Sunset Boulevard

Haunting Hollywood Tragedy A meta-cinema that explores stardom and obsession in the film industry and how it moves on and forgets yesterday’s talents The transition from silent films to talkies was a huge shift in the industry back then and more often than not, the movie stars had a difficult challenge in adapting to the changing environment. Transitioning to the new norm became sort of a challenge for Hollywood stars. While films like *Singin’ In The Rain* was presented as a joyful celebration of the shift from silent to talkies, Sunset Boulevard explores the tragic side of that shift. I love films that dive deeper into the transition from silent to talkies. Even newer films like Babylon just so happens to be one of my favorites. I just can’t explain why One of cinema’s greatest critiques of Hollywood often looking into fame and industry’s cruelty on the industry insiders. A film noir that can be considered one of the best in motion picture history
