Renowned film director Oliver Stone, whose thought-provoking films have polarized and intrigued audiences for decades, is back with his new film about whistle-blower Edward Snowden, which will be released later this month. In his recent interview with Norwegian media, Oscar-winning director talked openly about war, democracy and Americanism.
Stone is known for being outspoken on the subject of about war, which has become the subject of many of his films, including such gems as war drama "Platoon" (1986). According to Oliver Stone, who has personal experience of fighting in Vietnam, war is the most dangerous and destructive force in the world. The entire history of mankind is about the reasons why people have to go to war, and Stone, who is known for giving his honest opinion about US politics, believes America plays a special part in the process.
