Acknowledgments Hollywood is a town of fabulators. The people who dwell there create fictions for a living, fictions that refuse tidily to confine themselves to the screen, but spill over into the daily lives of the men and women who regard themselves as stars in the movies of their own lives. Although this book tells readers altogether more than they may wish to know about the Hollywood of the '70s, I do not flatter myself that I have arrived at "the truth." At the end of this long, twisted road I am once again struck with the force of the old maxim, the more you know, the more you know what you don't know. This is particularly true in the case of Hollywood, where despite the reams of memos and contracts that now gather dust on the shelves of university libraries, very little of what really matters is committed to paper, so that an endeavor of this sort is dependent on memory -- in this case of an era twenty or thirty years in the past. Not only is the terrain distant, but in this period memory has been enfeebled by booze and drugs. In a town where credit grabbing is an art form, to say that memory is self-serving is to say that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Moreover, defect of memory is a shield that enables people to go to work in the morning, protecting them from the unspeakable behavior that is taken for granted there. As director Paul Schrader puts it, "In this business, you've got to have a selective memory. Otherwise, it's too painful." Kurosawa's "Rashomon" remains one of the truest movies about the movies and the people who make them. In this maze of mirrors, lucky is the chronicler who does not lose his or her way in the infini, Alice Mayhew gave ither blessing, and Bob Bender, along with his assistant, Johanna Li, helped it to see the light of day. My agent, Kris Dahl, guided me through the shoals of writing and editing. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Elizabeth Hess, and daughter, Kate, for their unfailing patience and support.

最近正好買瞭這本書和《隱疾》,基本上兩天內把這兩本書看完,心中浮想聯翩,都是好書啊…… 這本《逍遙騎士、憤怒公牛》講述瞭科波拉、馬丁斯科西斯、斯皮爾伯格、盧卡斯們登上曆史舞颱,開創新好萊塢時代的經曆。如果過去我們看瞭那些如現代啓示錄、憤怒的公牛,以及...
評分雖然一直罵這本書的譯者怎麼能這麼湊閤瞭事,好多句子絕對有漏字現象搞得文句不通,但說實話,看到最後一章哈爾·艾什比之死,眼睛還是有些濕潤。整個新好萊塢在此落幕實在是再妥當不過,在艾什比的守靈夜上,那些他過去的朋友、同事、閤作夥伴不僅僅是在祭奠他,也是祭奠自己...
評分我力薦是因為原書的內容,不過文匯版的中文翻譯實在太爛。 如果對那段好萊塢曆史不是很清楚的話,這個中文版能把人看崩潰瞭。剛開始的時候我還拿筆標注一下,後來我完全放棄瞭,草草翻完拉倒。 還賣這麼貴!
