Read it many times.
(It's not a serious film review, but I can't write a short review, so let's put it here)
Brody's Detective gave me a feeling of Raymond's Marlowe.
I don't think the whole story is a detective story. It's just a narrative angle to tell about the terroir of Hollywood and the "Superman" actors who have a lot of desires in this Vanity Fair, but in the end they didn't get anything. story.
For George, it's Mrs. Mannix's words, "This is the best you can do, I can see why you can't?" His agent appreciated him, and at the same time found him to some extent. Destiny, he finally said to Seymour, "He has the face of a movie actor, but why doesn't he?"
But it does not mean that George is a negative example of a fan of the authorities, No judgement. And there are many such people in life. Life itself is a melancholy emptiness with a lot of happiness, happiness, sadness, pain, emotions and six desires, but Life is supposed to be melancholy. George didn't expect too much of himself, he just expected too much from life.
I actually still like the character of Seymour very much. He and George have something in common. They both pursue their own careers, pursue themselves, and become their true selves. But behind this mystery, Seymour seems to see the limitations of his own destiny through George. This character also has a little bit of the iconic tough-guy detective Marlowe feeling, a little stubborn, strong, and a little confused, very resonant, some of his persistence and some of his loneliness after seeing through at the same time make This character is charming.
