Although the obsolete female celebrity is out of mind, the butler is more toxic. For the so-called "love", it is enough to give up the career of director. The endless growth of Norma's perverted dream makes everything more irreversible. Although the protagonist was confused in the early stage, Betty showed that he was quite responsible after his thoughts. Norma's tragedy is not only related to Hollywood and the cruelty of the media, but also to blame. Regarding the beauty and glory of a young age as the whole value, the spirit and life are empty to the surprise of the male protagonist who meets for the first time. In contrast, even though Betty failed to pursue his dream in the acting industry, he became more mature. He found the joy of working behind the scenes and was full of creative enthusiasm. Who wouldn't like such a girl? I know that David Lynch likes this movie by watching film critics, no wonder there is Sunset Boulevard in "Mulholland Road".

The colorful passage of the whole film is the moment when Norma sits on the set and the lighting engineer turns on the spotlight to shine on her: in an instant she returns to the peak of life's splendor. Classic Hollywood movies actually have two tasks. One is to tell a dripping story according to the established three-act play structure, and the other is to insert flashes of talent in the film that may have nothing to do with the film itself. After completing the first task, the film can be successfully handed over; after completing the second task, the film has entered a great classic series. This is why Billy Wilder, Howard Hawkes, and Ilya Kazan have all become masters, because each of their films has shining points that cannot be replicated. Other directors have racked their brains and can't think of one for a lifetime.

Joe Gillis (as narrator): I had landed myself in the driveway of some big mansion that looked run down and deserted.

Joe Gillis (as narrator): It was a great big white elephant of a place. The kind crazy movie people built in the crazy 20s. A neglected house gets an unhappy look. This one had it in spades. It was like that old woman in "Great Expectations". That Miss Havisham in her rotting wedding dress and her torn veil, taking it out on the world, because she'd been given the go-by.
