Creating Opportunities vs Waiting for Opportunities

Comet Beauty All About Eve (1950) - The 23rd Academy Award for Best Picture

has always felt that a lot of right and wrong in the entertainment industry are not groundless, just like the rise of Eve in Comet Beauty. It often takes a lot of effort to succeed, and some efforts are defined as unscrupulous. Eve is a good actress by nature, she's too good at disguising her life as a script. Only by hard work and waiting, success may not come, opportunity is very important. Eve's way of creating opportunities is not recognized by the universal concept, but she has to admit that she is a powerful master. If you were to be a sidekick by Margo's side for decades and create opportunities to become the Eve she is now, which one would you choose? I hesitated for a moment, even though I've always been disdainful of Eve's actions while watching the movie. Perhaps being there is another experience. The lines in the film are impressive, literary and elegant yet philosophical.
Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.
Keep your eyes on her. Don't let her get lonely. She's a loose lamb in a jungle. ( Look at her! Don't let her be lonely, she's a lost lamb in the jungle.)
I like that girl. That quality of quiet graciousness.

    Betty Davis and Anne Baxter are both great! Women struggle embarrassingly in an industry dominated by men, in addition to the microcosm of the industry, it also means a microcosm of society. Although I am dissatisfied with this normality, but when I saw Margo getting married, I felt that part of myself condemned this normality, and the other part was unconsciously inclined to such an arrangement?

    The Twilight Girl was eventually beaten to death on the beach. In fact, it foretells the birth of another unparalleled beauty. Monroe.

All About Eve quotes

  • Margo: Please don't play governess, Karen. I haven't your unyielding good taste. I wish *I* could have gone to Radcliffe, too, but Father wouldn't hear of it... He needed help behind the notions counter.

    Margo: [continues] I'm being rude now, aren't I? Or should I say "ain't I"?

    Addison DeWitt: You're maudlin and full of self-pity. You're magnificent.

  • Karen: [Eve walks in, carrying the fur coat of a new arrival to Margo's party] Who'd show up at this hour? It's time people went home. Hold that coat up.

    Karen: [Eve holds up a luxurious full-length fur coat, Karen lets out a whistle] Whose is it?

    Eve: Some Hollywood movie star's. Her plane got in late.

    Karen: Discouraging, isn't it? Women with furs like that where it never even gets cold.

    Eve: Hollywood.

    [tosses the fur coat on the bed]
