In the golden age of Hollywood, the superstars who came from the silent film era, even black and white movies, can't cover their demeanor in the slightest. To this day, when it comes to elegance, the first star that catches the eye is still Audrey Hepburn. When it comes to sexy, the unstoppable scenery of Marilyn Monroe's white dress will immediately come to mind. Such as the noble Elizabeth Taylor, the personality Katharine Hepburn, and so on. Just like Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, there are so many beautiful women, each with its own strengths. As Dickens said, it was the best of times and the worst of times. This is an age that modern people worship and pay tribute to.
Betty and Joan are from this era, one talented and one charming. People always seem to care about what they don't have in them, so they are madly jealous of each other and slander each other. The story begins long after their golden age, Joan has nothing to do and is pretentious, and Betty becomes Miss Wallflower on Broadway, playing a small role with few lines, and they all look forward to returning to Hollywood glory. As a result, the two old enemies collaborated for the first time in "A Dream of Langui", and the selling point was no longer their proud acting skills and beauty, but the feud between the two. It can be seen that throughout the ages, the preferences of the people who eat melons have not changed.
"A Dream of Langui" has achieved unprecedented success, but the story of the two people's torment has not ended, from the battle for the coffee position at the press conference, to the battle for the director's favor, and the battle between the make-up rooms. . . Develop to the daughter's beauty battle. Until the biggest tipping point - Oscar night, Betty was nominated, but Joan became the most eye-catching existence of the night.
Although the contradiction between the two has intensified, the predicament has found them invariably. They were faced with various difficulties such as financial crisis and mid-life crisis, which led to the second cooperation between the two. The rupture of this cooperation directly led to the shattering of Qiong's dream of performing arts. As for Betty, although she won the Lifetime Achievement Award and was hailed as the Queen of Movies by later generations, she never gave up her acting career. However, his later roles rarely stand out, and he makes his living by speaking ill of Joan on the talk show and enduring the host's verbal insults.
Mr. Lu Xun said that tragedy is to tear up all the beautiful things for people to see. The big stars of the golden age, after the twilight, played screaming in the cage, beheading people with an axe, and all kinds of perverted characters with twisted characters. How sad is the distorted aesthetic of the entertainment public. However, what is even more tragic is that it was finally wiped out by everyone, and even the role was not accepted. It is only at the funeral that the greatest honor can be enjoyed.
At the end, I feel very sad, although the director forcibly implanted a false warmth before Joan's death. As Betty lamented, fifty years of acting career only gave two seconds. What she sighed was Joan, not herself, but the superstars of the golden age. After experiencing the incomparably bright optical fiber, he retired sadly. It's just the strife between them, apart from the jealousy of the idea, isn't it more lamentation for themselves, nostalgia for the golden age, and rebellion against social injustice.
