Book Synopsis West Side Story by : Richard Barrios
Download or read book West Side Story written by Richard Barrios and published by Running Press Adult. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating, richly illustrated full account of the making of the ground-breaking movie classic West Side Story (1961). A major hit on Broadway, on film West Side Story became immortal-a movie different from anything that had come before, but this cinematic victory came at a price. In this engrossing volume, film historian Richard Barrios recounts how the drama and rivalries seen onscreen played out to equal intensity behind-the-scenes, while still achieving extraordinary artistic feats. The making and impact of West Side Story has so far been recounted only in vestiges. In the pages of this book, the backstage tale comes to life along with insight on what has made the film a favorite across six decades: its brilliant use of dance as staged by erstwhile co-director Jerome Robbins; a meaningful story, as set to Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's soundtrack; the performances of a youthful ensemble cast featuring Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, George Chakiris, and more; a film with Shakespearean roots (Romeo and Juliet) that is simultaneously timeless and current. West Side Story was a triumph that appeared to be very much of its time; over the years it has shown itself to be eternal.

Download or read book West Coast Blues written by Jacques Tardi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Gerfaut, aimless young executive and desultory family man, witnessesa murder and finds himself sucked into a spiral of violence involving an exiledwar criminal and two hired assassins. Adapting to the exigencies of his new lifeon the run with shocking ease, Gerfaut abandons his comfortable middle-classlife for several months, until, joined with a new ally, he finally returns tosettle all accounts... with brutal, bloody interest. Released in 2005, WestCoast Blues (Le Petit bleu de la côte ouest) is Tardi's adaptation ofa popular 1976 novel by the French crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette. (Thenovel had been previously adapted to film under the more literal title Troishommes à abattre, and was released in English by the San Francisco-basedpublisher City Lights under the English version of the same title, 3 toKill.) Tardi's late-period, looser style infuses Manchette's dark story witha seething, malevolent energy; he doesn't shy away from the frequently grislygoings-on, while maintaining (particularly in the old-married-couple-stylebickering of the two killers who are tracking Gerfaut) the mordant wit thatcharacterizes his best work. This is the kind of graphic novel that QuentinTarantino would love, and a double shot of Scotch for any fan of unrelenting,uncompromising crime fiction

Download or read book Original Gangstas written by Ben Westhoff and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Raw, authoritative, and unflinching ... An elaborately detailed, darkly surprising, definitive history of the LA gangsta rap era." -- Kirkus, starred review A monumental, revealing narrative history about the legendary group of artists at the forefront of West Coast hip-hop: Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur. Amid rising gang violence, the crack epidemic, and police brutality, a group of unlikely voices cut through the chaos of late 1980s Los Angeles: N.W.A. Led by a drug dealer, a glammed-up producer, and a high school kid, N.W.A gave voice to disenfranchised African Americans across the country. And they quickly redefined pop culture across the world. Their names remain as popular as ever -- Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. Dre soon joined forces with Suge Knight to create the combustible Death Row Records, which in turn transformed Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur into superstars. Ben Westhoff explores how this group of artists shifted the balance of hip-hop from New York to Los Angeles. He shows how N.W.A.'s shocking success lead to rivalries between members, record labels, and eventually a war between East Coast and West Coast factions. In the process, hip-hop burst into mainstream America at a time of immense social change, and became the most dominant musical movement of the last thirty years. At gangsta rap's peak, two of its biggest names -- Tupac and Biggie Smalls -- were murdered, leaving the surviving artists to forge peace before the genre annihilated itself. Featuring extensive investigative reporting, interviews with the principal players, and dozens of never-before-told stories, Original Gangstas is a groundbreaking addition to the history of popular music.
