The Unfinished Story - "The Comet Beauty"

Name 2022-03-22 09:01:34

If the heroine is a comet, then her reputation is the sun that she desperately wants to approach, even if she loses herself in the process. Trying to explain the title of the film "Comet Beauty", after all, the literal translation of the English title is "Everything About Eva".

In today's words, Eva is a scheming green tea, unscrupulous to seek the upper position, not only can play a pure white flower in front of others, but also attack just right to get everything she wants. In order to fill the face of desire, many people will "go out" again and again, and Hollywood, a place with a fast metabolism, is the catalyst for these careerists to abandon the past. Margot has slowly faded away, but luckily she still has friends and lovers, and she finds that this is what she wants now, who has experienced success, so she sees it through and retreats. Of course, this is just a matter of vision. Successful people shout "enjoy life", "family" and "love" balabala because they have already succeeded. People always value what they don't get. The tragedy of Eva is that her success is invincible, but it is indeed a shortcut in the real situation. Her methods are seen by insidious critics, and it is conceivable that her future may only be superficial. I can guess the way the movie ends, but it doesn't affect my relish in watching it. This is the expressiveness of the movie. Eva was lying high on the sofa, the humble newcomer Phoebe secretly wore Eva's clothes, and stared at everything Eva had with care and greed, just like back then, the humble she coveted everything about Margot. This is an unfinished story.

All About Eve quotes

  • Lloyd Richards: Karen, let me tell you about Eve. She's got everything - a born actress. Sensitive, understanding, young, exciting, vibrant...

    Karen: Don't run out of adjectives, dear.

  • Karen: [narrating] Newton, they say, thought of gravity by getting hit on the head by an apple. And the man who invented the steam-engine, he was watching a teakettle. But not me. My big idea came to me just sitting on a couch. That boot in the rear to Margo. Heaven knows, she had one coming. From me, from Lloyd, from Eve, Bill, Max and so on. We'd all felt those size fives of hers often enough. But how? The answer was buzzing around me like a fly. I had it. But I let it go. Screaming and calling names is one thing, but this could mean...

    Karen: [continues] Why not? "Why," I said to myself, "not?" It would all seem perfectly legitimate. And only two people in the world would know. Also, the boot would land where it would do the most good for all concerned. After all, it was no more than a harmless joke which Margo herself would be the first to enjoy. And no reason why she shouldn't be told about it... in time.

    Karen: [on the phone, calling Eve to let her in on her little "joke"] Hello. Will you please call Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
