All About Theatre

1. My biggest point is that I think the focus of this film (this is just my personal opinion, after all, I don't want to suspect the original intention of the director or any other person involved in making the film, that is very disrespectful) or rather this The reason why the film is valued by so many film associations and so on (more than the general audience, as opposed to films like Shawshank) is because it discusses the theater - not just the discussion, but the lines are filled with people who only understand theatreThose elements that those who understand performance understand: such as acting and make-believe; actors, screenwriters and directors each in a play (or any performance, or even a movie, although this movie did not mention it) - I thought of the Bill T Jones documentary I watched in ESem class, how it subverted my view of "dancers" and "performers", no longer just "a body with a voice, no mind", is used by the director as a tool to express what he wants to express, but because the Jewish girl has her own story, which is most vivid in her own physical expression, and is combined with what Bill wants to express And form the most wonderful combo; and those little details that are subtle (or not) refer to theatre term.

2. The point of Woman actually pops up a little later, and actually speaking of women has a lot to do with my third point, not trying to be a sexist. Woman is an interesting topic that never goes out of style. How funny and so clichéd. Both this topic and women themselves I mean. Bill can't understand why Margo has become so grumpy, possessive and "psychotic" because of Eve (as he calls her, obviously), Margo doesn't explain but says, it's obvious you're not a woman. And Margo talking to Karen in the car about women couldn't have been better, honest and sarcastic, so classic - not trying to bring all the gender talk (including Butler, yes) into this but, the way Margo put it was such a nice reflection of both the construction of women themselves (well obviously more on the straight side for she did mention the role men play in a woman's career) and of social conventions

. Quote it:
It's funny, a woman's career. The things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not. Being a woman. Sooner or later we've got to work at it. No matter how many careers we've had or wanted. And in the last analysis, nothing is any good unless you can look up just before dinner, or turn around in bed and there he is. Without that you're not a woman.

3. Utility. I really still think this is a must to set up a story, not to mention that this is a classic theme anyway, it is better to use this as the theme to set up an ingenious story, although my intention of insist theatre and performance is more praised, Although not many people see it. The specific plot is too nasty to say, including a new-generation "Eve" at the end, but I am very happy with the ending of Margo. She can start living her own life—seriously, a real life: how ironic that she's not caring about Cory, the role Eve begged for; she's starting to live the life of a woman.

Et c'est ca.
