Interested in actors and acting

This is a hard-to-watch movie, but it gets better as you watch it, directed by Robert Altman, who won this year's Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.

The 3-hour group show, the 3-hour acting class, the stars are unbelievable, and they do their best, and the scale of the female stars is also surprising. For example, I never thought Julianne Moore would be naked for so long.

Watching this movie reminds me of the TV series "Desperate Housewives". This time it is upgraded to desperate people and desperate families. It is best to divide it into 3 sections, 1 section per hour. The first section explains the basic situation of the characters and the general environment, The second part of the relationship between characters and the development of events, the third part of the outbreak, the turning point, a lot of humor in the middle, but most of them are uncomfortable, embarrassing, depressing, helpless, cruel, which also comes from life .

It would be more difficult for me to dig deeper into the themes or satirical objects in the film, which probably requires a certain understanding of the local culture and politics in the United States at that time.
