Title: Great Read
Product review: This is a great read . . .What I appreciate about this text is the fact that it is not introduced as the definitive source of all great films and does not exclude non-American films from the discussion. It is simply his opnion on films that he has a high regard for aesthetic, artistic or cultural reasons.One prime example is the inclusion of "Written on the Wind." I recently viewed this film on DVD and was not overly taken by the movie. Basically, I did not really see why some film scholars regarded it so highly. But after reading Ebert's essay on the film, I realized that the film represented something more in terms of its impact (READ soapy melodrama) on popular culture.Overall, this book is a great companion for every film lover.
