My to watch list has grown manifold because if this book. There’s a lot of history in here, told through pictures, reflecting society at-large, in its truest state. Fear and money are what drive Hollywood, but it’s because those are the driving factors behind the general US way of life. The interviews are the end of each chapter make that as clear as the movie synopses and reviews. Really liked the artwork, and often found myself wishing I’d seen this movie or that (residual The Joy Luck Club) with my mom.
Was surprised Big Hero 6 was excluded. Also, Pachinko was one of my favorite books and series in recent years. So I’d love to see a similar book for TV shows and books too.
