This work was actually placed in Marilyn Monroe's album, and even the cover is full of Xiaoma's dreamy smiling face. I thought it would be a horn inside at least, but I saw her appearing purely in an hour. Before that, I always tried to think of EVE as a role played by Marilyn Monroe, but I really found it difficult to connect with the sexy and flashy Monroe. Monroe has an angel-like innocent and simple smile, while EVE's smile has an indescribable calmness and simplicity.
At least at the beginning, I was blinded by the gentle and humble EVE. I was moved by her calm eyes and calm posture. I thought this was a star fanatic who was addicted to drama, but the look of being neither humble nor arrogant and coping with ease was something other star fans did not possess. . She has a reassuring mediocre appearance and basic qualities of loyalty and honesty, so she was taken home by Margot, the star she admired. For a while, she became Margot's mother, nanny, friend, secretary, and agent.
Seeing Margot slowly becoming suspicious of her, he started arguing with her boyfriend and turned her face with the screenwriter and director, only to realize that this woman is really not easy. She had been laying her own path calmly and moving up. Every paw that I climbed is very powerful. The kind-hearted lady screenwriter introduced her to Margot, because Karen, who helped her secretly, was threatened by her and almost lost her husband.
Margot and EVE are two types of people. The rise of Margot is natural, and the popularity of EVE is entirely artificial. Probably because of this, Margot has a big, straightforward and simple character. EVE is careful and deliberate. Although EVE got what she wanted, got a place in the theater industry, and started a new chapter in her own career, she had to make people contempt and worry about her success. Sacrificing morality and self, even if it succeeds, but without friends, what should EVE do in the future?
This drama fully interprets the front and back waves in the entertainment industry, the turbulent reefs, and the intrigue. It is said to be the second most outstanding film in the world. The only downside is that for the audience 60 years later, the film of 2 hours and 17 minutes is a bit too long.
What impressed me the most about the film was a monologue by Margot. Margot, who was betrayed by a friend without knowing it, was sitting in a car in the ice and snow, smoking a cigarette, half-opened charming and somewhat empty eyes, and said: A woman’s career will come to an end one day, and what she did after that It is to prepare three meals a day for others. At that moment, for this 40-year-old actor who was popular but had to quit the stage sooner or later, love and a stable life finally overwhelmed the so-called fame and fortune. She also started at that time, she didn't care about her career, and she also understood and pityed EVE. When EVE got the trophy to give her thanks, her eyes restored the queen-like confidence, with disdain, with recognition, profound and far-reaching, and a sense of destiny for predicting the future. It seems that Anita Mui's eyes are a bit similar to Margot.
I don't know who translated the title. Compared with the original name "ALL ABOUT EVE", the interpretation of Comet Beauty is obviously closer to the central idea of the film. EVE looked forward to it, succeeded, and became a star, but this is just a glorious moment in the vast starry sky, and this sparkle is only fleeting like a comet.
It is very dramatic that the Margot actor BETTE was originally a big Hollywood star at the time and has always been sought after. The EVE actor is the relatively unknown ANNE, and this ANNE does not seem to have much work afterwards.
Suddenly thought of the Korean drama "The Temptation of Eve", why do such films always call this kind of woman EVE?
