I guess you mean the mirror shot with infinite reflection. It was impressive of course. The 'it will happen to you too' fangirl for Eve was very 'dei dei' for me (the mirror shot visual being the only compensation).

What I meant by 'drop' was the scene before that, where Addison confronts Eve. But it is like the revelation scene in a whodunnit. Kind of unravelling has to happen. And it always the weak point of such a movie.

It was cyclical (reflections). It's this closely married tug of fame, and fragmentation of self in this vicious cycle. And like Eve, she'll have to live of a 'life of acts' (that overlaps both the reality and stage life) to pursue that fame.

It didn't come off as 'it will happen to you too'..

And I'm not saying films shouldn't just be about story, and characters. This film has a good theme, great lines (except Eve, who portrays the put-on innocence.) and superb performances. But it all felt less realized in visual terms, which always takes the highest precedence.

I get that.
It's not as if I don't enjoy that either. Just that I enjoy it better once everything else is in place. Visually impressive films which have otherwise weak plots, situations, acting etc. don't impress me that much.

'Visual realization' is fraught with risks of not communicating appropriately, leaving this open etc. Mankewicz took no risks at all. There is no denying AAE is dialogue heavy. But the setting provides a reasonable excuse.

It's not that great. But I could see why it was an influential film for German cinema..

That's one way of seeing things. I understand that I shouldn't undermine the film for its mere existence. I do like AaE, but given a choice, I would prefer something overwhelmingly cinematic (while a failure in plot!) to that most days!

Parts of Parts I,II, III and IV. Brushing up the characters. Gearing up to watch the latest. Still two parts left before 7.1 !

III, by far the best ! Cuaron :clap:
