HERE WE GO!

First of all, the movie was very interesting. I thought the woman was creepy. enough about that.

Now, I want to talk about whether or not to tell the woman that she is past her prime. I believe that it is a friend's duty to tell someone the truth. Norma Desmond may have been a famous actress, but people have to face the facts at some point. If i were a close enough friend to Norma, i would have told her the deal. Her life was centered around the fact that she is the center of attention, when she simply is not all she thinks she is. It's pitiful. I don't blame the director for not busting her bubble, but i blame Max for almost everything. 

Joe, should have told her, was put in a horrible spot. He picked the WORST house to hide out in. That sucks to get stuck there. I think that he did actually get trapped, Norma "toy'ed" with his emotions and coerced him into staying. Poor guy. Ended up losing his life. I would like to say that Norma is a great shot with a pistol. Three shots. All of them hit. Not to mention she held the gun with her left hand. Better than i could do. Norma is crazy though. 

All of this could have been avoided a long time ago, just by simply telling Norma that she is past her prime. Joe should have gone with Betty, because she is a better person. Even if she is engaged with a different guy, she is still better than Norma. 

I was overall frustrated with the movie, well, more of just the story-line. Movie was good. The scene looking up from the bottom of the pool was a great picture.
