Sunset Boulevard was really good to watch. I usually avoid old films because I can’t get used to black and white from a color perspective (oof)
This movie though was really good. The heartlessness of the main character in scamming this older actress out of her prime. His increasing relations with his friends fiance (really cheap weddings in Arizona huh?)
He gets trapped by this actress who may kill herself if he leaves her. One thing that weirded me out was how her butler is her… ex-husband. Kinda offputting for me, but if that’s what you’re into I guess its fine?
In the final scene, he tries to leave after he decides to finalize his affair, but he gets shot. Before that though is an amazing acting scene with the fiance where he ends the relation (but not really). As I was saying, he gets shot. Movie ends with a cinematic reveal that the actress was finally looking for. Good ending, +1
