A good film, with an amazing soundtrack, that captures the chaos of an emerging art-form that was the early life of cinema and film production.
The first portion of the story is all larger than life, with humour, few limits, and opportunity for those willing to take them, the second takes a dark turn, possibly too dark for me, but it's an interesting contrast as the world turns more corporate and controlled, with criminal elements moving in around the edges.
Every new form goes through this cycle of excess and fall, you can see it in the ongoing evolution of social media now, where everyone thinks they can be a star, and the ridiculous status and reward afforded to "influencers" followed by the inevitable crash.
