Tastes and Likes are highly individualized. Perhaps there

Tastes and Likes are highly individualized. Perhaps there is no accounting for them. This movie is not for everyone. It is not for those wanting a precise retelling of the Bradbury book. But it is a bold extension of the Bradbury theme a variation in multiverses. It is not for those who want all loose ends tied up and all questions answered. Reality does not provide final answers. It is not for quibblers, technical snobs, or nit-pickers who would lose the ethereal ambience and spirit of the film for trivialities. But is a cult classic to me. If one is willing to put aside preconceived notions and enter into a world of multi-dimensional Sci-Fi in good faith, one will be rewarded with a mysterious, haunting Sci-Fi experience. Steiger is intense and riveting Bloom subtle and seductive. Drivas is the perfect foil for Steiger, a hapless, innocent man caught up in a bizarre puzzlement. Seeing common California scenes come alive with a sense of otherworldliness amazed me. I am still searching for the exact location of the lake. Jerry Goldsmith's music beautifully compliments the haunting story. I will not say more. Watch, and enter the experience. But be careful not to stare too closely at the skin illustrations!

There are many great things about this movie

There are many great things about this movie: Rod Steiger terrific performance; Jerry Goldsmith's immersive soundtrack; an actually very effective main plot, the scenes where Carl and Willie just talk alone in the riverside are executed perfectly with the help of Jack Smite direction and never get tiring or boring. There is just one (or rather two) detrimental problem: 2 out of 3 of the vignette stories are genuinely horrible, with very bare bones and a borderline incomprehensible plot and messaging, specially the 2nd one, and they are short but still remain a slog to get through. The only good one is the first dubbed the "The Veldt", as the subtextual horror at first and explicit at the ending is absolutly effective and chilling, with a overrall message that aged like fine wine and feels way more effective, familiar and necessary than it ever must have felt in 1969. You should definetely give this one a watch but be warned of the problems i mentioned.

Sometimes, the written word doesn't translate well to

Sometimes, the written word doesn't translate well to the big screen. Case in point: The Illustrated Man. You'd figure that a film based on Ray Bradbury's book starring Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom would have a fighting chance, but you'd be wrong. When a young man traveling across country meets a man covered in tattoos wandering through the countryside, an odd relationship develops as it is explained where the tattoos came from and the stories (in this case, three futuristic tales) that they tell. Where the movie tends to fall apart is the fact that the thread that links the three stories told over the course of the film is more interesting than the stories themselves. At the risk of offending Bradbury, it probably would have been prudent to just focus on how Steiger's character came to be so heavily tattooed.
