Life Moves Pretty Fast: The Lessons We Learned From Eighties Movies by Hadley Freeman
5.0
I was more than happy to take a stroll down nostalgia lane and revisit many of the movies I loved as a child in the eighties. Freeman's conversational style appealed to me greatly and I often laughed at her clever and self-deprecating humor. She outlines why we don't see many movies like the hits of the 80s made today, citing the discouraging lack of progress the movie industry has made in portraying diverse perspectives. But she ends with a positive spin regarding more independent and quirky projects coming from Amazon Prime, Netflix and other streaming services that are not solely focused on producing the next blockbuster. This book was a lot of fun to read.
