Summary: The Best of William Goldman?
Comment: Tough to get a better collection of his works, or a more fascinating set of essays than the ones collected here.
Want to make someone smile? It just takes three words: "The Princess Bride" I was surprised to read in the essay that it did not have a stellar box office history, because anyone I've ever mentioned it to has come up with that instant smile of recognition.
I read Stephen King's novel Misery, but never got to see the movie. I was wondering how not seeing a movie would effect the experience of reading the screenplay. William Goldman played the whole thing in my head! It really was like going to the movies. This is one collection the aspiring screenwriter will be able to read over and over.
Rating: 5
Summary: Esential reading for all aspiring writers
Comment: Most people have seen these four films. Far fewer have read the screenplays. Because of the diversity of the material and the quality of the writing, this book is truly essential to all writers, especially those who want to write for the screen. Goldman's screenplays are unique. In effect, he has invented his own screen language. He's that rare beast, a screenwriter who cares about style.
Prepare to be thrilled and inspired.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great for fans of screenplays and of The Princess Bride
Comment: Well, I've always enjoyed reading screenplays. In addition, I've loved The Princess Bride since I first saw it. I also loved Misery. However, I hadn't seen Butch Cassidy yet. Reading the screenplay made it mandatory.
Goldman's comments about the movies are a wonderful addition to the screenplays. I highly recommend this book.
