I don't belong to that era, forgive me for not loving this film deeply.

A fast-paced film whose beginning and end cannot be seen is my favorite. One of the wonderful lines: "Bert, I’m Larry Levy, I hope you don’t remember me anymore, but if you remember, I hope there is no bad impression that I was working for Gasner at the time." Two: "It's me, Bonnie, we are friends." "You don't understand that I not only represent me and I have a job." The lines can only be understood in the context. Is it just ironic after reading it? I don't belong to that era, forgive me for not loving this film deeply.

    Vulgar Hollywood? Yes, watching those vulgar reunions finally replaced the cruelty of reality. Just Hollywood vulgarity? Wrong, watching the snobbish and ruthless male lead escape the murder charge and get his hands on the beautiful daughter-in-law and finally become the big boss. We as the audience are satisfied with such a "big reunion". Therefore, Hollywood's "vulgar", in the final analysis, is us - the audience is "vulgar".

    The 8-minute long shot gave this film four stars at the beginning, and no matter how messy it was afterwards, it was four stars.
