Summary: Could have been better
Comment: I thought the film was OK, although it kinda freaked me out a bit, plus I don't think I quite understood it. I thought maybe getting the book (which is actually the script and not a novel, which I would have preferred) would help me understand it better. Plus, I love reading the books of movies, or vice versa. This made me want to watch the film again! It offered no insight into the film whatsoever, which was unfortunate. You do have a (short) introduction by Jake Gyllenhaal and a (long) interview with Richard Kelly. Which had its points. What you don't hear is all about his destructive childhood and all his failures with women which influenced this movie blah-de-blah-de-blah. (OK, I made that bit up) The bits about the movie were good, although nothing you haven't heard before. There was a lack of photos to this, mainly cos they all appeared at the end. They were quite interesting, despite being all in black and white (why not colour?) Some of them looked quite funky in black & white, particularly the ones of (oh God, I'm going to have to go back, and copy and paste his name all over again!) Jake Gyllenhaal. There are also some drawings of Frank, which are pretty basic.
To make this better: have the novel of it. There's so much cut out from a script, and you tend to skip bits, or not know which person is talking, as you haven't seen the film in so long (I was getting the teachers muddled up - couldn't remember which one was Drew Barrymore). Great for fans, and maybe it'll be worth re-reading if I ever re-watch the movie!
Rating: 5
Summary: Solid read for fans of the movie
Comment: This book doesnt provide a whole lot of new material, but does offer much insight into the movie based on the actors and director commentary. If you're a fan of the movie, it's definitely worth the purchase - by the way, has anyone seen the producer of the film Sean McKittrick? What a hottie!
