Only Question Not Allowed: How Do I Contact Oliver Stone?

GO TO THE OLIVER STONE MESSAGE BOARD

Oliver Stone is one of the only true visionaries left in the contemporary cinema, a director known for his powerful and often controversial films. But beyond the controversy, lies a personal body of work that will long remain an influence in the cinema. Whether it's in the horrors of a jungle in Vietnam, or the set of a radio talk show. Whether it's a District Attorney fighting for truth in the assassination of a President, or a wounded Vietnam veteran returning to a country that no longer believes in him. Whether it's Jim Morrison on stage, or Mickey and Mallory Knox on a murderous rampage around the country. Whether he's throwing us headfirst into a forgotten town of lost souls, or onto a football field feeling the action as players collide all around us. Whether it's a king bent on conquering the world, or the common man called to acts of heroism in the midst of national tragedy. Whether it's a President on the brink of destruction, or a young man enticed into the world of greed. Oliver Stone's films are worlds upon themselves, reflections of our world shoved right back into our faces. They are worlds devoid of any false pretense, laid bare as the torn psyche of a wounded nation. His characters are men and women either forever lost in this torn pysche, or searching for the goodness amidst the darkness. He is a director who brings out the absolute best performances by his actors, whether it's Anthony Hopkins, or Tom Cruise, or Woody Harrelson, or Charlie Sheen, or Val Kilmer, or Nicolas Cage. He is a director who has delivered countless images of pure cinema beauty and unspeakable horror and tragedy. He is a director who will long be remembered for re-examining America's most recent history. But above all that, he is a director with a personal vision, a vision that once again proves how truly precious and special the cinema is, and his films' influence will be felt for many years to come. This web page is as much a dedication to Stone and his works, as it is to examining these films that have already become classics. And of course, it's the site to find the latest information on the next great works to come.
