, We have an obligation to those who died ... to remember
A sad occasion in that Julian could not follow me out the door. He lives in a tiny room with great modesty and discipline.
Strong mind, no sun, friends who visit, work to be done, one documentary coming out from Alex Gibney that is not expected to be kind.

Born in New York in 1946, Stone left Yale to enlist in the Army in 1967, serving in the 25th Infantry and 1st Cavalry Divisions in Vietnam, where he was wounded twice and earned a Bronze Star for valor. He started as a screenwriter, winning his first Oscar for Midnight Express in 1978 and scripting Conan the Barbarian and Scarface before stepping behind the camera. Platoon in 1986 won him Best Director and Best Picture, followed by a second directing Oscar for Born on the Fourth of July three years later. From there he swung between Vietnam aftermath and American power: Wall Street, The Doors, JFK's assassination puzzles, Nixon's downfall, the media frenzy of Natural Born Killers, football's brutality in Any Given Sunday. His films - $1.3 billion worldwide - reliably sparked arguments, critics calling him a conspiracy theorist while he called American foreign policy nationalist and imperialist. He kept making the films other directors wouldn't touch.
