Welcome to Netflix's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
Friendly reminder: please treat this drama as a lighthearted comedy.
I admit I was initially drawn to "Sheldon" Jim Parsons.
I haven't seen the full episodes of "Hollywood", but I have seen a moving picture of "Sheldon" dancing in a red dress on Weibo, I have to admit, I am eager to see, "Women's clothing boss What role did Sheldon" play, and why did he dance with a serious face in a woman's long dress.
As it turns out, Jim Parsons didn't let me down at all.
In the American drama "Hollywood", he played a very mean and very sinister agent Henry, and he was also a hidden gay.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was very imposing, using a very commanding tone to set off Locke, who was still a newcomer, like a little white rabbit that entered the wolf's den. And he also openly issued instructions to Lawson to unspoken rules for him.
Why so guilt-free?
Because this is Hollywood, you have to give to get something in return.
You can't see Sheldon at all from Henry. But his image is also very complete. From the annoying image of the superior at the beginning, to the courage to apologize to the original Locke, and even to make a movie for the gay community, his image is full and three-dimensional. . When he went to threaten the reporter who wanted to break the news, his face was calm, but the words he said were extremely vicious; at the awards party, he asked the boss for the trophy with some prayers, and he looked sideways and tried to get close to the camera, but he was inexplicably pitiful. And cute.
As for the relationship between the real Henry Wilson and Rock Hudson in history, it is more complicated than in the play, and the real story is far less complete than in the play. But Henry did single-handedly create the superstar Hudson. He not only helped Locke change his image, but also helped Locke hide his sexuality, and even arranged a marriage to hide it from the world.
This is definitely a successful agent who knows how to use the character to win more followers for his artists,
Speaking of the plot, in a nutshell, "Hollywood" tells the story of a few young people chasing their dreams of Hollywood, but this pursuit happens to be integrated in the context of the era of racial discrimination, gender equality, and homosexuality's struggle for rights. The success of young people is particularly difficult.
Raymond Asian director; Camille black actress; Archie black screenwriter; Anna May Wong Asian actress; other than these three actors Claire, Jack, Rock have not yet dealt with these issues of race, but as newcomers, the three of them People are really in a hurry to act.
Therefore, this show used the first 3 episodes to gather all the actors and directors, and used the last 4 episodes to make a movie "Meg" that made everyone famous, creating a new era and opening the female leader. era at the helm.
Of course, the end of the story must be happy.
"Meg" won the Oscar for best actress, best director, best screenwriter and many other awards in one fell swoop.
Everyone has gained true love, including the female head whose husband has been cheating for ten years, has found true love again, and has become good friends with his daughter.
Although the male protagonist Jack did not win the Oscar, he successfully divorced his ex-wife who had no love. He also fell in love with the daughter of a film and television boss, and asked for a marriage while taking advantage of the awards party.
Daughter is so beautiful!
Of course, with the blessing of the male protagonist's halo, how can Jack be a "Chen Shimei" who abandoned his wife and children at the beginning of his career, so in the play, Jack's little wife is arranged to cheat, and two or three scenes are used to express that Jack is in a quagmire. Untainted, although he can "dream" at the gas station and sell his body, he is absolutely unwilling to commit himself to a man, even if it means the end of his acting career, such a "honest and pure" male protagonist.
My favorite in the show is the pair of Archie (black screenwriter) and Rock.
Although the two first met on the scene, their relationship was real. After going through the secrecy at first to make a living, the two cuties finally decided to work together to face the ups and downs of the outside world, and even openly kissed their gay lover at the Oscars ceremony.
You know, it was a time when everyone avoided homosexuality like a femme fatale, not to mention that Archie was still a fledgling person of color.
Of course, the play also involves a lot of real people in history.
For example, my favorite actress Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind. I can't imagine that Vivien Leigh in "Hollywood" has such an image. It's just that there is no beauty that can run wild in Oak Village. It's such an unbearable and somewhat neurotic image (of course, there may be factors that reflect reality).
Please give me back Vivien Leigh, who is shining in her eyes.
I still have a question, are all the big directors and screenwriters in Hollywood hidden GAY?
In addition, the heroine of "Meg" really looks too much like the dragon mother in "Game of Thrones", except for the difference in skin color.
