Sunset Boulevard

This week imdb should be very proud of me becuase this is my third movie from the top 250 movies ever. At first i need to warn everyone about something, for movie lovers like me who watched eveything and anything, there is a very high chance that you won't enjoy watching classics anymore, because their subjects have beem so many times used in different movies that they might seem to be a copy, but in fact they are the original one ( that was my discovery today after geeting bored of all the good movies that i watch recently).

Sunset blvd is the story of an old famous actress from silent movies who with the advent of vocal movies they were put aside ( yes, very similar to "the artist ", in fact too similar).She finds a poor young screenwriter by chance and ask him to stay in her mansion and help her write a movie to play in. The movie technically lives in her dream world where she is still a very famous actress and everyone loves her. 

In meantime she falls in love with the young man or better say she becomes obsessed with him. 

The story shows the struggle of the old lady making the young man to love her and her craziness.

I have not watched alot of classic movie, so i can not compare it with anything, but the subject is certainly interesting, and the young man is a very good actor. I din't like the old woman's act because she is too artificial and personally i have not met such a weird person in my life ( still there may exist someone like her).


I am going to give 6/10 to the movie and i do not recommend it if you are not a classic-black and white movie fan.

Have a great weekend.
