Review of All About Eve (1950) by Ryan S — 27 Dec 2009
Synopsis: An interesting, almost scary film that shows the power of corruption, deceit, and strife.
Plot: 2/3.
The plot could run dry at times especially towards the middle, but it picked up again towards the end. The plot was very intriguing overall.
Music: 3/3.
Nothing groundbreaking. It served its purpose.
Cinematography: 3/3.
Interesting camera work, especially the last scene.
Acting 2/3.
Overall, the acting was good. It could be overdramatic at times. It was also very oversophisticated. I seriously doubt people actually talked like this even in the suit-wearing, champagne-drinking, ritzy high-class world of the theater.
Ending: 3/3.
I felt the ending was spine-tingling. I honestly didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I felt it could have been shortened a little bit, but the plot twist was totally unexpected. It was set up very well, I can certainly see why it's a classic.
