		Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business

From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter and playwright: an exhilaratingly subversive inside look at Hollywood from a filmmaker who’s always played by his own rules. Who really reads the scripts at the film studios? How is a screenplay like a personals ad? Why are there so many producers listed in movie credits? And what on earth do those producers do anyway? Refreshingly unafraid to offend, Mamet provides hilarious, surprising, and refreshingly forthright answers to these and other questions about every aspect of filmmaking from concept to script to screen. A bracing, no-holds-barred examination of the strange contradictions of Tinseltown, Bambi vs. Godzilla dissects the movies with Mamet’s signature style and wit.

Mamet does it again! I grabbed this at the library, and it was so good, that I had to order a copy a third of the way through it; I was going crazy not being able to underline, highlight, or jot notes/thoughts in the margins. Mamet pulls no punches (does he ever?) with this expose/critique on the Studio System, that most lovingly call - Hollywood. For filmmakers, and cinema fans, this book is a must have.

Also, I got my copy used, and was happy that someone had already underlined a bunch of passages. Saved me some work. ;-)

Mamet does it again! In BAMBI VS. GODZILLA, he offers essays which provide new ways of looking at motion picture production, writing and life. He inspires. He challenges. He shares ways of looking at things that are as profound and simple as they are new. I wish I could have gotten this kind of clarity in the university courses I took! I especially enjoyed the section on screenwriting, including a "secret bonus chapter" with tips that will clarify major issues for most beginning writers of fiction and drama. Mamet has the advantage of an excellent education and a journeyman's straightforward way of seeing the aesthetics of film and theatre, along with a no-nonsense way of explaining what he believes will benefit any reader. Whether you're a fan, a serious reader, an aspiring writer or actor, or even just someone who dreams of working on a motion picture crew some day, this book is for you.

There is a scene in the movie of The Fountainhead where the industrialist tells Gary Cooper (Howard Roark) that as he traveled across the country everytime he saw an interesting building he discovered that it was a Howard Roark design. Similarly nearly everytime I see a good movie or TV show it seems to be the work of David Mamet.

The above paragraph is an example of making a point through a reference to a movie scene. That's how this book is written. It's a real hoot for the true movie buff.

A very interesting look at how movies are written and made. The role of producers, actors, technical people, and directors was fascinating. The names make all the money, and everyone else is paid a pittance. Recommended to anyone interested in the real story of movie making.

This is another great book from David Mamet, filled with interesting insights.
The anecdotes are great too. Recommended for anyone with an interest in the movie industry.
