Unreal is more real than real. Margot, Eva, and Phoebe, one is a past star, one is a current star, and the other wants to be a star. Phoebe means the star's past, Eva means the star's present, and Margo means the star's future. In order to become famous, Eva did everything she could, from fans to assistants, from substitutes to protagonists, deceit, extortion, sexual bribes, and everything. In the end, she finally became famous, and she also had fans and substitutes. I don’t know when will also be replaced. The film features actress Bette Davis, who is second only to Katharine Hepburn in film history, and Anne Baxter, who starred in the Ten Commandments and Confessions. Surprisingly, this film also has Marilyn Monroe, who only plays a supporting role, but it is amazing enough. This movie is destined to be constantly mentioned, it is ahead of its time, it is never out of date. It's a movie from 1950, and it's not out of date now.

    "The Comet Beauty" doesn't just provide a model for a scheming actress. It's also about theater, the confusion about female identity that both aging, arrogant female stars and gentle writer's wives can't escape. After reading it, the little brother next to him said that he didn't understand it. Maybe he really couldn't understand the subtle jealousy and unease in the middle. Margo, who finally admitted to aging and changes, retreated, and those who are still in the game will have to wear a mask made of thousands of lies and face a thousand new Eves in the mirror. A theater season is a lifetime, and that's the real sadness.

    The script of the movie back then was so important.
