About This Item
Lawrence, KS: : University Press of Kansas,, (2000). SIGNED (bookplate)-. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.. 2nd printing, a trade paperback. A book which combines the views of some of Stone's most thoughtful critics and supporters and allows Stone to respond to their views. Includes contribtions from writers like David Halberstam, Stephen Ambrose, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Walter Lafeber, and Robert Rosenstone, who critique Stone's films to show how they may distort, amplify, or transcend the historical realities they appear to depict. "These essays - on Salvador, Platoon, Wall Street, Born on the Fourth of July, The Doors, JFK, Heaven and Earth, Natural Born Killers, and Nixon - enlarge our understanding of Stone's films, while also giving us a fuller appreciation of the filmmaker as artist and intellectual. They reveal how Stone's experience in Vietnam colors his views of American government and corporate culture and suggest new ways of looking at the complex tensions between art and history that shape Stone's films." Illustrated with photographs. SIGNED by Oliver Stone on a bookplate on the half title page. Includes notes, selected bibliography, list of contributors, index. 335 pp.
