All about Eve

*All About Eve (1950)*

Starring: Bette Davis

he was surely great actress, because she was very attractive, created great
atmosphere and acted admirably. However, I do not like her performance. I am
not crazy about acting but her performance was dark. I wanted turn my eyes
away from her acting, but there was such a great actress in America.
Usually, speaking of actress of Hollywood star, anyone who are young and
beautiful, and try to impress with sexy, but she was careless with that. So
she was utterly unromantic and sex appeal.

All About Eve was surely one of the great movies for her, because it showed
her off to advantage. Her face was exactly beautiful, but scary also. She
was suitable for this role I thought.

The first reason why I dislike her acting is that her performance did not
make me happy. At it is, I hate negative thinking. I love maintain a
positive attitude, so I could not accept her performance of this movie.
Her fascinating point was an outstanding acting I thought. When I watch any
black and white movie, I will often estimate too much, but this movie was
different, because I am sure that she played excellent and fabulous.

In this movie, I thought that the opinions were frank, but consensus is yet
to be reached regarding this movie, that's because I am not crazy about
acting, but it is little bit hard to describe only this movie. *All About
Eve* was definitely Hollywood's closest original approach to the bite,
brightness and sagacity of high comedy.

The movie showed the rise of young, beautiful Broadway Actress Eve
Harrington (Anne Boxer) from a stage struck unknown to an adulated star
fleetly. The first scene was Eve's most triumphant moment, as the theater's
big wigs gave her their big hand with honor to Eve. Then, in flashbacks
introduced with narration by three different characters, the story of Eve's
success proves her less a Cinderella than a Lady Macbeth.

The movie shows the swift rise of young Broadway Actress Eve Harrington
(Anne Baxter) from a stage struck unknown to an adulated star. She is seen
first at her most triumphant moment, as the theater's elite prepare to honor
her with their highest prize for acting. Then, in flashbacks introduced with
narration by three different characters, the story of Eve's success proves
her less a Cinderella than a Lady Macbeth. The first reason why this movie
made a deep impression on me is that unique beautiful pictures and actors
who made their preference felt, so those are pretty good. However, this
movie was little bit complicated to empathize and sympathize. I felt
"generation" in this movie. Black and white movie seems a masterpiece. This
works was also one. Looks good, but it was little bit hard to watch for long
time, I felt.

*The two main victims* of Eve's rise are just as keenly drawn. Her
benefactress, written and played with some recognizable traces of Tallulah
Bankhead, is volatile, egocentric and uninhibited, a great stage personality
whose bitter anxiety over encroaching middle age blights both her career and
her love affair with a younger director (Gary Merrill*). Eve's original
well-meaning sponsor (Celeste Holm) is a hapless show-business phenomenon:
as the non-professional wife of a successful playwright (Hugh Marlowe), she
feels pangs of insecurity at having her husband dangled constantly before
beautiful, designing females of the theater.

The reason why I was very impressed her acting is that her eyes seemed the
real great actress. Her act was terrific beyond description, because her act
had effected a whole movie. Her way of talking and atmosphere got this movie
had raised one of the best American movies, I felt. I think this movie's one
of the most important things is that she was always jealous of Eve for her
attitude. I think "Jealousy" is one of the important things for this movie,
because this movie's stage was two actresses were quarreling with each
other. In any case, this movie is really scary. I am really scared this
movie. If you watch this one, you have to compromise to a certain extent of
scare. There are a lot of recommendable scenes, for instance the first scene
you could catch the plot of this movie.

In any case, I did not like her performance, her act created cold atmosphere
somehow.

Anyway, I was exhausted after watching, but I did not care about time while
watching. Please do not think just academy movie and watch one time,
provided that it is impossible to watch twice. However, I am sure about All
About Eve is a masterpiece.(773 words/total 2932 words)
