charmed Oliver Stone. If this is the same Putin that Donald Trump met, who apparently knows how to shift his presentation to his company, Trump could have easily been putty in his hands.Watch it - all four hours if you have the time - I think it will be a revelation.
