Book Reviews of Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay
Book Review: If you loved the film, this is a must buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
With both the original short story (incredibly well written and will surely one day be a classic) and the screenplay in one volume, along with essays by the screenplay writers Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, and the wonderful Annie Proulx herself on the making of the film, this is a "must buy" for any Brokeback fan. As well as being able to compare the short story and the wonderful way McMurtry and Ossana adapted the story faithfully for the screen, missing not a detail, and a glimpse into the making of the film, the screenplay's invaluable for those times when no amount of rewinding and viewing again can make out what the hell Ennis is mumbling! As the title of the book says, from story to screenplay, combining both with the thoughts and recollections of those most closely involved in taking the story from the page to screen, gives more insight into the process involved.
I own two copies of the book - one which I dip into on a regular basis which is now battered and worn, being well read, but my other stays safely stored away, just perfect like both the story and screenplay, but this is definitely a book for reading.
