Book Reviews of Jacob's Ladder (Applause Screenplay Series)
Book Review: Fantastic companion to a fantastic movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Jacob's Ladder is one of my all time favourite films and this screenplay is the perfect piece of paraphernalia for collectors and fans of the movie. Initially I bought this just as a sign of devotion to this movie but was impressed by the content of the book. There is an introduction and notes by Bruce Joel Rubin which give great insight into the politics of producing this movie. The script is also interlaced with hundreds of beautiful black and white photographs, and we are also treated to the script of a number of deleted scenes, including alternate endings. Perhaps the most fascinating part of this book is the original Buddhist ending, which initially was to represent a kind of "zen" moment for Jacob, but was deemed pretty much impossible to produce, hence leading to the current ending.
Overall, a very worthwhile companion to one of the finest, scariest, most beautiful and most underrated movies ever made.
