Sunset Blvd (1950)

Mini plot: Headlines "A small time writer got Murdered". He was found dead in the pool of the yestyear actress "Norma desmond".All wants to know what really happened.

Plot : This is a story which was happening

at the back drop of Hollywood in 1950's.It was the time where silent movies were long forgotten so do their hero's and heroin's. Aging,long forgotten actress of silent movies, "Norma Desmond" lives with her servant(though we find out on due course that he is not just a servant, he was her first husband he was the one who is sending her fan letters and he was the one who directed her to fame in her years.. Back to the plot..ahem.. )and she is desperately looking for a come back into the movies. A small time writer finds himself followed by the men who were after his car for the non-repayment of his lone. He finds shelter in Norma's place and she falls in love with him and attempts suicide as he dint accept her. At this stage, The writer falls in love with an young girl in reader's dept of paramount pictures. What follows next forms the rest of the story.

MY thoughts : This movie was released even before my dad was born. But the camera is fresh. The screenplay at its best. Even it can be remade in any language at any time after all which of the long forgotten heroins dont want a comeback.

Verdict : 7/10. See if you are the lover of cinema and if you are the one who encourages the same.

see you.
