The former stage queen Margaux, whether out of sensitivity to women or out of jealousy, after seeing the signs of the intention of Ava's actions, she was not humble and cautious, but still went her own way, arrogant and arrogant, asking the troupe from funding to choreographing and directing. They all revolve around her, and when they are dissatisfied, they lose their temper and complain; instead of sincerely turning to friends and lovers, they accuse them, objectively pushing them to the opposite side, and Emma succeeds. It's kind of sad that Margaux ended up in disrepute. That Ava, very scheming. First pretended to be a super "fan" of Margaux, fabricated a pitiful life experience, deceived the trust of Margaux and her close friends, became Margaux's secretary and valet, and took action step by step: learn Margaux stealthily her acting skills; to do what Margaux did and Margaux didn’t, and to justify “you are too busy, I did it for you”; to look pitifully wronged when necessary; to beg Margaux’s close friend for her Scheduling auditions, etc., do whatever it takes. In the end, she succeeded, but it still fell into the hands of Edson, the big old man who can call the wind and rain in the show business. When she came home with the trophy, a girl like Ava was in her room. Obviously, she's going to be another Margaux. "Mantis catches cicada, oriole is behind". Director Bill, screenwriter Rowe and Margaux's close friend Karen and others were first deceived by Ava's pure and lovely appearance, dissatisfied with Margaux's arrogance and persuaded them, but with their life experience and intelligence Ingenuity, it is impossible not to detect Ava's intentions, and it is impossible not to realize the danger of Margaux's situation. But they all left Margaux in the end, and it cannot be said that there is no selfishness and dark psychology in their hearts. That Karen, who said it was to give Margot a warning and resorted to such a "trick", was really out of a dark psychology. In the end, it was "shooting yourself in the foot". Throughout the whole play, judging from the actions and endings of all these characters in the play, the film seems to remind the world that no matter what the real environment is, whether it is smooth or dangerous, the basic principles of being a human being cannot be lost.

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?
