Hollywood’s history: idealized, deceitful, captivating, misunderstood.
If you're fascinated by the glitz and dirt under Hollywood's manicured nails, "The Whole Equation" is a compelling read. David Thomson cracks open the intricate puzzle of Tinseltown – glamor, business, and illusion intermingled. It's a narrative that doesn't just chronicle the rise of Hollywood but puts you in the shoes of those who built it and those entranced by its spectacles. It's about understanding your own place in the cinematic universe that so profoundly shapes our culture.
