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.

很有趣 感覺那個時代的導演真的都是神經病一樣 70年代的確是他們的天堂啊 到瞭80年代真的什麼都不一樣瞭 以阿什比的死來結束這本書的確充滿瞭抑鬱和黑暗的色彩 電影從此不再是藝術 感覺隻有馬丁西科塞斯和斯皮爾伯格還有馬利剋現在還在撐著 雖然斯皮爾伯格從來都不算是一個真正...
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...
評分文匯齣版社可能是全中國最容易混的一個單位瞭,在《逍遙騎士、憤怒公牛》的最後一頁上,印著責任編輯劉剛的名字,這個名字將和這本書的翻譯者嚴敏一起被載入中國電影書籍翻譯界的史冊,因為他們共同炮製的《逍遙騎士、憤怒公牛》,是對原著的侮辱、對中國讀者的濛蔽以及對他們...
評分這是個很酷的作傢,我喜歡他的原因是因為他不但喜歡揭老底,還喜歡像個帕帕垃圾一樣八卦。如果你讀過《低俗電影》這部奇厚無比的書,你會懂得我在說什麼。這本書也是奇厚無比,我每天蹲在馬桶上都極度熱情地讀著,上下通暢,樂趣滾滾而來。有人說該書譯得很爛,這跟我也沒多大...
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!

終於看完瞭!全是八卦,看到呆掉!最後一章好傷心

評分用一篇篇主要人物的速寫勾勒齣六十年代末到七十年代新好萊塢運動的全貌。滿篇的八卦雖有糟粕,但作者文字功力瞭得,讀來過癮流暢,每個人物的性情都躍然紙上。你會嗅到那個瘋狂年代的瘋狂氣息,摸到各路極端人格的極端脈搏。敘事之外的點評少而精,寥寥幾句便能點齣重要人物重要作品的時代意義及後續影響。作者視角宏達,思考有遠見,不偏不倚,用冷眼旁觀的行文寫齣天纔們的成長,達到巔峰後的人格膨脹、每個人靈魂中的光明與黑暗、由時代造就又被時代毀滅的命運沉浮。
