Elisabeth Moss recommended Sunset Boulevard (1950) in Movies (curated)

Movie Favorite Watch

"This is a film — and this is kind of going away from this relationship theme — but this is a film that, when I was little, I loved. I mean, I’ve loved it my whole life. I don’t know what that says about me, but I loved Sunset Boulevard. I was a big old-movie fan when I was, you know, older than most people should be when they’re older-movie fans. [Gloria Swanson is] just so spectacular in that film and it sort of formed my idea of that raw, dramatic acting. And the writing… The writing in that movie is unbelievable. So many incredible one-liners. It’s one of those movies that you can watch now and you’re just, like, “Damn, that was a good line,” you know? Like, God, that was some good writing back then. The thing is that movies written that way wouldn’t fit in, really, these days. It would sound strange, like you couldn’t really do it now. But thank God we have them."

This was my least favourite Oz book so far. As with the previous book, it took a long time - almost the whole book in this case! - to actually read Oz, and so the only character (other than Dorothy) we know from before to feature significantly was the Wizard. Who is arguably the fullest of all characters, as anyone else familiar with the original Wizard of Oz understands.

From doing some research, the reason for this is because Baum has resigned himself to writing the series, so he was trying to have his cake and eat it by writing a Oz book without actually writing an Oz book. It's a shame he felt this way, because the moment we got into Oz all the magic for me returned. Sure there were some good ideas in the lead up, but I would have much preferred them to hammer occurred in Oz abs not this subterranean world. It felt more Jules Verne than Baum. Let's just hope this is the low point.

Love it
This is an amazing story.. the second in the series but I don't feel as if you need to read the 1st to understand this one. The characters are amazing and deep. I love this author's writing and I cannot wait to see what is next in this series.
