It was in the 1980’s that I first noticed that a lot of the films that I really liked, Midnight Express, Scarface, Year of the Dragon, Salvador, Platoon etc, were directed by Oliver Stone; the common denominators was that they were very emotionally intense & political; on that latter point, it wasn’t a surprise that Oliver Stone later became a very out-spoken political activist, and that his newer films include Snowden & Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
This is to introduce this very nice book review of the first volume of his autobiography called “Chasing the Light”, which sounds like a must read ;
