While we were visiting our cousins up at Canandaigua, New York, we took the high school graduate and her boyfriend to the movies with us on Saturday. The older men of her immediate family, her dad and her brothers were too busy golfing to accompany us to the movies, their loss. We all were psyched to see World War Z, especially me because I read Max Brooks novel and I loved the book. Believe it or not, despite the fact that the movie differed from the book, I loved the movie very much. When the movie ended, I wasn’t ready for it, I could have watched more of the story, gladly. I have to say that the biggest kick I got of the whole story, book or movie, is the fact that the author is Max Brooks, the son of Mel Brooks. He who created Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, The Producers, Get Smart and so on and so forth, his son wrote and will be known for World War Z. I find it so interesting a juxtaposition of genres within a family. I would love to know what Mel Brooks thinks of the World War Z phenomenon. I am sure that he must be so very proud, it is quite an entertaining piece of fiction.
