Bien avant de connaître la gloire avec Platoon, en 1986, Oliver Stone, figure mythique du cinéma américain, réalisateur et scénariste multi-oscarisé, avait déjà vécu mille vies. Fils d’une Française et d’un soldat américain, le jeune Stone a été fantassin pendant la guerre du Vietnam, puis a connu des années de misère, passées à écrire des kilomètres de scripts inaboutis, tout en conduisant des taxis dans les rues de New York pour survivre. Le futur réalisateur de Wall Street décide alors de changer de vie, et traverse les États-Unis pour s’installer à Los Angeles. Et c’est là, enfin, que son existence bascule. Aujourd’hui âgé de 74 ans, Oliver Stone se penche sur cette vie digne des plus grands scénarios. Sans complaisance, mais toujours avec une malice et une intelligence fulgurante, il raconte les hauts, les bas ; les succès, nombreux, et les coups durs. Avec la verve qui lui est propre, il nous plonge dans ses rendez-vous avec Al Pacino en pleine écriture des scenarii de Scarface, Platoon ou encore Né un 4 juillet, mais se confie aussi sur les démons qui l’ont longtemps poursuivi. Remontant le fil de sa mémoire, Stone nous livre également ses périlleuses recherches dans les bas-fonds de Miami alors qu’il écrivait le scénario de Scarface, ses relations houleuses avec Michael Cimino, réalisateur de Voyage au bout de l’enfer, le tournage pour le moins chaotique de l’inoubliable Midnight Express, et bien plus encore... Traversé par une énergie à couper le souffle, À la recherche de la lumière retrace la destinée inégalable d’un talent brut et l’âge d’or d’Hollywood.

Jamais Vladimir Poutine ne s''était livré aussi librement que lors de ces cinquante heures d''entretiens avec le grand cinéaste Oliver Stone. Un huis clos absolument fascinant.

Au-delà des questions de société ou des enjeux géopolitiques, ce sont les secrets d''une personnalité surprenante que Vladimir Poutine dévoile pour la première fois au réalisateur de Platoon.

Este é um arquivo histórico importantíssimo e raro que o leitor terá a oportunidade de conhecer a partir da curiosidade e do brilhante trabalho desta inusitada dupla de autores. A obra cobre um período de mais de 100 anos de história mundial, é fruto de uma profunda pesquisa por cinco anos, em que os autores se debruçaram sobre arquivos da época, e conferiam dados de fontes à exaustão. O resultado mostra que tudo está conectado: Dos governos Reagan e Eisenhower a todo o conceito da Segunda Guerra Mundial; o real significado da batalha contra o nazismo; o desenvolvimento (e a alimentação) da guerra fria; os diversos momentos em que os Estados Unidos agiram, na verdade, como agressores; O Macarthismo e a tradição de espionar toda gente, desde pessoas comuns à líderes mundiais; o modus operandi em que se inserem os conflitos no Iraque, Teerã, o trabalho da CIA e tantos outros eventos que, segundo documentos, tiveram como meta criar uma guerra global ao terror e dividir o mundo.

Typescript, dated 8/7/82.

A young readers'' companion to the ten-part documentary series outlines provocative arguments against official American historical records to reveal the origins of conservatism and the obstacles to progressive change.

Cheated by a prostitute and her pimp in Mexico, college student Eric Welles is arrested at the U.S. border for drugs. A judge remands him to the U.S. Marine Corps and he ends up in Vietnam. He fights there, losing an arm, and his innocence. Before coming home, he falls in love with a Vietnamese prostitute in Saigon. Once discharged, Eric attempts to return to his parent''s home but, instead, becomes immersed in a combination of fantasy and a hypnotic set of adventures that lead him back to Mexico in search of the hooker and pimp that got him in trouble before Vietnam. The tale ends with him killing the pimp, kidnapping the prostitute, and, ultimately, dying himself at the hands of the Mexican police, at the very place on the border where his life went bad the first time. -- Unproduced

JFK, la impactante película de Oliver Stone sobre los disparos que se escucharon alrededor del mundo y el misterio que los rodea, es una de las cintas más provocativas de todos los tiempos. Además de ser un éxito de taquilla, aclamada por la crítica y premiada, jugó un importante papel en el debate nacional que culminó con la aprobación del Acta de Revelación de Material de Asesinato, 1992. El director y coescritor, Stone, añadió 17 minutos de filmación a la película ganadora de Premios de la Academia, para esta exclusiva edición DVD, lo cual aporta más emoción al mosaico de la turbulenta investigación de Jim Garrison acerca del asesinato de John F. Kennedy

Discover America’s secrets in this second of two volumes of the young readers’ edition of The Untold History of the United States, from Academy Award–winning director Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick, adapted by Eric Singer. There is history as we know it. And there is history we should have known. Complete with poignant photos and little-known but vitally important stories, this second of two volumes traces how people around the world responded to the United States’s rise as a superpower from the end of World War II through an increasingly tense Cold War and, eventually, to the brink of nuclear annihilation during the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is not the kind of history taught in schools or normally presented on television or in popular movies. This riveting young readers volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies to reveal uncomfortable realities about the US role in heightening Cold War tensions. It also humanizes the experiences of diverse people, at home and abroad, who yearned for a more just, equal, and compassionate world. This volume will come as a breath of fresh air for students, teachers, and budding young historians hungry for different perspectives—which makes it a crucial counterpoint to today’s history textbooks. Adapted by high school and university educator Eric S. Singer from the bestselling book and companion to the documentary The Untold History of the United States by Academy Award–winning director Oliver Stone and renowned historian Peter Kuznick, this volume gives young readers a powerful and provocative look at the US role in the Cold War. It also provides a blueprint for those concerned with shaping a better and more equitable future for people across the world.
