At that time, Hollywood movies didn't show up, they didn't come out, they only told stories in a down-to-earth way. Every line, every scene is exquisite. Theatrical turns are all stuck on point. Emotional pushes follow professional skills without showing off.
The valuable thing about this movie is that it is a Hollywood introspection. It admits that the unspoken rules of this flashy place, although not all, have entered the circle. It examines itself, exposes cruelty, and understands human weaknesses.
The scene in which Norman committed suicide is lightly contrasted with grief, and the plot is symmetrical to set off tears. The audience knew it was Norman saying goodbye to Lester, but Lester didn't, so her overflowing surprise poked the audience's heart. A helpless person, her pillar of life is about to collapse, what should she do? Fortunately, the end gave a proper answer. Danny's few words were as clear as ice, poking straight into the question's eyes, making Lester's reinvigoration with sufficient rationality. In the end, she said to the public with a trembling voice, "Hello everyone, I'm Mrs. Norman Maine", which was enough to bring this nearly three-hour movie to a regret-free end. Emotional accents are picked up clean and beautiful.
We let the curtain fall with confidence, and recalled several images in the future: the lipstick heart painted by Norman on the theater wall, Norman's silhouette slowly walking into the orange ocean, and Norman suddenly stopped Lester, "Hi", Lester turned back "Huh?", Norman smiled and stared at her "I just wanted to see you again", Lester smiled knowingly, turned and walked into the room. Leaving behind Norman's following eyes, and the smiling face that gradually disappeared.
For a man as sensitive and proud as Norman, Hollywood is the culprit, not alcohol. His pride was eaten away, and he came to the end of his life. Relatively speaking, Leicester is simple and soft, but it is more suitable for surviving to the end in the Colosseum full of chains.
In the courtroom, the judge asked Norman: "You have so many advantages, but look at what you have done?" In fact, the advantages are also disadvantages. Even if you are born with jade in your mouth, it depends on your personality whether you can handle it or not. If you can't take it, then you are limited by karma. The jade fell to the ground and flipped, with "sin" written on the back.
