Before the “platoon” brought Oliver Stone international success, he fought in Vietnam, was wounded twice. Returning from the war, he entered New York University, where he studied film art with Martin Scorsese. At night, Stone drove a taxi, and in the afternoon he worked as an assistant to the producer and wrote scripts, receiving refusals over and over again. This book is the story of the director of the “platoon” and “Salvador”, the scriptwriter of the “midnight express”, “Konana-Varvara” and “Faces with Shram”, a talented and honest person who fought with circumstances and temptations, improvised and made his way to remove his movie. This is a story about growing up during the years of great changes, when people lived in politics and social problems, defeats and loss of confidence, early successes and arrogance. This is a contemporary story about the faces of the American film industry of the 1970s and 1980s, crooks and heroes-people who bring you good or destroy you with their presence if you allow them this. And, of course, this book is about love for cinema and life itself
