long comet tail

In the era of black and white films, I always thought that the content would be as "decent" as these two rigorous colors. But like "Sunset Boulevard", the story of "Comet Beauty" also exposes many twists and unspeakable shadows. The point of view of the film is constantly changing in different paragraphs (the audience can strongly feel the process of escaping and entering a character), and the narration of the characters from different viewpoints is also just right. They present many aspects of a complete story, but the overall Views are left blank to give the audience space.

Look at the play. The main contradiction is changing all the time. The story of the two people tells a paragraph, and it falls to the other two. Especially when four good friends eat at the same table, the protagonist Eve's point of view has been extremely weakened, and even became a "secondary" character in that scene. But it is not difficult to find that, because the story is "all about Eve", her main thread runs through the whole process, but in a very secret way.

After studying film, I found it difficult to just appreciate a story, I always paid more attention to all aspects of production. But this film did it, and I was intoxicated from the beginning to the end. The breadth and depth of its themes gave it a convincing truth: the twists and turns of talent and desire, the coordination of tone and means, and the protection and stability of love and friendship... ...even the questions I've faced these days are wisely answered in it. Great movie, love it ❤️❤️.

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?
