i have yet to see a billy wilder film that i haven not love and and sunset boulevard be definitely one of those film . it interest to watch the film during different time in one life when i be a child watch this film and i think the story be good and that norma desmond ( swanson ) be a pretty scary lady . in my teen or college year and i appreciate it a a certified classic and for it commentary on hollywood . now and in my late 20 and early 30 i find it to have a different impact on me i be sadden by desmond mental illness and and when she make her final descent down her staircase and utters her famous line a the camera pan the face of the people around her and so full of pity and and the care her butler or ex husband take to make sure she happy for maybe the last time in her life make more of an impact on me than any other time in the 20 odd time i have see this film . there be only a small handful of central character in sunset boulevard and they be so richly write that this film will remain timeless . there be not a lot of ` dated theme in this film the circle of life that be hollywood isn not go to be much more evolve in 2050 than it be in 1950. if you haven not see this film and watch it because there be something for just about anyone in this film . shelly .
