In addition to the perspective of stars and fans, the feminist perspective is also worth discussing, which is quite interesting. It's a narrative film with a female protagonist that depicts one woman's adoration and infatuation with another. In fact behind Eve's infatuation is a desire to be Margo. From the act of quietly trying on Margo's costume and standing on stage pretending to receive applause, it's clear that Eve wants to be the exact same woman as Margo, and even her partner wants to be the same. So this is where Eve seduces Bill. And Eve's failure to seduce just proves that there is no complete replacement. But Eve is still relying on lies, threats, etc. to constantly satisfy his desires. Finally, the appearance of Eve's fans and the costume fitting scene at the end of the credits express the continuation and cycle of this female desire.

    Why is it BEST PICTURE! This film is very bland except for Betty Davis, a film that will not stand the test of time!

    Ah, so merciful. Compared with "Sunset Boulevard", it is not enough to eat bones. Margo walked down from the altar to a clear-minded lover and a proverbial friend, and walked away. The endless craving for the peak will erode people's bones and blood. There are ambitions here, tens of thousands of ambitions. Always young and always up. So it emphasizes the relationship between youth and the crown. This story will repeat itself, but it is no longer new.

All About Eve quotes

  • Karen: It's about time Margo realize that what's attractive on stage need *not* be attractive off.

  • Karen: Eve, you mustn't mind Margo too much, even if I do.

    Eve: There must be some reason, something I've done without knowing.

    Karen: The reason is Margo and don't try to figure it out. Einstein couldn't.
