👉 • Oliver Stone: Unraveli...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today on the show we have three-time Oscar® winner Oliver Stone, undoubtedly one of the most influential and iconic writer/directors in film history. Throughout his legendary career, Stone has served as a writer, director and producer on a variety of feature films, documentaries and television films. His films have been nominated for forty-two Oscars® and won twelve.
Stone says his films are
"first and foremost, dramas about individuals in personal struggles"
and considers himself a playwright and not a political filmmaker. Politics is definitely a subject he likes to make films about. W., a 2008 film about American President George W. Bush, was the first film released about a sitting president in history. This film concluded his trilogy about the presidency, which he began with JFK and Nixon.
During our epic conversation, we discussed his legendary career, working with the Hollywood system, his time in Vietnam, the struggle as a screenwriter, how he deals with rejection, and his incredible new book Chasing the Light: Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game.
Chasing the Light is an intimate memoir by the controversial and outspoken Oscar-winning director and screenwriter about his complicated childhood in New York, volunteering for combat, and his struggles and triumphs in making films like Platoon, Midnight Express and Scarface.
Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with details of the highs and lows: We see meetings with Al Pacino about Stone's scripts for Scarface, Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July; the harrowing demon of cocaine addiction following the failure of his first feature film, The Hand (starring Michael Caine); his risky research into the terrain of Miami drug cartels for Scarface; her tempestuous relationship with The Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino; the breathless rush to finance the acclaimed and controversial Salvador; and the tensions behind the scenes of his Oscar-winning first film, Midnight Express.
Chasing the Light is a true insider's look at Hollywood's tumultuous years in the 1970s and 80s. I highly recommend that all filmmakers and screenwriters read this gem. Click here to read the book.
The main themes I learned from talking to Oliver were fighting and combat. Regardless of the success he achieved, the heights he reached in Hollywood, Oliver Stone had to fight to bring each notable film in his filmography to the screen.
I hope this conversation inspires filmmakers and screenwriters to never give up. Oliver struggled for years, taking jobs as a production assistant, taxi driver, office assistant and any other job he could find to help him survive while pursuing his dream. He wrote and wrote, reaching his goal of one to two scripts a year no matter what. Never give up, never surrender. As Oliver says
"Either you are born crazy, or you are born boring."
Enjoy my conversation with Oliver Stone.
