Title: Wow, These People are...Human
Review: I grew up in the 70's and I still believe that decade was the last great movie era of Hollywood. THE GODFATHER, CHINATOWN, JAWS, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, THE EXORCIST, TAXI DRIVER, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, ANIMAL HOUSE, THE OMEN, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, M*A*S*H--Hollywood isn't just living in the shadow of that decade, it's shamelessly looting just about every film from then!What makes Biskind's book so much fun to read is the open and candid way the filmmakers and everyone else discuss their rise and falls. These brilliant filmmakers made some of the greatest films of all time...but they're still people.(If you loved this book, then also check out the late Julia Phillips' book, "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again," another funny and fascinating take on the great 70's era. Then check out Blake Edwards' 1981 film, S.O.B.!).
