    I am big. It's the pictures that got small. The silent film that wraps itself in luxurious empty mansions and illusions of light and shadow The whispering organ of the queen's old servant and the room full of his own portraits all convey gothic eerie and infinite Dramatic tension. Looking at the casting and the story behind it, I found that this film can be viewed as a film history lace, and I also need to focus on the ending of God! A masterpiece! Film noir and Billy Wilder really suit my...

    Billy Wilder's most classic noir film, the mansion in the play is located at 10086 Sunset Boulevard... The actress said narcissistically. In the film, many superstars and directors of the silent film era were invited to make guest appearances. In addition to the heroine Gloria Swanson and the supporting actor Eric von Stroheim, there was also the great director Cecil B. DeMille, even Buster Keaton, but not signed, and I don't seem to have seen...

    With the end of the silent film era, the stars who once flourished were unable to adapt to the arrival of sound films. They were afraid, they escaped, and they lived in the memories of being surrounded by fans all day long. Over time, some began to lose their minds and wanted to come back at all costs and become the focus again. Later, do...

    I am obsessed with film noir, the black and white images that will not expire, the dialogues with every word, and the extreme sadness reflected in the humorous ridicule. Most of the good films in my mind have such characteristics. "Sunset Boulevard" attracted me in the first minute, and ranked it as one of my top ten films in the first 20 minutes. Every dialogue is enjoyable and memorable, and every moment is ingenious. Movies like this can make you unstoppable for the rest of your...

    No wonder David Lynch likes it more than Mulholland Drive. In the film, Norma is always immersed in the glory of the past. She doesn't know that time has passed and things are different. She is 50 years old. The world has long forgotten her, but she always thinks that she is still in Salome. The poignant princess who eventually drove her into madness, shot and killed Gillis, the downfall screenwriter, who was still living in his own world when the police arrested...

    The last night of the film festival @Cineplex 6th floor Wilder's peak work. The writing, acting, costumes, and soundtrack are all excellent. The sarcasm and dark humor throughout are breathtaking, but the twisted plot and narrative angles are the most valuable. Once the sea was difficult for the water, and I went to open a lamp to turn on the wheat. Feeling the life of stunted development. xiaami.com/song/1165879 No words yet, this year's film festival ended perfectly. see you next...

    Perfect! "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up" is so good! !...

    I watched it twice, and the more I watched it, the more I liked it! The beginning starts with the hero's self-report, but I never thought that the dead body in the swimming pool is the hero, until the end - the suspense is buried very well. When the hero accidentally breaks into the heroine's mansion and gets shelter in life, when he thinks he has taken a big advantage and is complacent, the housekeeper Max has already anticipated everything, made the bed, and even brought the luggage. Do you...

    Lost in the long loneliness, the last infatuation with love is rather driven to madness by the fear of being alone. In addition, dare to ask where is this...

    Very well structured, the film is full of a touch of sadness everywhere, and a silent film encounter is a metaphor for the absence of silent films, and it pays tribute to silent films in Billy Wilder's special...

    classic hollywood wounds

    "SUNSET BLVD" begins with a stationary close-up of the sign as eerie background music plays. The Chinese translation is "Sunset Boulevard", which is both the title of the film and a street located in western Los Angeles County, California, USA. And it has already become a symbol of Hollywood...

    Movie reviews for private recording, please do not click here

    1 Hollywood and screenwriters and movie stars and directors and movies are repeated in the film, Salome and Swanson's silent films are wonderful, only meaningful in Hollywood, musicals weaken the strong sense of irony and love

    2 The lines are too good, in line with the character of the black film...

Sunset Blvd. quotes

  • Norma Desmond: You must forgive me for calling you so late, but I really feel it's my duty. It's about Mr. Gillis. You do know Mr. Gillis? Exactly how much do you know about him? Do you know where he lives? Do you know how he lives? Do you know what he lives on?

    Betty Schaefer: Who are you? What do you want? What business is it of yours anyway?

    Norma Desmond: Miss Schaefer, I'm trying to do you a favor. I'm trying to spare you a great deal of misery. Of course you may be too young to even suspect there are men of his sort. I don't know what he's told you, but he does not live with relatives. Nor with friends in the usual sense of the word. Well, ask him. Ask him again.

    Joe Gillis: [grabbing the phone from Norma] That's right, Betty. Ask me again. This is Joe.

    Betty Schaefer: Joe, where are you? What is this all about?

    Joe Gillis: Well, better yet, why don't you come out and see for yourself? The address is 10086 Sunset Boulevard.

  • Joe Gillis: Thanks for letting me wear the handsome wardrobe, and thanks for the use of all the trinkets. The rest of the jewelry's in the top drawer.

    Norma Desmond: [desperate] It's yours, Joe. I gave it to you.

    Joe Gillis: And I'd take it in a second, only it's a little too dressy for sitting behind a copy desk in Dayton, Ohio.
