Selling soul and body = gaining money and power

Every character in the movie has their own character image that is very three-dimensional, and the decisions they make are beyond the audience's expectations, but they are very in line with their personal settings when they think about it. Even the last shot of each character's exit contains a wealth of information. The exit of one man is used as a metaphor for the exit of another man, and many storylines are hidden behind the scenes. Especially the scene scheduling, the use of camera language can be called the wonderful of the wonderful, the rational use of the foreground and background, the movement of the characters in the queue and the camera movement, and the wonderful dialogues at the textbook level all make me love it, can't help but think about it. Read it several times.

This movie shot in 1950 (in the golden age of Hollywood) is to sell their honesty and soul to the people who are chasing fame and fortune under the Vanity Fair, and use the "show business", a circle of people's attention, to calm down the turbulent waves on time. There are undercurrents and undercurrents, but the film has no negative comments on this type of occupation and human nature. It just tells us with a mirror at the end of the film that there will always be countless people who will seek power, beauty, money, status, love... . One after another. But we always have options.

Choices must be made, although we often ridicule that "children only make choices, adults do", but in reality we can only make one choice, and then continue to choose, just like the bifurcation of the maze, each time we can only choose one direction. When you choose who you want to be, you have to give up some qualities, but that's not a bad thing. Because of this, the qualities of kindness, simplicity, honesty, and bravery are more precious and beautiful. It is precisely because there are so few people with these qualities that it would be wonderful to meet such a person in one's life.

ps, I think the quality of kindness is extremely beautiful, how wonderful the person who has it is

If you can, you must think like the male protagonist in the anonymous person.

    Pressing step by step, swords and swords, hidden secrets, what a scheming bitch! It perfectly interprets life as a play, all relying on acting skills. The noble circle is too chaotic, and all kinds of unspoken rules and so-called "big truths" are really unsightly. Once you step into this circle and want to stand on it, you can't be a completely pure and clean person. It can be completely compared to the present, and there will hardly be much difference. Isn't the ending just another reincarnation, full of irony and helplessness.

    The characters are so well done. Margo and Eve represent two images in the entertainment industry. Margo is gifted and talented, and her smooth acting career has made her develop a arrogant and arrogant character, and at the same time it has also caused her a strong sense of insecurity and fear of losing everything that is easily obtained. So she erected thorns all over her body, instead of protecting herself, she always hurt those who loved her. Eve, on the other hand, is full of ambition and lacks the ability to love and be loved. She uses lies to construct her own life, uses all the people and things around her, and pursues brilliance at any cost. If the first two hours of the film told about the wonderful love-hate entanglement of several star men and women, then the last ten minutes raised the theme of the film to a higher level: Eve is never alone, she represents a kind of reincarnation, a kind of cause and effect , when they eat the prey around them like bloodthirsty beasts, they have no idea that they have become the prey of another beast too.
