Oliver Stone
4 titles · american genre
Platoon came out of Oliver Stone's own service as an infantryman in Vietnam: a naive recruit facing the moral crisis of the war. His films of the 1980s and 1990s are loud arguments with America. Wall Street follows a young stockbroker who falls under the spell of the corporate raider Gordon Gekko. Natural Born Killers makes a pair of serial murderers into media celebrities, and The Doors is about Jim Morrison.
