Conversation

The conversation is a very interesting and lively book. It is very useful and essential for lover of film. And it shows the interesting and meaningful conversation of two film artists, Michael Ondaatje ,the author of "The English Patient", and Walter Murch, the editor of the film version of the book ,who all possess a great passion for film. In this book, Murch provides great insight into his specialist fields of film making and discusses all his major work. It's not all technical however and there are frequent, and equally interesting, digressions into cinema and the arts in general.

By reading this book, I begin to know a little about Walter Murch and I have the great interesting in his experience and talent. He is a infinitely resourceful and versatile artist. Actually, he is highly educated and extremely widely read. He may be kind of musicologist and a cultural theoretician. He has spend much of his working as a sound editor and rerecording mixer and then as film editor. I love his films so much!
