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 he was driving to avoid debts, he accidentally broke into the deserted mansion of the former star Norma.
Norma is a 50-year-old star, surrounded by thousands of people at her best, and the absolute protagonist of the silent film era. With the commercialization reform of Hollywood movies, Norma's film stars and directors at the same time either reformed together or withdrew from the stage of history like her.
And Norma, suffering from depression, began to avoid the world.
Norma was unwilling to give up her dream like this, paranoid that she could return to the spotlight, so she grabbed the male protagonist to help her change the script, and fell in love with the male protagonist in the process.
The male protagonist began to feel: What a fool, rich woman, how easy is money to deceive!
Slowly: emmmmm, this woman doesn't seem to be mentally ill... But for the sake of making money, I endure it...
Suddenly: what? She actually misses my beauty! Threatened me with suicide!
After some struggle: Forget it, I'm too poor, let me compromise...
However, with the continuous encouragement and discovery of the cute little girl Betty, he began to regain his dream and slowly wanted to live a normal life with the young girl.
Just when he felt that his life was about to see the light of day, the rich woman who was manipulated by jealousy called the mistress she thought to expose the truth.
The male protagonist simply gave up on himself and brought Betty to the mansion to see him being fostered.
After he and Betty blew, he neatly packed his bags and planned to get out, and by the way told Norma that she had been forgotten and could never return to the stage.
The rich woman, sad to the point of insanity, killed him.
...
...
Yes, it is such a bereavement story.
I heard that it is to attack Hollywood's star-making culture?
Obviously the heroine has a bigger problem...
The reemployment of a star is a difficult problem. She has so much money, what is wrong with her, she has to live in the glory of the past, and let the rest of her life be a shadow.
As the male protagonist said, 50 years old is not scary at all, but I always thought that living at 25 would be quite scary.
Even if I die and be nailed in a coffin, I will still be in the tomb, shouting out with this rotten vocal cord: How wrong is the male protagonist's death?
He didn't focus on eating soft food, and he didn't plan to kill the rich woman to steal her property. People who broke up with the rich woman and didn't even take away a single piece of clothing were shot and killed by the rich woman three times in a row.
What a human tragedy...
