I have a unique perspective as a 20 something because this is not a movie I grew up with, this was not a defining film of my lifetime. I heard about this book and decided to give it a try and I am thrilled that I did. Not only did Stevenson ignite in me a deeper understanding of Hollywood he brought a movie to life for me. Often I have heard of Scarface as a classic and a must watch but I never heard or saw true passion until I read this guide.This guide covers all aspects of this film including music, lighting and wardrobe. Stevenson really compels us to think further on subjects that we may not have otherwise considered about movies and life. For example, he talks about on and off camera violence and concludes (teaches) that even violence we can't see in detail has a huge impact. I loved this book. I learned a lot about the making of movies and about this movie. I am now a huge Scarface fan.
