Sunset Blvd.




Sunset Blvd. (1950)


Description


A hack screenwriter writes a screenplay for a former silent-film star who has faded into Hollywood obscurity.

The story, set in ’50s Hollywood, focuses on Norma Desmond, a silent-screen goddess whose pathetic belief in her own indestructibility has turned her into a demented recluse. The crumbling Sunset Boulevard mansion where she lives with only her butler, Max who was once her director and husband has become her self-contained world. Norma dreams of a comeback to pictures and she begins a relationship with Joe Gillis, a small-time writer who becomes her lover, that will soon end with murder and total madness.

Review


Another Billy Wilder masterpiece
I have yet to see a Billy Wilder film that I haven’t loved, and Sunset Boulevard is definitely one of those films. It’s interesting to watch the film during different times in one’s life – when I was a child watching this film, I thought the story was good and that Norma Desmond (Swanson) was a pretty scary lady. In my teens/college years, I appreciated it as a certified classic and for its commentary on Hollywood. Now, in my late 20’s and early 30’s I found it to have a different impact on me – I was saddened by Desmond’s mental illness, and when she makes her final descent down her staircase and utters her famous line as the camera pans the faces of the people around her, so full of pity, and the care her butler/ex-husband takes to make sure she’s happy for maybe the last time in her life made more of an impact on me than any other time in the 20-odd times I’ve seen this film. There are only a small handful of central characters in Sunset Boulevard and they are so richly written that this film will remain timeless. There are not a lot of `dated’ themes in this film – the circle of life that is Hollywood isn’t going to be much more evolved in 2050 than it was in 1950. If you haven’t seen this film, watch it because there is something for just about anyone in this film. –Shelly
