For many directors and actors, Hollywood has always been a place they can't let go of. Los Angeles, because Hollywood exudes endless charm, seems to be the most authoritative and sacred movie hall. Filming in Hollywood is a place that every filmmaker can't let go of. dream. Billy Wilder is a pivotal director in the world's film industry and one of the greatest directors in American film history. Film magazines have published articles in memory of him many times. I've seen feature articles about his films countless times before I've seen them. Until today I finally started sitting in front of my computer watching one of his famous movies, Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard is the most famous road in Los Angeles, and it is full of luxurious villas inhabited by important Hollywood figures. The film is a metaphor for the decline of silent film by the living conditions of a star in the silent film era. In the film, you can see the heroine's rich expressions and gestures, which are exactly the way actors perform in the silent film era, including when the heroine excitedly performed Chaplin's classic movie clips for her boyfriend in the film, we couldn't help but Moved by the cuteness of the heroine, with the development of the film industry, silent films are gradually forgotten. This is the cruel and dark side of DreamWorks. We can read the director's indignation and powerful irony at the degeneration of the film industry at that time, just as The heroine said in the film: "I am still a big star, but the screen has become smaller." She is obsessed with silent films beyond people's imagination, but the real silent film is just like the name of the movie. sinks and disappears. And we can only reminisce again and again, full of helpless resentment and sadness.

This movie reminds me of another movie named after the real road "Mulholland Drive", the creator of this movie is the pinnacle of Hollywood's all-rounder director David Lynch, I can't imagine how this director could With such profound artistic attainments, this film is a mystery. Many film critics have to interpret this film based on Freud's psychology. In fact, a really good film does not need interpretation and analysis. The analysis of many poems destroys its original artistic conception and charm. The film's strange, charming and dreamlike audio-visual language exudes infinite charm, making people wander between reality and dreams. The fear in people's heart makes some sensual things concrete and tangible. Mulholland Road is also a road near Hollywood. This film makes Hollywood shrouded in a bit of mystery and weirdness, like a nightmare that can't be escaped. People's desires, feelings, jealousy, and fear are mixed in it, making people follow the protagonist to the brink of collapse step by step.

The story about Hollywood has also seen a film called "Barton Funk", which is a classic of the Coen brothers. It tells the story of a writer who went to Los Angeles to develop after becoming famous in a small local city, trying to make a breakthrough in Hollywood and taking over the first place. A movie script could not be completed on time. Finally, after a series of events, he finally found the inspiration for the creation and completed the script, but the script was not approved by the producer in the end. woman,,,,,,,
I think the success of this film is the portrayal of the typical character Button Funk and the predicament he encountered when he first came to Hollywood, I think this typical character is not a person, but represents a group, a lot of people trying to go to Hollywood The writers who wrote the script may have encountered the same situation. This is close to real life. At the same time, this is also a story full of suspense. From the time the woman died in his bed in the film, the film began to really attract people. , is also the climax of the film, and the source of inspiration slowly begins to flow. In fact, this film is also a mix of reality and illusion. I think the illusion started when Patton called the woman in the room, and even until the end He saw the woman by the sea in the painting, and I still can't figure out the purpose of the last picture, or the purpose of the waves hitting the rocks twice in the film, but I think these shots are particularly fascinating. The charm of the movie lies in its mysterious, enigmatic plot, and enigmatic ending. In fact, the answer is what you think it is. Good movies bring different psychological feelings to everyone. There is no right or wrong. You just need to enjoy the process.
