3.5. Didn't quite get the overwhelming hate this film got. The satire here is not particularly intelligent nor incisive, but that seems fitting when reality is more mundanely grotesque than fiction: it's almost like the real world does not deserve to be treated in a more aesthetically profound manner. The sense of helpless anger and disbelief at the state of the world is quite genuine, and there are emotional moments that work quite well. It's a typically white and star-studded mainstream film, and that's okay.

用大量對話勾勒好萊塢黃金時代的氛圍卻多少有些吊書袋對觀眾的知識要求未免高了點不僅需要瞭解《罗小葱》的背景還得獵涉當年的影城八卦 Ben Hecht、塞滋尼克、Mayer、Lombard、Sternberg、Joseph Mankiewicz…輪番出場Norma Shearer/Irving Thalberg 跟 Marion Davies/Hearst若隱若現的對比反而比較像在為難對戰前好萊塢不熟悉的觀眾吧順道在這個電影人普遍討厭共和黨的現在嘲笑一下那個共和黨支持者還佔多數的古典好萊塢;背光、表現人物輪廓的攝影不確定是否是彩色拍轉黑白黑白層次不太夠物件很常被背景暗部吃掉2020.12.21
