Sunset Boulevard (Wilder 1950) explores the intermingling of the public and private realms, piercing the illusion of the former and revealing the dark and often disturbing reality of the latter. By delving into its characters' personal delusions and showing the devastation caused by the interruption of those fantasies, the film provides not only commentary on the industry of which it is a product, but also a shared anxiety about the corrupting influence of external perception. Narrated by a dead man, centering on a recluse tortured by her own former celebrity, and a once-promising director who refuses to believe his biggest star could ever be forgotten, the work analyzes a multitude of illusory folds to reveal an ultimately undesirable truth. . Its fundamental conflict lies in the compartmentalization that allows the oppressed to hope and move forward. Sunset Boulevard carefully considers the tangled honeycombs of dishonesty and deception that make up human life, then dissolves barriers and watches emotions, lies, and self-contradictions mix together and react in often volatile and destructive ways. The complex web of half-truths and false impressions that give the diegesis of Sunset Boulevard its convolution manifest in the visual imagery and physical attributes of a house at once sumptuous and decadent. Norma Desmond's house embodies the actress's mental dissociation and emotional fragility, showing an external degradation kept separate from the intimate internal charm. The two faces of Desmond's estate exist in a visual disparity that mirrors the former star's dissociation and the private illusion of celebrity and high esteem in which he envelops himself. Desmond's belief in his meaning... in the middle of the paper... in the shadow of his narrative suggests the significant influence of Joe's prejudices on the way the film is portrayed. The writer claims to represent the voice of empiricism, promising to provide "the facts... (and) the whole truth" before the story gets "all distorted and blown out of proportion", but his personality overlaps with the narrative and His seemingly even-handed retelling of the series of events contains opinions, editorials, and literary references that are all too reminiscent of a Hollywood drama. Joe Gillis, being a fiction writer with an intense personal investment in the story he tells, cannot be expected to adhere to scientific impartiality. Instead, it illustrates an essential tenet of storytelling and Hollywood mystique, the subjective nature of facts when paired with human interpretation. Joe Gillis shows how a road can be more than a strip of asphalt.
