I Am (Not) A Number: Decoding The Prisoner (English Edition) Kindle版

英語版 Alex Cox (著) 形式: Kindle版

265

すべての形式と版を表示

The enormously puzzling TV series The Prisoner has developed a rapt cult following, and has often been described as 'surreal' or 'Kafkaesque.'
Alex Cox watched all the episodes of The Prisoner on their first broadcast, at the ripe old age of thirteen. In I Am (Not) a Number, Cox believes he provides the answers to all the questions which have engrossed and confounded viewers including:

- Who is Number 6?
- Who runs The Village?
- Who - or what - is Number 1?According to Cox, the key to understanding The Prisoner is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made — and not in the re-arranged order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he provides an innovative and controversial 'explanation' for what is perhaps the best, the most original, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time.
Clear and well-informed - written from a gifted film-maker's point of view, with a Coxian twinkle in its eye - this is the best guide to THE PRISONER and its hidden depths that I have read. If you want to find out who Number 6 REALLY was, and who/what was managing the Village, look no further' - Christopher Frayling
'If you've been itching for answers, they're largely here' - Jon Wise, Sunday Sport

A fascinating, and startling read!

2019年6月19日にカナダでレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

For those who know, and love, the 1967 TV series 'The Prisoner' (as I do) this is an easy, yet fascinating read. Part of Alex Cox's 'decoding' of the mystery surrounding this series requires viewing the episodes in their original production order, rather than in the order they were screened (or assembled on DVD/BluRay for that matter). This, supposedly, creates a more logical sequence of events throughout the series, though, at the time of writing, I have yet to try this. Each chapter describes the seventeen episodes of 'The Prisoner' in detail, and at the end of each chapter, Cox asks 'what have we learnt', picking out salient points from the episode to support his case. His conclusions in the two final chapters (sorry, no spoilers) are startling, perhaps revelatory, and bound to cause much debate between 'Prisoner' afficionados.
100% recommended reading for any 'Prisoner' fan, regardless of whether you buy into Cox's approach and, in my mind, his highly plausible interpretation of this magnificent series.
Be seeing you!

Fun and informative book, even if you're not a "Prisoner" cultist

2019年3月31日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I watched the "Prisoner" on a B&W TV back in late Pleistocene at a friend's house in Oildale (they had cable) and we were simultaneously mystified and hooked. And even though I wasn't a "Prisoner" cultist, or even much of a follower, I'd always been curious about the show and what it was really all about, so when a random event put a copy of "I Am Not a Number" in my hands, I gave it a read. It's not only a great, informative, and fun read, it's also a great glimpse into the creative sausage factory of the Prisoner -- I never knew Patrick McGoohan was such a powerhouse writer/director/producer. It covers the episodes themselves, the cultural/politcal context in which they arose, and the talent and personalities that forged them. Each chapter ended with a "What have we learned" section, and the whole book ended with an epilog (basically a 'what have we learned' for the whole book) that was absolutely fantastic and anchored the 50 year old prophetic series to the present day: essentially that the dystopian world the Prisoner was warning us about 50 years ago, is actually the world we live in today (e.g., the surveillance state and all that) and it provides a fantastic insight and bookend that I wasn’t expecting at all and was a great and satisfying surprise. A great book, about a mystifying cultural phenomenon, even if you're not a "Prisoner" cultist.

This is a film maker's view. It is easy to read and is both informed and informative.

By tracing the order in which the scenes from the Prisoner were shot Alex Cox brings a valuable insight into the way the project, which seems to have started with a number of well meaning and very talented people at cross purposes, unfolded. This book is a professional's view of the work of fellow professionals. I strongly recommend it. It is also the first book in which I have seen a fair appreciation of the work of Nigel Stock who had the unenviable, if not impossible, task of standing in for Patrick McGoohan in a somewhat contrived episode, although seemingly necessarily so. A professional performance by any standards. But the Prisoner - it is like quicksand. The more one becomes drawn into the Prisoner the greater the suction. Yet unlike quicksand the greater the depth of penetration, the greater the appreciation for a quite magnificent piece of performing art. It does more than merely entertain. It challenges an awakened mind like little else has done. Alec Cox's contribution to this process is great. I owe him a debt of gratitude for it.

Leave your theatre chewing gum under your chair.

A reasonable read with much room for exposition. Some passages do challenge the reader especially those who have viewed the original tv series to understand what the writer(s), director(s) actor(s) had in mind as if the production was more free form than the usual tv fare of the time. That said, there is enough material to provoke the reader to consider alternative POV’s for viewership is just the start, and discussion (with self and others) means you take away from the project all that you need to see your world with a different gaze. To the series and portent of real dystopia, what else,...”be seeing you”.

Great analysis, not sure I completely buy it

Really enjoyed reading this while I rewatched the episodes. I chose to watch the episodes in the order the book suggests, and then read the chapters afterwards. Lots of tidbits about the production and the business of selling the episodes to the US I found fascinating. Not sure I completely buy the author's final contention, which I won't spoil here, but must admit he makes some very interesting points.
