Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Oliver Stone (born 1946) is an American screenwriter, director, and producer best known for his films about controversial social and political issues. After wetting his feet in Hollywood with the screenplays for Scarface and Midnight Express, Stone was finally able to direct his legendary war film Platoon, which drew largely on his own experiences as an infantryman in Vietnam, and earned him Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. He would follow this film with the critically acclaimed Wall Street, Talk Radio, and Born On the Fourth of July (another Oscar winner for Best Director) before making headlines with his ultra-controversial (due to its liberal use of Artistic License in portraying historical events) 1991 film JFK, which took a look at the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He followed the success of JFK up with the Biopic Nixon, which faced equally harsh criticism (though unlike JFK, it acknowledged its artistic license up front) and was a financial flop. The one-two punch of JFK and Nixon has led to the depiction of Stone as a Conspiracy Theorist filmmaker. |
