Sometimes it's interesting to see just how bad bad writing can be. This promised to go the limit.

This show can be a lot, which is good and bad. The audience is emotionally abused and conditioned to the point that we are like our man carmie here. Yeah not a fan of that. I’m the glad the opening went well tho. All characters had real growth. They are all growing on me. A contender for an emotionally rich show post-Shameless but not close

Norma抓緊了來自了新電影時代的Joe，她說她愛他，其實她愛的是過去默片時代的名望和聚光燈。漏雨的別墅、積灰的古董進口車，長滿雜草的空泳池，滿屋子都沉醉在舊時大夢的閃耀之刻，Joe成為她對接幻想泡沫的稻草，給她實現回歸希望之可能，這從而成為一種迎合同時反抗好萊塢的矛盾象征。當她拿出拙劣的劇本又自恃高傲地表現所有人都願意看她，也有人願意為她而死。遺忘和更迭早就開始了，而反抗注定要將她拽入黑暗，Joe對peculiar prison的逃離使她終於在夢中驚醒——她在20年前就失去她的觀眾了，而她是不願意醒的。最終死亡帶來聚光燈的回歸，黑色荒誕。Gloria Swanson 展示在close-up時候的眼神和姿態，猶如驚悚而癲狂的夢想泥潭。Sunset Boulevard啊，日暮灰燼的路標。

前幾集分散講每個角色有些無聊，從聖誕節家庭聚餐那集往後節奏快起來才有感覺。總之剪輯配樂和畫麵都相當不錯

悲憐這個女人，她隻不過是這個時代的犧牲品。影片的敘述方式很棒！
