I never read the book but then I do not read fiction - and I don't care what changes were made in the script - although just today I ordered The Devil's Candy, a book about the making of the film - but I have never laughed so hard in my life throughout this masterpiece of a comedy especially the performance given by F.

Download books for free. The Movie Show Episode 10 1991. EXPIRES ON 31 December 2030. "The Bonfire of the Vanities" is actually an absorbing, slick-paced and well-acted piece of cinema that works on several levels. Such an underrated and misunderstood film. People have criticised this film merely on the basis of wanting to shoot down the successful careers of those working on it---but I suspect that Willis, Hanks, De Palma,et al, will be secretly pleased that they have this lost treasure in their back catalogues to be resurrected and discussed long after their more popular films might be. There's no such thing as a bad Tom Hanks movie, is there? Great movie. | | The goal is survival within a particular kind of life style. Hell, now we have parents of murdered children bumping into each other to get their faces on "Good Morning America." Enter Bruce Willis as Peter Fallow, a reporter eager to regain his reputation who sees the incident as just what the doctor ordered. So, to sum up, a brilliant political satire. This is a funny film that digs at people who do take advantage of race to further their own agenda. User Ratings The superb directing, creating realistic and horrible scenes of dirty political games and black (literally) PR, capture my attention. 2020-07-26. Before I talk about the movie itself, I'd like to get ugly for a quick sec.. My attention was captured. De Palma tries to film his great masterpiece switching from Hitchcock to Kubrick.

Hanks' character, Sherman McCoy, is a wall street tycoon, aged 38, with a wife two years older, a daughter he adores, and a young mistress that he insists he deserves all because he is a "master of the universe". Brian DePalma`s The Bonfire of the Vanities is a perfect example of how a best-selling book can be carefully altered, perceptively pruned and converted into an intriguing motion picture. What was wrong with this movie to get such bad reviews? It is well cast, well directed, and well photographed. After confessing that the director he admires in a most intimate way is Stanley Kubrick, Brian De Palma uses the witty Tom Wolfe novel as the story he needs to imitate one of his most admired masters.
