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 ❤️❤️.
