    Shocked from the start! The story language of this script is amazing. Billy Wilder is amazing! Even if you don't show me the movie and just let me read the script, I will watch it with relish~\(≧▽≦)/~ Come midnight, how about blindfolding the orchestra and smashing champagne glasses over Max's head?(#Galaxy和我affiliation of #from the dressmaker by...

    It's a real Hollywood movie with a golden luster. But that yellow is the yellow of falling rain and twilight, and the gold is the gold that "was once lonely and dark." It's the beauty of beauty, the aesthetics of ruins, the desolate and ruined mansion, the uninvited guests, the old beauty guarding the dead orangutan's body in the gold tent, and the cold wind wandering like a ghost with nowhere to go, sneaking in. The pipe organ of the old days, whining... Horror movies don't dare to shoot like...

    This film is so dark that it's terrifying, whether it's the ferocious atmosphere or the inner atmosphere. This kind of horror comes from the bottom of my heart. The heroine is like a "Don Quixote" character immersed in a flashy appearance, indulging in her own past. and lost times. Imprisoning himself in his former "Neverland Manor", and even more perverted, there is also the existence of a housekeeper, director and husband, so that I suspect that all this is a kind of revenge for her husband's...

    9/10. Norma buys a high-end coat to win favor, zooms in and zooms out to capture Joe's emotional changes: disgusted to accepting advice from a salesman, his values ​​are shaken; the grassroots circle of innocent people in a friend's apartment celebrating and self-deprecating, and the claustrophobic environment of Norma's costume in the hall Forming a spatial opposition, the cigarette holder/inspector burying the pet orangutan symbolizes morbid escape and spiritual control in life, and the...

    Cowardly scholar, Montenegrin old demon and blood sucker. The irresistible temptation, the inescapable reputation. It is conceivable that in the golden age of Hollywood, the status of screenwriters is equal to that of directors. The murder scene was...

    Terrible, super scary atmosphere, probably the darkest Billy Wilder film noir. The protagonist's character and behavior are very complex, and it is not a disgusting parenting story in a simple sense. The two acting systems are perfectly compatible, and the performances of several actors are fantastic. The counter-record of the history of Hollywood's development must be quite courageous in the context of the times. The ending is...

    It's a majestic, but witty, classical narrative. Fitzgerald's flair. Norma plays Chaplin. I see a battlefield with a clown nose. It's a momentary fascination with her. Equal to Sasuke and...

    Flowers have a re-opening day, and people are no longer young. You have to learn to live after the spotlight is dim. The silent film will end, and so will life....

    The best thing about Billy Wilder is that every line, every character, every relationship is impeccable. Three relationships are enough to write three movies. Its interspersed and overlapping reflect the changes of the times. People's choices have changed, but the glory of the old days is as attractive as the freshness of youth. I honestly suspect that "Letter from the Heart" got its inspiration from this...

    The boss is really old

    Old exciting. From beginning to end, I felt that the male protagonist who was killed was quite innocent.

    The male protagonist Joe is a second-rate screenwriter in Hollywood. Because he can't produce good works, he borrows to live on, and is on the verge of being eliminated by Hollywood.

    One day, when...

    Happiness is really simple

    Accepting who you are at the moment is very important for both the heroine and the hero, so that you can live in the real world. Before the male protagonist died, he said to the female protagonist, "50 years old is not scary, the scary thing is that you must be 25 years old". So should the male...

    Norma Desmond: The greatest star of them all.
