After all, after half a century of disappearance, all kinds of gossips have been picked up so much that they have no freshness.
For example, in order to compete for the headline position on the right, Joan and Betty sat unceremoniously on the chair on the right that Joan opened, and Joan simply stood on the right of Betty.
This kind of coffee grab is not new to everyone. Everyone is tired of hearing the story that every actress has to end when they walk the red carpet.
The whole play has almost achieved the restoration of the two protagonists.
Even Joan used witch hazel to soak her face in ice cubes and the daily details in the drama are all restored.
Is this drama just to restore the peak of mutual hatred and tearing between the two movie queens in "The Surprising Change of Lan Gui"?
At the beginning, I borrowed the words of Catherine Zeta Jones: No.
(Yes, another actress only starred in a supporting role, this invincible cast)
Where is their pain?
The main pain comes from having passed the peak, aging.
The lines keep appearing in the play:
Betty said: I was 40 years old and I swore I would never be like that, but now, I am...
Joan was acting coquettish with the boss of the film company, but the boss pushed her away and said, "It's already disgusting to act like a spoiled child after your 45th birthday, and it's even more disgusting now...
Yes, inevitable aging.
Just like the portrait of Joan hanging at home, it is bright and radiant, but it was only that year;
like a roller coaster rushing over the top, after that, it is a downward rush.
Facing the silence after the commanding heights, Betty and Joan made different choices.
Joan chooses alcohol
Betty continued to work, taking on stage plays, TV shows, and even newspapers looking for work.
But she never played any major roles again.
There is a scene in the play where the director of "The Surprising Change of Lan Gui" went to see Betty on the set of a TV series and said, "You're great, look, you're filming again now."
Betty said: come on, this is just a TV series.
A very interesting detail. In this episode, a lot of "Big Little Lies" and Nicole Kidman appeared in the barrage of station A, and the two dramas have another intersection here.
Yeah, how can a TV show be compared to a movie? Tranquility quit the entertainment industry when she was most popular, and when she came back, she only received TV series, she once said, "My boss didn't want it at that time, I felt that the camera of the crew was much smaller than the movie camera, and the lights were also small. ..."
Well, the topic of "TV series" ends here.
In addition to the loneliness after the peak, their other major pain is men.
They are all women who appear to be at the top of the pyramid and don't need any men.
No, as you can tell from the show, they have always been manipulated by men.
The script that Joan finds herself also depends on the male director, and the male director finds the bosses of various male film and television companies.
Finally, Betty and Joan can get along well on the set, but the investors and the director want them to fight so that they can have more value, more news, and more money. It can be said that the fight between the two was provoked by the man.
Just like the animation at the beginning, the two women fighting back and forth are just dolls in the hands of men. (The title is really good.)
Of course, with the progress of the times, the status of women will definitely improve. In the play, even mother Sita has such a consciousness and encourages the assistant director to be a female director herself.
But Joan declined the assistant's offer. Is it because she herself, as a woman, doesn't give women a chance?
no.
Obviously, the screenwriter's expression of the rights of men and women wants to go deeper. After all, reality is never that simple.
The downhill after the peak, the man's manipulation, if these are the background of the story, then the need to be recognized is the pain that everyone in the play faces.
Even supporting roles like the director and assistant director are eager for recognition.
As mentioned earlier, the assistant director wants to be a female director on his own.
The director himself does not only want to be a second-rate director.
After the success of "The Surprise Change of Lan Girl", he asked the investors, do you think I have the slightest potential to become a first-class director?
Investors replied with pity: No.
This scene is super SDA, when fighting against fate, is it that even if you step on the cloud with a golden hoop, you can't turn over the palm of the Buddha's hand?
After interviewing a famous writer last year, the old man said: We have all accepted that the achievements of this life will not exceed our father's. But we are all looking for our own direction, and we are all contributing to our Weibo in our respective fields...
When I heard him say this, I held back my tears very hard.
Talent and hard work have never been a topic in one dimension.
Joan no doubt worked hard. Find the script by yourself, find the director by yourself, and find Betty by yourself to work with.
In the first scene, she was very satisfied when she saw the smiling and tearful expressions of her past movies; however, when she saw that Betty had just put on makeup and walked into the light, she was already the subject to be performed. You know, this is the difference between genius and ground.
That's probably why Joan endures everything and invites nasty people to work with, and wants to be recognized as a genius.
What about Betty? As an invincible talented actress, she is still obsessed with the best actress Oscar. She obviously already has two golden statues! I still want to prove that I can continue to act.
The last episode is simply depressing, lonely old life, unimaginable.
But in general, although under the tone of SAD, everyone sees the barriers and shackles of fate, but still struggles in their own way, continues to move forward, does not compromise, does not give up, and fights to the last moment . From this point of view, it is really positive energy.
If "Big Little Lies" is a drama with two Oscar-winning actresses on the same stage, then "Betty and Joan", a play in which two out-of-date queens perform the other two out-of-date queens, is simply acting out of the screen. .
It is also a drama about women tearing up X. After watching it, you will know that it is all to encourage everyone to move forward with a heavy load...
