Drawing on previously unseen production files from Oliver Stone?s personal archives and hours of interviews both with Stone and a range of present and former associates within the industry, the book employs a thematic structure to explore Stone?s life and work in terms of war, politics, money, love and corporations. This allows the authors both to provide a synthesis of earlier and later film work as well as locate that work within Stone?s developing critique of government. The book explores the development of aesthetic changes in Stone?s filmmaking and locates those changes within ongoing academic debates about the relationship between film and history as well as wider debates about Hollywood and the film industry. All of this is explored with detailed reference to the films themselves and related to a set of wider concerns that Stone has sought to grapple with -the American Century, exceptionalism and the American Dream, global empire, government surveillance and corporate accountability. The book concludes with a perspective on Stone?s ?brand? as not just an auteur and commercially viable independent filmmaker but as an activist arguing for a very distinct kind of American exceptionalism that seeks a positive role for the US globally whilst eschewing military adventurism. 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zUnited States 610 $aOliver Stone 610 $aHollywood 610 $aAuteurism 610 $aVietnam 610 $aPolitics 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 676 $a791.430233092 700 $aScott$b Ian$f1954-$0964499 702 $aThompson$b Henry 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910330707203321 996 $aThe cinema of Oliver Stone$92188182 997 $aUNINA
