Moving Pictures - Terry Pratchett
September 24th, 2007Take a sunny coast location, with palm trees and sandy beach, where it never rains. Add a hill (that has no sign) covered with a bunch of trees and known as Holy Wood. Supplement that with some novel work being carried out by the alchemists in a nearby city (Ankh-Morpork, as ithappens) on octocellulose and ‘clicks’.
The clicks work by passing the (highly unstable) octocellulose strip in front of a lens, behind which demons - very small ones who have a fag during their breaks - paint the scene before them very quickly, many times a second. When the public become familiar with this new technology, there are near riots in the streets to get the leading players’ autographs. All the clicks are silent, but I don’t recall there being a piano player or orchestra involved.
Is this beginning to sound familiar? It should be - it’s Pratchett’s wicked parody on all things movie-making, particularly the centre in California.
Not one of my preferred Discworld novels, but very enjoyable nevertheless. It has many of the usual characters (such as Gaspode, the talking mutt and CMOT Dibbler), not to mention the wizards at the Unseen University - who do get involved, eventually.
The hill mentioned earlier has a strange influence on the prime leading lady and leading man (her more than him), causing her to sleepwalk and do strange things! And Gaspode discovers some other talking animals - another familiar link to the present day’s film industry.
CMOT takes charge of one of the studios, and as is his normal wont, tries to make far too much far too quickly, which causes a strike. Even the trolls join in.
Nevertheless, as is always (?) the case with Pratchett, good triumphs in the end (and the ending is worthy of an early classic - or several of them), and peace returns to the Holy Wood.
For now…….
It’s taken me a while to get this onto the screen - it wasn’t that I had stopped reading; just took time to find the impetus to get it down for posterity, as it were. Ther are another 10 backed up in the queue.
This hardback edition published by Gollanz in 1990.
