Oliver Stone talks about his memoir, ‘Platoon’ shoot in PhilippinesBy RUBEN V. NEPALES
“Johnny Depp was an unknown, basically. I thought he had the face of the star. He was one of the soldiers,” recalled Oliver Stone about the actor, one of many he brought to the Philippines to shoot Platoon.
In his newly released memoir, Chasing the Light, the Oscar and Golden Globe winning director pens an intimate account of his life and career so far, from his childhood, fighting in the Vietnam War, to making Platoon, including the tense preparations impacted by the People Power Revolution, and ending with the film winning the Academy best picture prize.
I talked via video call with the filmmaker, who has grown fond of the Philippines since he shot Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July, about his engrossing biography which is subtitled, Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game.
