Narrative Concering Books John Boorman's the Emerald Forest

This title will appeal to anyone who has interest in the movie itself and also filmmaking in general. It takes the reader behind the scenes of pre-production for a high budget international production. There's even some drama thrown in as the film's director, John Boorman, gets into a creative dispute with the screenwriter about casting Boorman's son as the lead.

The film itself is as magical and substantial as any film can be, and was an overlooked influence on Jame's Cameron when he created Avatar. This director's journal shows just how much blood sweat and tears went into it.

Assessment Containing Books John Boorman's the Emerald Forest

I saw this movie in Year 8 at school and, even though I haven't seen it since, it made a big impact on me and I remember some parts vividly. I was keen to read the book to my daughter. This is a wonderful story - especially for a book based on a movie. I'd so love to see the movie again.

Pretty much the only movie novelization I've ever read that matches the quality and beauty of the film on which it is based, adding even more depth and insight into the characters and their motivations. Well worth the read if you enjoyed the film!

Quite readable but after seeing the film some years ago, the book disappointed me to some extent. It did not have the same magical and original effect. A short and quickly read book too.
