WATCH TRAILERS AND CLIPS OF THE FILMS REFERRED TO IN THE STORY
'TRIPPY MOVIES'
Graham White's first published book, Trippy Movies was born out of a piece he
wrote
for Rolling Stone magazine in 1998, inspired by a film of that year,
Pleasantville.
The book looked at "films which give an idea of what life can
seem like when one is under the influence of certain hallucinogenic
substances."
On the eve of publication, Graham saw the newly released film
The Matrix. Whilst he was in the process of adding a section on this movie,
'The Truman Show' hit the big screen. Graham has attributed the popularity of his
book as being "due to the timing of two of the most trippy mainstream movies ever". The
book featured stills from the two movies on its cover and went on to sell over 400,000
copies in its first year.
By the beginning of our story, Burn Like Ice, 'Trippy Movies' has become the
subject of some controversy in the media for supposedly "encouraging the use of
dangerous and illegal drugs".
When we first meet Graham, he's working on his second book, Beyond Good and
Evil in Hollywood, in which he explores the roles that particular movie stars choose
and how their acting career relates to their life off the screen.
