"Sunset Boulevard" is a film directed by Billy Wilder that deconstructs the Hollywood system. The humorous dialogue and ingenious structure of the whole film are unforgettable.
The way the deceased opened the story quickly caught my interest. Through unidentified male corpses, investigations into the cause of death, and narration descriptions, it shows the struggles of a group of soul writers and female movie stars in the silent film era.
The narration narration in the movie is very unforgettable to me. This male writer's narration feels "unbelievable" but "extremely real", absurd and gorgeous.
The grasp of the film's rhythm and structure can be said to be perfect. It can be said that the film is the interpretation of two women and two lines: the sponsor of material security, and the female screenwriter who provides creative inspiration. Accidental encounter with two women, identity confirmation, pity and affection, accompanying creation and final betrayal.
About the "Salome" that Norma mentioned many times. Salome is as love-hate as Norma. Falling in love with Saint John was rejected. Because of love and hatred, what you can't get is destroyed, which reflects Norma's crazy character.
Why do we feel weird and terrifying? It's because this villa is full of lies, and because it's a corner forgotten by the times.
