Oliver Stone’s America: Dreaming the Myth Outward by Susan Mackey Kallis
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.10MB
Overview: This book represents an illustrated, critical analysis of filmmaker Oliver Stone and his works, placing him in the tradition of American political artists.
Stone, a polemicist and leftist artist, and, surprisingly for politically conservative America, a mainstream film director, is one of the most controversial American filmmakers in Hollywood. His films include JFK, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Heaven and Earth, The Doors, Salvador, Talk Radio, Natural Born Killers and Nixon, all political, passionate and disturbing. This book embraces Stone’s work, analyzes his films and places him inside the tradition of American political filmmaking.
Mackey-Kallis argues that Stone’s films are mythological constructions based on historical events and personae which draw upon the inevitable tension between social actuality and film form. Not simply an aesthetic contemplation, this book analyzes Oliver Stone’s films as artistically structured instruments for public communication.
