Praise for Who the Devil Made It
“Illuminating . . . These were (and sometimes are: a few yet breathe) men rooted in history as much as in Hollywood. Their collected memories make the past look fearfully rich beside a present that is poverty-stricken in everything except money.”—The New Yorker
“Bogdanovich is one of America’s finest writers on the cinema. . . . Thank goodness [his] Who the Devil Made It has come along to remind us that films and writing about film were, at one time, focused on the work and not strictly on the bottom line.”—The Boston Globe
“A treasure trove on the craft of directing.”—Newsday
“Monumental . . . The directors’ reminiscences about technique, working methods, sources of ideas, and relationships with actors and studios are thoroughly entertaining.”—Publishers Weekly
“A fine achievement that helps illuminate the art and craft of some remarkable directors . . . There are plenty of revealing anecdotes.”—Kirkus Reviews
The title comes from an exchange between filmmakers Howard Hawks and Peter Bogdanovich. Asked which directors he preferred, Hawks replied, "I liked almost anybody that made you realize who in the devil was making the picture." Hawks is talking about distinctive directorial personality, about movies that bear the stamp of a filmmaker's character. This book collects 16 interviews Bogdanovich conducted with some of the best directors working in the golden age of Hollywood. All of them, from the famous--Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, Chuck Jones, and Hawks himself--to the lesser known but equally wonderful Leo McCarey, George Cukor, Josef von Sternberg, and Edgar G. Ulmer--had a remarkable and inimitable style. In their interviews, they provide insight into their craft and a view of Hollywood's golden age that is informative, anecdotal, and often hysterically funny.
Noted film director (The Last Picture Show, 1971) and author (This Is Orson Welles,
LJ 11/15/92) Bogdanovich here consolidates 16 interviews with a very representative selection of significant cinema pioneers. Bogdanovich begins with a lengthy introduction in which he lays out his credentials, provides an overview of cinema history, and discusses the pervading influence of Ernst Lubitsch (d. 1947). Each director receives a career analysis followed by the interview and concluding with vital statistics and a complete filmography. As a film historian, Bogdanovich knew which questions to ask. Except for the previously unpublished Robert Aldrich and George Cukor interviews, these pieces originally appeared in periodicals, monographs, and books dating as far back as 1960. The books are out of print, and some of the periodicals are hard to find, making this compendium very valuable, even essential, for film collections.?Kim R.

这本书给我的感觉,就像是在进行一场智力游戏,作者巧妙地设置了各种线索和伏笔,引导着读者一步步地去探寻真相。我发现自己在阅读过程中,会不自觉地去猜测接下来的发展,去分析人物的行为动机,去寻找那些隐藏在字里行间的联系。有时候,我会觉得我似乎已经洞察了一切,但下一秒,作者又会抛出一个新的转折,让我之前的推测瞬间变得苍白无力。这种“猜不透”的感觉,反而让我更加着迷,更加渴望继续往下读。它不是那种一眼就能看到结局的故事,而是需要读者主动去参与,去构建,去解读。我喜欢这种互动式的阅读体验,它让我感觉自己不仅仅是一个旁观者,更是故事的一部分。作者的叙事技巧非常高明,能够巧妙地在不同的时间线和叙事视角之间切换,让整个故事充满了层次感和悬念。每一次的阅读,都像是在解开一个新的谜团,每一次的深入,都能发现新的惊喜。
评分读这本书的过程中,我发现作者的叙事风格非常独特,有时候像是一阵疾风,裹挟着各种意象和情绪扑面而来,让你应接不暇;有时候又像是一潭深邃的湖水,缓慢而沉静地流淌,让你在静谧中体会到字里行间的深意。我特别欣赏作者在描绘人物心理上的细腻之处,那种幽微的情感变化,那些难以言说的内心冲突,都被刻画得入木三分。读到某些章节的时候,我甚至会觉得,自己好像也成为了书中的某个角色,在经历着他们的喜怒哀乐。有时候,我会停下来,反复咀嚼某一段文字,试图理解作者想要传递的更深层的含义。这种阅读体验是如此的沉浸,让我常常忘记了时间的流逝。这本书不仅仅是文字的堆砌,更像是一种情感的共鸣,一种精神的对话。它让我看到了人性的复杂,看到了生命的多面性,也看到了在困境中依然闪烁着的人性的光辉。这本书的文字本身就具有一种力量,能够触动人心最柔软的部分,也能激发人内心深处的思考。
评分这本书的书名就足够吸引人了,带着一种神秘和一丝挑衅,让人忍不住想知道“谁”才是那个“魔鬼”,又是什么样的“创作”被赋予了如此黑暗的标签。我拿到这本书的时候,就迫不及待地翻开了第一页,那种感觉就像是在探索一个未知的领域,心中充满了好奇和一点点不安。书的封面设计也相当有品味,简洁却又充满力量,让人一眼就能感受到它蕴含的某种深沉的力量。我特别喜欢它用字排版的风格,那种复古又带着现代感的字体,在阅读的时候有一种沉浸式的体验,仿佛穿越了时空,置身于作者所描绘的世界之中。我一直在思考,作者究竟想通过这个书名传达什么?是关于创作者内心的挣扎,还是关于某种不为人知的秘密?这本书给我的第一印象,就是它不是一本轻松愉快的读物,它可能需要读者投入更多的思考和解读。我期待着在接下来的阅读中,能够逐渐解开这个关于“魔鬼”的谜团,感受作者想要表达的那种深刻的情感或哲理。它给我一种预感,这会是一次充满挑战但也极有可能收获颇丰的阅读旅程。
