After watching the movie, I realized that Marx was actually the director who discovered Norma, became famous with her, and became her first husband, but in the end, he accompanied her as a housekeeper.
Marx and Norma guarded the old villa on Sunset Boulevard, living a life isolated from reality. Marx forged letters from movie fans for Norma, played the piano for Norma, played movies for Norma, took a drive for Norma, and took care of all the housework for Norma. His words and deeds are like a well-trained British butler. It's just that this English housekeeper is slightly fatter.
When I say he gets fat, not only does he get fat physically, but his heart also gets fat and deforms.
I have never understood why everyone left her after Norma fell, but Marx stayed with her.
In the last scene of the movie, when the police rushed into Norma's villa and charged her with a camera, Norma lost control and thought it was the beginning of the film, performing Salome slowly down the steps. She seemed to live back to the screen again, showing her best side in front of the camera. At this time, Marx, guiding the camera, finally waited for this moment.
In fact, Marx has already lived with Norma. This star dream is not just Norma insisting on it alone, Norma’s brilliance is also Marx’s own brilliance.
This reminds me that at the 2009 Golden Horse Awards, Best Actress Li Bingbing choked to thank his team. The agent Ji Xiang held up the DV filming while crying on the stage. "I actually didn't want to cry. After all, I am a boy, but thinking about the past 7 years, we will come step by step..." Ji Xiang told reporters. He joined Li Bingbing's team in 2003. For seven years, he will not fall asleep before 3 a.m. every day, but he must get up before 9:30 a.m. He has never taken a vacation. The total vacation now is enough for half a year.
Marx is no longer Norma’s director, husband. He is just a by-product of a star made in the age of entertainment industrialization. On the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, how many people accompany such a star to fall?
