Also with Hollywood as the theme, it presents the commercial production process of many studios, exposing the reality and cruelty, especially the ups and downs of star fame! Although the story is very dramatic, it also presents the face of Hollywood stars realistically, so it is so moving. Judy Garland is impeccable, whether it's the joyous song and dance scenes or the mournful emotional flow. The actor James Mason's acting skills are also remarkable . After

checking the information, I found out that the story of "The Rising and Falling of the Stars" was filmed three times in total. This version of George Cook is already the second remake, and the third remake is Barbra Streisand's "Tears in the Stars." But I haven't seen this one

    It's too long, the story is actually very simple, and the interspersed singing and dancing parts are a bit blunt.

    8/10. After quitting the band, I opened the door and walked downstairs alone. The setting sun in the early morning made a clear orange light. The camera shot was very soothing and romantic. The simple honeymoon trip in the motel penetrated the green light mixed with the depressed tone, suggesting that the two would be separated in the future; and mirrors and other props to enrich mood changes: the doctors of the plastic surgery clinic commented on the nose of the female protagonist in the laryngoscope, and the composition and reflection shooting created a sense of loss. Appearance is inferior, followed by audition on the set, the projector lights are dazzling and the cowboy shootout is a Western movie with a native horse team, the sound is harsh, the studio's large fonts and star posters are reflected by the small figure and the revolving door is stuck, a symbol of the system. Unemployed husband at home rehearsing and choreographing, posing on tables, chairs and sofas, using cigarettes, pillows, plant leaves and lampshades as stage fog, harp and hats, performing piece shooting in front of the curtain to represent integration into the system, and wiping tears at the end The handkerchief (connecting the sense of space) floated past the husband's bedroom, and the crying husband was heard throwing himself into the sea and using the glass window to superimpose it. The studio system represented by the husband is gone forever.

A Star Is Born quotes

  • Norman Maine: Of course you're scared! We all are! What makes you think you wouldn't be?

  • Vicki Lester: He's in a sanitarium. He really wants to stop drinking, Oliver. He's trying very hard. I know he is. What is it? What is it that makes him want to destroy himself? You've known him longer than anyone else. Tell me what it is. Please. I don't care but just tell me.

    Oliver Niles: Don't you think I've tried through the years to know why, to help him? I don't know, Esther. I don't know what the answer is.

    Vicki Lester: Well, I've got to find the answer. You don't know what it's like to watch somebody you love just crumble away bit by bit and day by day in front of your eyes and stand there helpless. Love isn't enough. I thought it was. I thought I was the answer for Norman. But love isn't enough for him. And I'm afraid of what's beginning to happen within me... because... sometimes I hate him. I hate his promises to stop and then the watching and waiting to see it begin again. I hate to go home to him at night and listen to his lies. My heart goes out to him because he tries - he does try. But I hate him for failing. I hate me, too. I hate me cause I've failed, too. I have. I don't know what's going to happen to us, Oliver. No matter how much you love somebody... how do you live out the days?
