This tightly written novella creates a future Hollywood where everything is digitized, and creativity involves what is essentially super photoshopping- removing from or adding to the originals. Willis' prose and the viewpoint character she uses evoke the futuristic atmosphere in the context of an unusual love story, or is it the same old story? Here's looking at you, kid. (  ) ronincats | Apr 3, 2009 |  bluetyson | Sep 27, 2007 | Connie Willis must be the ultimate person to have on your trivia team for the movie category. The story is basically a caricature of Hollywood and all the things she does not like about it. And she must love movies to have so many lines and scenes and references. All of that, and it is a fun, entertaining read. Especially if you are a movie buff yourself and like trying to pick out the references before she has one of the characters fill you in. ( )1  grizzly.anderson | Dec 23, 2006 | I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, it captures the amazing power of the movies--to move us, captivate us, even transform us--but parts of it, the ending especially, feel rushed. It's a relatively short novel (only 140 pages) that deals with a complex, fascinating world that is inhabited by some really intriguing characters, and I feel like Willis only scrapes the surface of what's there. It needs a sequel. Ah, irony. 2 trinityofone | Oct 25, 2006 | One of the books the Library ordered "as a matter of urgency" at my request. Short 170 or so pages and pulsating with research. Every sentence seems to be a cinematic referance. In a future in which cinema has eaten itself using cgi to endlessly recycle old plots and old faces Alys wants to dance in the movies. This should work better than it does the plot seems get lost in writing and characterisation. SimonW11 | Oct 1, 2006 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com (ISBN 0553374370, Paperback)In the Hollywood of the future there's no need for actors since any star can be digitally recreated and inserted into any movie. Yet young Alis wants to dance on the silver screen. Tom tries to dissuade her, but he fears she will pursue her dream--and likely fall victim to Hollywood's seamy underside, which is all to eager to swallow up naive actresses. Then Tom begins to find Alis in the old musicals he remakes, and he has to ask himself just where the line stands between reality and the movies.(retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) A primeira ronda de testes foi já encerrada.
