With 1991’s JFK, Oliver Stone popularized a three-hour, docu-drama filled with talking heads. To keep the characters with little screentime memorable, the talking heads tend to be famous actors. A deluge of dialogue delivery is the narrative propulsion. Consequential historical events provide the background. You can sense this well-constructed yet frenetic style being used in 2007’s Zodiac, 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street, and 2023’s Oppenheimer.
