When the "high school girl Phoebe" who didn't know where she came from appeared in Eve's room, the audience should have known that a new "Eve" appeared.
"High school girl" was put in quotation marks because every word she said could not be judged true or false, and she could be acting at any time, just like Eve. Armed with Eve's lessons learned, we'll be as unsurprisingly unsurprising at these tricks as drama critic Addison, and have a knowing laugh before closing.
Probably the show business is like the last shot, countless high school girls Phoebe appear in the mirror, and there will always be Eve and Phoebe in the show business. They are young, beautiful, full of ambition, and have a good understanding of what they want and the way to go. It was extremely clear, they knew that one day, they would become that champion and hunter, win the gold trophy, kill the star-blooming, aging-looking senior, and replace him.
The most terrifying thing is not these bloodless fights, nor these young ambitions, but this radiant stage, even the ordinary corner of society that cannot be illuminated by lights, all believe in the law of the jungle, which is the law of the jungle. The people who control the game are happy to see that as long as there are ambitious young people, they can always continue the game and profit from it. It was so on Broadway in the 1950s, and it is still so everywhere today.
It is the squeezing and fighting that drives the transformation and evolution of every social form.
The story of "The Comet Beauty" is easy to use with voiceovers and camera perspectives, and finally returns to the beginning of the award ceremony at the end. With the thank-you speech of Eve, who is already star-studded, the expressions on the faces of everyone who is thanked are difficult to understand. Description, and Eve, they have their own secrets that cannot be known, and even transactions.
Except Margo.
Margot is the most naive character on the show. As a popular actor who has experienced brutal competition on Broadway, she seems to be a little distorted and naive, and the reflex arc is a match for Sagittarius. But anyway, she finally realized the reason why Mrs. Brown didn't like Eve, though it was too late.
The conversation, or rather the monologue, between her and Karen in the car was heartbreaking, with drama in her voice, her eyes, and even the lines between her eyebrows. Margot's awareness of love and self, especially the social destiny of "women", is undoubtedly pessimistic but full of insight. To gain a foothold in society, professional women had to let go of the “feminine qualities” men admired: gentleness, tolerance, empathy, even weakness, but in the end, most working women (and still are) Return to the family and become the role they will eventually become - "women", dealing with household chores, husbands and children. At the same time, men's aesthetics of women have been miraculously unchanged, and the femininity they like is usually nowhere to be found in professional women and housewives, because, in some process they have to transform, these Traits are consumed, or, in other words, replaced at the cost.
So this story is not just a Broadway story, but a story about the fate of women in society. Bette Davis's acting skills are really great. Apart from the character's characteristics, her performance always has some personal marks exclusive to "Bette Davis". Be it the crazy baby Jane in "The Surprise Change of Lan Girl", or Libby, the eccentric and difficult sister Libby who is more than 10 Virgos in "The Whale in August", most of the roles she has played are difficult to like, but It can never be summed up in one or two simple words. Behind the quirky, irritable, and even perverted character behaviors, there is always something innocent and moving. Her interpretation and expression of these complex characters make these characters It exudes a charming temperament, which is beyond the reach of most actresses of the same era.
As for Monroe, this is just passing by to make soy sauce, and the character itself is optional. If you look at her, you may feel that you are on the wrong set.
