I just saw the old movie Sunset Boulevard.  My parents had told me several times that this was a good movie, so I wanted to see it out of curiosity.   I had never seen a black and white movie before.  To me, this movie was a window into the past.  The movie had a really interesting story and you could not help but feel for the plight of the main characters.  I really felt for Norma.  I would expect it is difficult to enjoy so much fame and then have it taken away; especially if you derive your self worth from the fame.  I would also suspect that this movie is representative to former Hollywood stars of today.  I really enjoyed this movie.  It turns out my parents were right.
