I'm not saying that all projects must be ego driven but it is a very important component of the artistic/creative process...yes Stone is personally caught up in his projects, how could a Vietnam Veteran make a film like 'Born On The Fourth Of July' and not invest himself totally within it?He has lived a large part of the modern American Experience, been scarred, uplifted and informed by it so why would that not be part of his art?
BTW, anyone calling BOT4thOJ an ego trip or ego driven is wrong IMO.
One large problem with Stone's style of film making (and it can be off putting, 'Nixon' for instance, was chain yanking on a grand scale IMO) is that there are many folks who have no ability to separate their politics and world view from art and for them he is written off early...most times without having seen the films in question. So if a more politically acceptable director was making these films (with the same content) they would be welcomed by these folks.
