It's Only a Movie
A powerful, heartfelt memoir by one of the most respected screenwriters of the modern era.
Bruce Joel Rubin is a certified member of the Movie Brat generation and the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of the films Ghost and Jacob's Ladder. He is also a product of the great American counterculture experiment of the late 1960s, a seasoned meditation teacher, and an author who believes that stories have the potential to lead us everywhere and nowhere. His own tale has all the rises and falls of an epic, all the mysteries, complexities and contradictions of a fully-lived life. Through his unguarded reflections on the personal, the professional and the profound, Bruce offers a unique and intimate portrait of creative forces that weave us in and out of the world we know.

A deep fascinating memoir from the Oscar winning screenwriter of Ghost and Jacob’s Ladder. The spiritual journey and Rubin’s sexuality are the two themes that come over very strongly. And give a complete picture of the man.
