Dye for Wild Palms (Oliver Stone)

This more intricately-detailed exploration of 'community sentiments' is not unlike the region-culture meditative series Northern Exposure starring Rob Morrow.

Empire Falls seems to represents a modern age media/entertainment focus on human groups, networking, teamwork, and shared values. We can see the modernism apparent in such a focus when we surf social-networking websites such as Facebook or enjoy community-recreation TV programs such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

In fact, Empire Falls serves as a great 'foil' for the Oliver Stone associated TV miniseries Wild Palms starring James Belushi, a meditation on 'fortune fracture.'

Paul Newman won a deserved award (Golden Globe) for Empire Falls (to add to his numerous Oscar nominations and his one win for Scorsese's The Color of Money).

You would expect the casting for such a socially-symbolic project to be dream-friendly, and it is!
