when the curtain falls

I love music and love baldness, and I shed tears when the curtain falls.

The evaluation of this film is not as good as an interpretation of Kevin.Spacey.
In this film, Bald shows his talents in singing, dancing, acting, and directing.
Everything else is fine, that is, as a director, he is a bit bald.
How much this film does not perform Bobby Darin, of course, I am not a director and I am not qualified to comment.

In my imagination (also a long-awaited movie), it should be a picture full of that kind of shabby feeling, some quiet fragments, can make readers more intriguing.

This film lacks such a quiet meaning. Although it is a musical film, it is a little noisy as an interpretation of Bobby Darin's life.

However, this film still shows its style, the pursuit of color, and the quality of the picture are all the tastes embodied by the upper-class people. From now on, it can also be seen that the bald taste is also good.

And Bald also fully demonstrated his talent through this film, letting people know that people like him on Oscar's podium twice are not in vain. Although I think he might be able to do better.

My favorite is definitely the songs of this film. Many of the bald sings are indeed comparable to, or even better than, the original sung. But maybe it's because Bald is older than Bobby Darin, so Bald sings more steady vicissitudes and less passionate joy for the song "Beyond the Sea". And Bobby's passionate little details can't be surpassed by baldness.

The other thing I want to say is that I don’t know if Bald has found his own mapping of life by choosing to shoot the show. At the age of 47, he is still unmarried, and it seems that he has been running around for the movie. When this film was at the Berlin Film Festival, Bald held a press conference to publicize it. At that time, he looked so tired (heartache). It is a pity that although this film has received multiple nominations, it still has not received final praise. After the recent performance of Superman Returns, Bald also admitted frankly that since AB, he feels that he can't do better. I think I'm always looking for myself like Darin on the way to baldness. Hope the baldness succeeds~!

Beyond the Sea quotes

  • Mary Duvan: [after Sandra and Bobby get engaged] I wished you had concentrated more on Rock Hudson.

    Sandra Dee: Rock Hudson is a very nice man, Mother, but I'm not in love with him.

    Mary Duvan: He still would have made a better husband than that "BOBBY DARIN"!

  • Sandra Dee: Bobby, why do you sing the same songs every night? Isn't it boring?

    Bobby Darin: Well, honey, it's an act. What do you expect me to do, sing different songs every night?

    Sandra Dee: Why not? I don't the same movies every time.

    Bobby Darin: Well, actually, you do. Sweet little innocent Sandy.

    Sandra Dee: Uh, excuse me. Excuse me, but I think I know what people want in the movies nowadays, okay? You may be the expert in music, but I... *I* have had years of movie experience.

    Bobby Darin: Not bad, San. Would have been even better if you'd said it without the slur in your voice.
