Review the Item please

Yeah I just wanted to say that the below reviews are NOT REVIEWS and therefore NOT HELPFUL. Someone can preach all they want about the weakness of the method (although it is obvious from the reviews that the authors have an incredible misunderstanding of it) but that has nothing to do with the quality of this product. I read the costomers' reviews to find out if it is a quality product, not to hear an extended rant on one persons misguided idea of acting style. Anybody considering this product probably realizes that it is a comentary based in the method, and also probably has their own opinions on the acting style which are probably not so misinformed as those expressed below. The product can be illumitaing to actors whether method or not, and while Strasberg does have his flaws (by the way, when Stasberg was first working only ONE of Stanislavski's THREE books was transleated into English), he also has many brilliant and useful insights.

Enough said about the method.

This book in my view puts to rest the decades long debate about what " method acting " is. IN HIS OWN WORDS, Strasberg explains that these are not the be all and end all for acting, but exercises for unlocking the creative abilities of the INDIVIDUAL ACTOR ! Absorb what you need from it and put the rest on the shelf for later.
