We shall not cease from exploring

We shall not cease from exploring, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. -T.S. Eliot- We can now have voice-over narration with movies that make DVDs well worth buying, and we can enjoy the movie more after seeing what the artist or writer, or director, was trying to accomplish. I myself need someone to tell me when my shoe is untied. You may notice a few drawbacks to the DVD extra route that this book addresses. First, even if the media lasted forever, the DVD would become unreadable with newer technology. Unless you have a portable device about the size of a book, a DVD can be clumsy to carry around. People who are book-oriented can get more pleasure from this medium. The book itself is conveniently divided into logical sections: Introduction -- Synopsis -- The screenplay -- The cast -- The film -- The shoot -- All the movements and dialogue are clearly written. There are plenty of color pictures as visual aids. After enjoying the different views of both Shakespeare and the movie, this book makes a great conversation item.
