During a 1991 television interview about JFK, Oliver Stone accidentally
referred to his film's hero, New Orleans district attorney Jim
Garrison, as Jim Morrison, the subject of Stone's previous work,
The Doors. The mistake was poignant. Stone's films are largely
about characters reborn into obscure knowledge, whether it is
an assassination conspiracy, a rock star's shamanic impulses,
a young soldier's experience of good and evil in war (Platoon),
the monster's path (Natural Born Killers), or the religion of
wealth (Wall Street). Oliver
Stone has been a manipulator of facts at times and received
harsh criticism for that, but this highly decorated Vietnam vet
has never apologized for mixing history and personal impressions
of history onto a large, novelistic canvas.
