Publisher's Synopsis
After Minority Report, released in 2002, a story about predicting future crimes (pray that it never happens), I saw Duel, your very first movie from 1971, in which a giant truck threatens the life of a man driving a car. I have seen quite a few of your movies and I was seized by a desire to write to you. It was as if I was speaking to you, I, the spectator, sitting in the dark of the movie theatre, and you, behind the screen, were telling me a story. I have always imagined the movies like that ? You have my word as a child.Very quickly, writing to you helped me to realize the extent of the role of your movies in the link between the myths written into our culture and those that are currently forging our present culture across the planet through the medium of movies. What a project! What is, therefore, the impact of movies on our present day culture ?
