专业搞电影的其实不分好坏电影，商业的或艺术的，即使三流电影里也能淘出好东西。很不错的电影入门，作为参考清单
可读性同中上影评吧。先看完图解，再看纯文本，看到第四章，看电影去了。Chapter 12 SYNTHESIS 公民凯恩 纵有万般好，跟我不合适。
Amazing book, very insightful. I find the champ yet on editing, acting, story, writing and ideology very informative. Sometimes I wish the examples in the book is more up to date.
封面的梦露真好看
