Total Eclipse

Summary: Redundant Bordom
Review: Anyone who idolizes Dicaprio should not be allowed to read Rimbaud. In all actuallity, this book(like the movie) was uninformitive and dull. It focuses more on Verlaines psychology than Rimbauds--and as we all know, Verlaine was an ugly man. Im sick of hearing about this piece, it was lame. I only pray that all the teenie boppers of the world don't start reading Rimbaud since they love Dicaprio so much---it might actually give them a glimpse of what real life is like, and we wouldn't want to upset there little minds...now would we?

Review: As a matter of fact I did not read this book, but I watch the movie and loved it. The only thing that drove me to watch the movie is only because Leo is my idol, BUT!--after the movie I was very curious about Arthur Rimbaud and I found some information about him and tried to read "A season in Hell", and I was totally FASCINATED by his works! He truly IS the defination of a genius!!!!!!! I love his writing style, his thoughts, and his intelligence.......At 18 he wrote his last piece of work, "A Season in Hell", and I think it's the BEST one of all...It's perhaps the most rebelious, thought-provoking work I've ever read.

Summary: Simple thoughts.
Review: 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.:-))))

Summary: Stunning Screenplay
Review: Without seeing the actual film, I was stunned by the screenplay. Not only are the words captivating and true to poets Rimbaud and Verlaine but the actual film directions are provocative and insightful. The entire piece is beautifully complex. "The only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable" I'll be honest, I find it a damn shame to have DiCaprio playing the role only because I feel that the movie will be taken less seriously and Rimbaud will forever be a teen dream in the minds of many.

Summary: I've been bit by the Rimbaud and Verlaine bug!!!!
Review: 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).
