Oliver Stone is one of the only true visionaries left in the contemporary cinema, a director known for his powerful and often controversial films. But beyond the controversy, lies a personal body of work that will long remain an influence in the cinema. Whether its in the horrors of a jungle in Vietnam, or the set of a radio talk show. Whether its a District Attorney fighting for truth in the assassination of a President, or a wounded Vietnam veteran returning to a country that no longer believes in him. Whether its Jim Morrison on stage, or Mickey and Mallory Knox on a murderous rampage around the country.Whether hes throwing us headfirst into a forgotten town of lost souls, or onto a football field feeling the action as players collide all around us. Whether its a king bent on conquering the world, or the common man called to acts of heroism in the midst of national tragedy. Whether its a President on the brink of destruction, or a young man enticed into the world of greed. Oliver Stones films are worlds upon themselves, reflections of our world shoved right back into our faces. They are worlds devoid of any false pretense, laid bare as the torn psyche of a wounded nation. His characters are men and women either forever lost in this torn pysche, or searching for the goodness amidst the darkness. He is a director who brings out the absolute best performances by his actors, whether its Anthony Hopkins, or Tom Cruise, or Woody Harrelson, or Charlie Sheen, or Val Kilmer, or Nicolas Cage. He is a director who has delivered countless images of pure cinema beauty and unspeakable horror and tragedy. He is a director who will long be remembered for reexamining Americas most recent history.But above all that, he is a director with a personal vision, a vision that once again proves how truly precious and special the cinema is, and his films influence will be felt for many years to come. This web page is as much a dedication to Stone and his works, as it is to examining these films that have already become classics. And of course, its the site to find the latest information on the next great works to come.
