内容简介
······
It's well known that a vast number of people work on any given movie in roles as varied as writing scripts, choosing locations, dressing sets, costuming the players, lighting scenes, manipulating the camera, directing actors, editing film, working on sound, advertising the finished product, and screening it to an audience. Have you ever thought about how these components are collated? Or why the director is most often considered the author of a film? Wonder no more, because Sidney Lumet's Making Movies is a terrific journey through each stage of filmmaking that is overseen by the director. Lumet, the veteran director of Twelve Angry Men, The Pawnbroker, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, The Verdict, and many other fine movies, knows the ins and outs of American filmmaking as well as anyone. In this excellent, personable account, Lumet tells what he's learned about making movies in the course of the last 40 years. He shows why fine directors need to have strong imaginations, extraordinary adaptability, and skill in many different fields. His enthusiasm for his life's work, particularly his love of actors, is evident on every page of this book. As Herculean as the labors of film directing are, Lumet takes great pleasure in his work, almost guiltily admitting that the film director's job is "the best in the world."

"I am sometimes asked if there is one book a filmgoer could read to learn more about how movies are made and what to look for while watching them. This is the book." – Roger Ebert
有一次导演西德尼·吕美特问阿瑟·米勒，既然他在剧本和小说写作方面具有同样的天赋，为什么还会选择写剧本。为什么他要放弃小说写作赋予他的对于创作过程全盘控制的权力，而取而代之以一种共同把控，在这里，剧本首先要经过导演之手，再经由演员、场景设计、制片等等。米勒的回答令吕美特感到触动，米勒说：他喜欢看到他的作品在别人那里引起反应。这些反应当中可能有他在剧作写作过程中从未想到过的揭示、感受和思想。吕美特说：…
Constructive thinking. 最近看到的听到的，总让我摸着良心拷问自己的初衷
商校老师推荐，相见恨晚。和看上去平凡无奇的书名一样，在某种程度上为“拍电影”祛魅——不是蒙着浪漫主义玫瑰色滤镜的冒险，而是细致入微的筹划、准备和执行构筑起来的项目管理；因此这本书同样提供了可以复制且极为清晰高效的工作体系，甚至在电影之外的其他领域都值得借鉴。字里行间看得出吕美特是非常诚实自省，智慧理性又充满激情的创作者，全无任何说教和自我吹嘘，行文简洁优美，精辟凝练，可以说和他的片子一样，丝毫没有…
