I knew on Alan Rickman by Die Hard in which he impressively performed Hans Gruber. He could be an imposing and a memorable before as it a small role of concierge in Smiley’s People. Certainly, his diaries, which actor intended to publish, were wishful in reading for me.
Containment of these diaries usually a planner of meetings and time of them. His thoughts are shortly combined. The scraps of impressions. You read familiar names, but they are part of Rickman’s everyday. No detailed portrait. There willn’t much on watched movies, which all of them of highly considered by critics and audience – it was one of my suspicious on honesty of editor. Rickman’s expressions in common words and adjectives. He writes on regular boredom as something do with a girlfriend. No devotion on inner of theater. An author on his own wave where you must guess what he means in contradicting and scraping sentences.
This book is writing notes to himself. There rarely can find such as “Jurassic Park – what the hell is the plot? Great dinosaurs.” I couldn’t complete with forewords from Emma Thompson and book’s editor Alan Taylor who both, as usually in this part, are writing opposite things to a book and I never perceive existence of forewords, because I always know what book I take and I don’t need that somebody explain how I should read it and accept opinion of that person. I relocated to diaries, but few pages of reading turned to content with names of people and movies, which I used for find and almost got insignificant as that just was.
