【Comet Beauty】"ALL ABOUT EVA"

Guiseppe 2022-04-20 09:01:34

The movie is too complicated, the only thing I watch is the awakening of Margot (Bette Davis) to love - from her jealousy, messing around, worrying about gains and losses, to letting go of all pride and self-esteem for love and ecstasy and throwing herself into the arms of marriage and family. this epiphany process. Margot pretends to be drunk and asks the pianist to play "Dream of Love" over and over again. I feel sorry for Karen (Celester Holm) in the car because of guilt and anxiety. Ava plays tricks. The ruthless face is hated, and Monroe's beauty is also fascinating. All the glory halos are like a mirage of foam phantoms, instantly disillusioned and collapsed.

All About Eve quotes

  • Lloyd Richards: Karen, let me tell you about Eve. She's got everything - a born actress. Sensitive, understanding, young, exciting, vibrant...

    Karen: Don't run out of adjectives, dear.

  • Karen: [narrating] Newton, they say, thought of gravity by getting hit on the head by an apple. And the man who invented the steam-engine, he was watching a teakettle. But not me. My big idea came to me just sitting on a couch. That boot in the rear to Margo. Heaven knows, she had one coming. From me, from Lloyd, from Eve, Bill, Max and so on. We'd all felt those size fives of hers often enough. But how? The answer was buzzing around me like a fly. I had it. But I let it go. Screaming and calling names is one thing, but this could mean...

    Karen: [continues] Why not? "Why," I said to myself, "not?" It would all seem perfectly legitimate. And only two people in the world would know. Also, the boot would land where it would do the most good for all concerned. After all, it was no more than a harmless joke which Margo herself would be the first to enjoy. And no reason why she shouldn't be told about it... in time.

    Karen: [on the phone, calling Eve to let her in on her little "joke"] Hello. Will you please call Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
