      No wonder the New York Times recommends movies that write about the dark side of Hollywood

      Is this family cursed? The flower of evil blooms generation after generation. That little boy's unusual precociousness, his ability to see through the world, to understand and negotiate the adult world, and the ability to acquire, began to think that it was just the ability of a precocious child who went out to work very early to deal with the world. After seeing that, his entire family, especially the father, although he is a therapist and can still publish books, is just a businessman who...

      This speechless starry sky

      From the name alone, I might regard this film as a sci-fi film or a small fresh literary film, but what I didn’t expect is that it describes the various deformities of the entertainment circle where the corrupt and cannibalism is eccentric.
        Watching Julianne Moore's last film was "Still Alice", in which she interpreted a professor who had a happy family and a successful career but suffered from Alzheimer's syndrome. In this "Star Map", she She played a female star who was sexually...

      how to be a star

      ["Star Map" is a film that criticizes Hollywood and today's Western culture, describing people's over-indulgent mentality for "stars". ] This is the first sentence of the film introduction, which fully and concisely expresses the theme and purpose of the film.
            In my opinion, a star is a public image and an example for the general public. What a star does has a direct impact on fans who like the star. Since he chooses to be a star, he must resist the temptation and serve the people...

      "Star Map": Vanity Fair often spawns a group of monsters!


          David Cronenberg’s films in the past few years are full of stars. "Dangerous Method" and "Metropolis" have been nominated for the three major film festivals. Unfortunately, the reputation is always mediocre. Many people think that Cronenberg has passed the peak of creation. It is difficult to have good works like "History of Violence" and "Express Desire".


             "Star Map" is still star-studded, with literary icons such as Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowski, Sarah Gadon,...

      Talk about freedom

      When out-of-town tourists spread out the tour map marking the star residences, Hollywood becomes an "imaginary community" constructed by others, a gleaming fantasy kingdom, and a role-playing game. New players start from the giant lights in the Hollywood Hills. , After numerous task dialogues, trying to become one of the NPCs. This kingdom was born as a result of movies, which gave birth to countless great movie works, and gradually transformed into a strange shape that only concerns fame and...

      The aesthetic taste is difficult to keep up with Cronenberg's films in recent years. In addition to the conventional structure, there are always some mysterious elements of the cloud and mist that sneer from time to time. More terrifying than Aunt Moore's award-winning face is Pattinson's shy...

      The rhythm of the video is perfect, it should move, it should be fixed. In fact, the ending also contains jokes, maybe the two children are just imitating movies from more than 30 years...

      1. Looking at Aunt Moore's Cannes actress, I was pleasantly surprised to find Cusack; 2. Robert Pattinson's image and my impression of him have changed a bit; 3. No wonder I always feel that Agata is familiar, It turned out to be Mia who played the neurotic girl again; 4. Watching this film is a little sneak peek at Hollywood in Los Angeles; 5. If I had known this was a David Cronenberg movie, I would have been prepared for the bloody scene at the end 6. The fire is too fake;...

    Evaluation action

    The plot is not easy to understand. The director hides too many symbolic expressions related to the psychological mechanism between the fiction and the reality, but after thinking about it, Cronenberg did not simply stop at simply exposing the falsity and superficial intentions of Hollywood. Behind the hypocrisy of these Vanity Fairs, in fact, everyone is hiding their own pain and tragedy. The glamorous actress has always been under...
