On the surface, Eve was able to squeeze out Margot because she was deliberate, taking every step of the way, taking advantage of the soft-hearted, kind and kind-heartedness of Margot and others, and calculated the results with her heart. But is this the root cause?

no.

The root is that actresses are easy substitutes.

Margot and the playwright quarreled, what did the playwright say? ——“Actresses never die.” “When can an actress decide what to say and how to express her inner thoughts?” Although they have been colleagues and friends for many years, for the playwright, having and Ma Eve, who is as talented as a singer, still needs to be more agreeable when competing for roles that are more suitable for her age. He doesn't think actresses can recreate their characters individually, in different colors.

The protagonists are mostly young people. This is the age advantage. Margaux's anxiety did not come out of thin air. From playing a supporting role at the age of four to a leading role on a tour at the age of forty, it is impossible for her not to witness the bleak appearance of her predecessors.

The film does not describe the roles that the actors compete for, but it is clear that these female characters are not specialized images and are universal. Although it is mentioned in the words that they were written for Margaux, it does not seem that they need to be replaced. change.

So, is there a shortage of replaceable actresses in the entertainment industry? The overlapping figures in the mirror at the end tell us that countless beautiful and unnamed girls are waiting by their necks.

The directors, playwrights, producers and other people who control the production behind the scenes in the film are all men, which was the norm in the context of the times, and these people are irreplaceable. Eve becomes the new heroine, but still works with the same crew.

According to the lines in the play, they built the frame of the tower, and the actors were positioned at the top of the tower. So Eve goes to great lengths to get the director or the playwright, and only with their support will her starship be solid. The critics understand this, so they cut off Eve's thoughts ruthlessly, leaving her bound to herself.

By the way, Americans' obsession with family has really remained unchanged for decades. Margaux in 1950 returned to the family, and now it's doomsday movies that require wives and children to bring along?
