If They Move Kill Em - The Life and Times of Sam Peckinpah
Da: Crappy Old Books, Barry, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Good. Some film directors politely ask the audience to suspend their disbelief. Sam Peckinpah preferred to grab it by the collar, throw it through a saloon window in slow motion and then film the shattered glass from three different angles. Love him or loathe him, there has never been anyone quite like Peckinpah?a filmmaker whose work redefined the Western, challenged Hollywood conventions and ensured that every on-screen gunfight thereafter looked just a little less convincing by comparison. Published in 1994 by Grove Press, David Weddle?s If They Move. Kill ?Em ? The Life and Times of Sam Peckinpah is a richly detailed biography of one of American cinema?s most brilliant, infuriating and self-destructive directors. Drawing on extensive interviews, production histories and previously unpublished material, Weddle charts Peckinpah?s remarkable journey from television writer to the visionary behind films such as The Wild Bunch , Straw Dogs , Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid , Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia and The Getaway . The biography refuses to simplify either the man or the legend. Peckinpah emerges as a director of extraordinary artistic vision, capable of coaxing unforgettable performances from actors while simultaneously exhausting producers, studios and occasionally everyone within shouting distance. His genius was undeniable; so too was his ability to transform almost any film production into an exercise in organised chaos. Reading about his life, one begins to suspect that making the films was often every bit as dramatic as the stories unfolding on screen. There is, naturally, a delicious irony in Peckinpah?s reputation. He became synonymous with cinematic violence, yet beneath the blood squibs and balletic slow-motion shoot-outs lay films that were often profoundly anti-violence. His work examined loyalty, ageing, betrayal, friendship and the inevitable passing of old worlds with a melancholy that is sometimes overlooked beneath the flying bullets. The explosions attracted audiences; the humanity kept critics arguing about him for decades afterwards. Weddle also paints a vivid portrait of Hollywood during one of its most fascinating periods. The old studio system was fading, the so-called "New Hollywood" generation was emerging, and filmmakers suddenly found themselves with unprecedented creative freedom?provided they could survive the battles with studios, budgets, schedules and, in Peckinpah?s case, his own famously turbulent lifestyle. It is a world populated by larger-than-life personalities, impossible deadlines and enough behind-the-scenes drama to rival any screenplay. The title itself encapsulates Peckinpah?s uncompromising approach. It sounds like an instruction shouted across a dusty Western set moments before absolute mayhem erupts, yet it also reflects the relentless intensity with which he approached filmmaking. Moderation was not a concept that seems to have occupied much space in his vocabulary. If a scene could be made more powerful, more emotional or more chaotic, Peckinpah generally regarded that as an invitation rather than a warning. This copy is in Good condition, remaining clean, solid and perfectly readable. It is an excellent choice for collectors of film history, biographies of great directors or anyone fascinated by the glorious collision between artistic genius and personal turmoil. Like the best film biographies, it offers not merely the story of an individual but a panoramic view of an era that transformed modern cinema. Whether you admire Peckinpah as the poet of the Western, the master of cinematic slow motion or simply one of Hollywood?s great mavericks, If They Move. Kill ?Em is a compelling, entertaining and often astonishing account of a man who spent his career refusing to compromise?even when compromise might occasionally have made life considerably easier. Sold, as always, by Crappy Old Books?because the most interesting directors rarely behave themselves, and the best biographies usually leave a few metaphorical saloon doors swinging on their hinges.
