It is also a war between two women, but "The Enemy: Betty and Joan" does not place the battle of women in the competition for favor of the opposite sex. Even if the competition for the favor of men is part of it, it is more about discussing women's desire for The price of achievement and fame is greater and heavier than men in any age. Such an implicit theme can be seen even from the title of the film. The concise and dark paper-cut collage depicts the almost lifelong "fight" of the two heroines, and behind the "fight" is the desire for achievement and fame, the thirst for fair judgment and recognition from the world, and the unbelieving struggle against fate for the rest of the life. , until the tragic routine that cannot be escaped in the end. Joan Crawford and Bette Davis really are two sides of the same coin: those who have the beauty desire to speak with their acting skills, and those who have the acting skills are sometimes overlooked because of their looks. Compared with some dazzling big stars of the same period or even younger generations, their road to fame seems to be more bumpy. Since neither of them has enough weight, they will naturally regard each other as clear competitors. In the same show, they also tried their best to get the golden statue before the other party. Whether it is to use men or create troubles, they always turn against each other when they are about to become friends. This is the war between women. It is open and scheming, and it is full of sparks when it meets opponents. However, behind all this hotness, the helplessness of the meat on the cutting board can be seen. Joan doesn't have to fight with Betty, and Betty definitely doesn't want to stay away from Joan. In the pseudo-recorded interview, in the episodes where the two did not appear in the film, we can see that the big box office bosses deliberately created problems for the sake of marketing and fueled their war. How hard it is for a star to "make a living" again. The two women, who should have sympathized with each other because of their similar circumstances, looked a little ugly because they were rushing to eat the leftovers next to the big cake. But can you underestimate them? Looking down on this effort to be able to do the only thing they are good at in the cruel entertainment circle? Celebrities have more right and wrong, and female stars have more right and wrong. It's too easy for a male star to make mistakes, and it's too easy for a female star to retire from the arena if they make a mistake. So "enemy: Betty and Joan" is not so much a show of lace news, but a reflection on that era. But the reflection on that era is still so accurate now, because many years have passed, and the war between women is still not on the table. The women on the screen still seem to only be able to embroider their legs. Once there is a big problem, there must be a male backer, especially, always, probably always, in domestic dramas. Fortunately, we can also see Betty and Joan.
