Simple thoughts.,
By Veronika Kucsera (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Total Eclipse (Paperback)
In my opinion and after reading reviews everybody misunderstood the film and what it really wanted to say.It was not about DiCaprio and his beautiful face,nor about pure art but 2 poets who were nothing but "true messangers".If you remember Rimbaud did not care about sharing his poetry,took it seriously though but just as long as his heart felt it was necessery.This film that I have seen was magnificent.A total love story between 2 people who lived in an era that did not accept same sex relationships,nor desertion and again 2 people who did not care about the rest of the world.Rimbaud was born a genius knowing what he wanted.I loved the way DiCaprio inpersonated him.It took me back right in the 18th.century.Also I consider it an excellent piece of work.Never thought that anyone would complain about it.Especially because we can't ask them how it all happned.:-))))

The only thing unbearable is that nothing is unbearable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Total Eclipse (Paperback)
I was introduced to Arthur Rimbaud, by a fellow student. I had heard of him from the likes of Bob Dylan and Patti Smith but never gave it much thought. This is the screen play for the movie (which I also enjoyed) but it does go into much greater detail then the film. The young Rimbaud is and loud and obnoxious but clearly beyond, at the age of 17, what most poets may hope to accomplish in a life time. I only wish I new why he stop writing at the age of 20. There are clearly unanswered questions here. Still I enjoyed it and went on to read his poetry. He was truely a genuis.

The Screenplay and the Movie,
By GC (San Diego, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Total Eclipse (Paperback)
Yes, this is the screenplay of the movie "Total Eclipse", more than that, it is also a more precise portrait of (my favorite) poet Arthur Rimbaud. It's not saying the movie is not good (I like it a lot), but the movie left out some tiny details that is covered in this screenplay. And Since the movie is presented in an abstract way, you will understand the movie much better after you read this book. Furthermore, you can also have a comparison between the screenplay Rimbaud and the Leonardo DiCaprio Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio, or the director, actually added many of artistic interpretation to the role).
