Overview

De la colaboradora de Vogue y columnista de The Guardian, Hadley Freeman, una guía personalizada de las películas de los años ochenta que describe por qué cambiaron para siempre la forma de hacer cine, con entrevistas exclusivas a los productores, directores, guionistas y estrellas de los mejores clásicos de culto.

Para Hadley Freeman, las películas de los años 80 lo tienen todo. Comedia en Tres hombres y un bebé, Hannah y sus hermanas, Cazafantasmas y Regreso al futuro; todo lo que un adolescente necesita saber en La chica de rosa, Un experto en diversión, Digan lo que quieran, El club de los cinco y Mystic Pizza; lo mejor de la acción en Top Gun, Duro de matar, Un detective suelto en Hollywood e Indiana Jones y el templo maldito; Amor y sexo en 9 semanas y media, Splash, Sobreviviendo, Reencuentro y Los búfalos de Durham; y diversión familiar en La sirenita, ET, Big, Dulce hogar... ¡a veces! y Apóyate en mí.

En The Time of My Life, Hadley pone su obsesión por el cine a buen uso, detallando a los actores clave, géneros y tópicos de la década. Ella recuerda un mundo cinematográfico en el que los banqueros son invariablemente malvados, donde los niños siempre son más sabios que los adultos, donde la ciencia se abraza con un entusiasmo intenso y el futuro se ve con una emoción vertiginosa. Y considera cómo los cambios entre las películas de entonces y las de hoy dicen mucho sobre las expectativas cambiantes de la sociedad respecto a las mujeres, los jóvenes y el arte, y explica por qué La chica de rosa debería incluirse inmediatamente en los programas escolares.

Desde cómo John Hughes descubrió a Molly Ringwald, hasta cómo la amistad entre Dan Aykroyd y John Belushi influyó en la evolución de la comedia, y cómo Eddie Murphy hizo que América creyera que la raza puede ser trascendida, esta es una "carta de amor altamente personal y divertida a las películas de los ochenta, pero también una visión intelectualmente vigorosa y bien investigada sobre los tiempos cambiantes de la industria cinematográfica" (The Guardian).

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From Vogue contributor and Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman, a personalized guide to eighties movies that describes why they changed movie-making forever—featuring exclusive interviews with the producers, directors, writers and stars of the best cult classics.


For Hadley Freeman, movies of the 1980s have simply got it all. Comedy in Three Men and a Baby, Hannah and Her Sisters, Ghostbusters, and Back to the Future; all a teenager needs to know in Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Say Anything, The Breakfast Club, and Mystic Pizza; the ultimate in action from Top Gun, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom; love and sex in 9 1/2 Weeks, Splash, About Last Night, The Big Chill, and Bull Durham; and family fun in The Little Mermaid, ET, Big, Parenthood, and Lean On Me.

In Life Moves Pretty Fast, Hadley puts her obsessive movie geekery to good use, detailing the decade’s key players, genres, and tropes. She looks back on a cinematic world in which bankers are invariably evil, where children are always wiser than adults, where science is embraced with an intense enthusiasm, and the future viewed with giddy excitement. And, she considers how the changes between movies then and movies today say so much about society’s changing expectations of women, young people, and art—and explains why Pretty in Pink should be put on school syllabuses immediately.

From how John Hughes discovered Molly Ringwald, to how the friendship between Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi influenced the evolution of comedy, and how Eddie Murphy made America believe that race can be transcended, this is a “highly personal, witty love letter to eighties movies, but also an intellectually vigorous, well-researched take on the changing times of the film industry” (The Guardian).
