Review of The Illustrated Man (1969) by Kyle V — 21 Jun 2010
Before the opening credits roll, I immediately recognized the music from the great composer of the original Planet of the Apes, Jerry Goldsmith...his music enriches this classic tale of a doomed existence of the man with the body covered in "Skin Illustrations" and his journey to find the woman who did this to him.
..and kill her...each tattoo has a story and you hear many of them from the past as well as the future...loved this film...it is not for everyone, especially those of a low intellect that did not grow up with the writings of Ray Bradbury.
..it is slow for a reason, to make you think...to take it all in...sad to see so many bad reviews, but I imagine, they are all "kids" of another generation and no lust for the classics (and waiting for a remake, Gads!) nor an appreciation for a timeless journey into the unknown.
