This was a very disturbing movie for me to watch. Usually, I prefer passive and easy going Friday movies. This movie talked volumes to the negative effects people in the cinematic and film industry face from superficial beauty standards to dealing with fame. The depiction of Norma not being famous and the desperation that she felt to be famous again summarizes the film industry in any place in any part of the world. This movie has a very sound message. Actors and celebrities many a times have forgotten that their main focus is to ideally be good professional artists and deliver well-prepared content. Given this shift of focus from good movies (or any other artistic content) to popularity is setting bad culture top down in the societies we live in. This is giving rise to a more depressed, more fake and more stressed generation of millennials. I drew a lot of parallels from the movie to modern day life

Endless possibilities
I agree with your statement that actors and celebrities forget to be good professional artists and deliver well prepared content. I believe that this springs from the rise of social media, which creates this superficial world where celebrities feel the need to constantly be in the spotlight and do things that will get them noticed. If people aren’t talking about them, then there careers will begin to die down.
