How could the celebrated director of Platoon, JFK, Salvador, Born on the 4th of July, Wall Street, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, Any Given Sunday and W.….how could Oliver Stone drop to his knees in praise of effing Wicked, of all the ‘24 films he could have singled out?
Wicked is a fine, well-produced musical but it obviously doesn’t represent the values that Oliver has put forth since the mid ’80s. Why then has he praised it above and beyond the obviously superior Anora, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, A Real Pain, etc.?
