Rebel without a Crew Paperback – Illustrated, 1 September 1996

Good

I remember watching Spy Kids as an 11 year old, and this dude's name pops out. Fast-forwarding on to college, I picked up on my Hollywood movie binge. Watching the El Mariachi trilogy backwards, I was surprised by humble beginning of Rodriguez as a moviemaker. He has written this book with just as much love and humility with which he made El Mariachi. It will give any budding or couch-loving wannabe filmmakers wild ideas, just like me. I am reading this slowly, I dont want this fever to leave me yet, so I will take my time to finish this. To all you people who think you chose the wrong academic subject during college or later, you can pick up from here and see where it takes you. Beware though, everything that you dream of while reading this may not come to happen, but dont let that stop you. Buy it, this is one hell of a ride. Become a 'Rebel Wihout A Crew' if you dare. :)

I highly recommend this to all filmmakers. This guy is funny. He really got me laughing out loud many times throughout the book.

A must read for any film enthusiast. Great cover and print. Quality of pages is really good. The cover was curled at the edges which is a l pet peeve of mine but if that doesn't matter to you, buy it. The content trumps everything else.

I love how descriptive Mr. Rodriguez was about his whole process. Inspiring and motivating. Worth the money for every aspiring filmmaker.

Must read if you want to be a film maker.

Book is great but paper quality is not so good. But its ok.
