Untitled love story.

I will always admit to some extent that Norma, a middle-aged actress who is still wealthy despite the sunset, has a certain material attraction to Joe, a down-and-out screenwriter who can't afford the high rent. Norma prepares a gorgeous tuxedo that complements Joe's perfect shoulder shape; buys a life of singing and dancing, and plays every night; pays the other party to buy the cigarettes he wants to buy for her. "All I ask is for you to be a little gentle and a little kind." She just wanted a little gentle. And Joe turned to flirting with the young girl Betty until the point; hugged and kissed in embarrassment, and finally refused rationally. Emotions between characters are always complex but spontaneous. At the moment when the reality of economic pressure acquiesced to Norma's extravagant "nurturing life" and the growth of his sickly love, no matter how Joe insisted on his creation and life in the middle, and how he was finally separated from this eternal life, I Think I've seen the end.

    The last scene Norma walks down the steps and into the camera, getting closer and then out of focus and fades out. This timeless and classic scene is not only a satire of the star system, but also a typical Billy-style bitterness. Holden looks so amazing, especially when she puts on the dress, she's amazing, wait, am I focusing on the wrong thing?

    The film is absolutely classic, that is, if she is so rich, it would be nice to marry Feng Xiaogang, and she will definitely customize a big-name drama like Party A and Party B. Starting with the tone of the murdered, is the address really 10086 on Sunset Boulevard? The Chinese subtitles were added by themselves. The old lady said that the constellation was really drunk.

Sunset Blvd. quotes

  • Norma Desmond: You heard him. I'm a star.

    Joe Gillis: Norma, you're a woman of 50, now grow up. There's nothing tragic about being 50, not unless you try to be 25.

    Norma Desmond: The greatest star of them all.

  • Norma Desmond: Those idiot producers. Those imbeciles. Haven't they got any eyes? Have they forgotten what a star looks like? I'll show them! I'll be up there again, so help me!
