The director of “JFK,” “Platoon” and the new political thriller “Snowden” added that he tries to tell stories that others ignore. “There are too many things that are taboo in the American public,” he lamented. Stone spoke at a small event in New York last week discussing “Snowden,” his new movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The Academy Award-winning director described the difficult process of producing the film, which was released last week to much acclaim.
