After watching so many American dramas, this is the first time I encounter a title that I won't skip every episode! Maybe although the filming was based on the content of the 1960s and 1970s, because it is a modern drama itself, the soundtrack seems to have a sense of age, and the force came up all at once. The animation silhouette is also very interesting, it is almost a summary of the plot, and the characters have the style of the time.
Maybe it's because of his own character, although I can understand why there is such a long-term and profound contradiction between Betty and Joan, and there is no empathy.
The two women thought that it was a battle of betting on their past achievements and personal reputation, and whoever won would be able to climb back to the top of the entertainment industry. In fact, this was a trap set by the film company for them. The studios deliberately facilitated their rivalry to increase the film's attention and profits.
I just want them to fight as fiercely as possible, and the worse the situation, the better. When they hysterically competed and slandered each other, the studios enjoyed the increased attention, the gossip reporters added fuel to their hysterical slander against each other, and Hollywood and even the whole world looked at their indecentness as an afterthought. Choppy chat.
The contradictions between the two began to accumulate when they entered the entertainment industry. The co-starring of "The Surprise of Langui" officially broke out. The war should have ended at the end of the filming, but the two refused to give up, and it continued until Joan's death.
As the movie said, they could have become very good friends. They are actors of the same era, they also suffered from being neglected when they got older, and they are also single mothers. But these elements also constitute a perfect competitive relationship. In the same field, the more similar the competition, the more intense the competition. If you want to become friends, you must make concessions in some aspects, but in a living environment like Hollywood, you can only survive by sticking to your own one-third of an acre. How can you give up any point?
In her fantasy before her death, Joan finally realized that the film company and the reporter's "friends" only had a relationship with her. She bit Betty and didn't let it go. It was just a matter of her will. If she had had this vision earlier, even during the filming of "The Surprising Change of Lan Girl", I thought that she would not wake up and would still choose to "fight" with Betty and live to the original ending.
Betty and Joan are playthings of Hollywood and the media. They didn't see the truth under the clamor and took their lives to play. But few people can keep their rationality and remain calm amid the 24/7 media hype.
