“If only those who dream about Hollywood knew how difficult it all is.” Greta Garbo was a Swedish actress, naturalized American, who became a Hollywood icon during the 1920s and 1930s thanks to her outstanding participation in both silent and talkies. She began her career as an advertising model in Stockholm, and in 1920 started acting. She studied at the School of Dramatic Art and obtained her first leading role in The Saga of Gösta Berling (1924). The following year, she was hired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, which is why she moved to Hollywood, and it was there where she built her emblematic career. She achieved success with Flesh and the Devil (1926), and Love (1927). She was quickly dubbed “the woman who doesn't laugh” for her flair for the dramatic genre, winning over audiences and critics alike with her naturalness in front of the camera. With the famous slogan “Garbo talks!”, she advertised the release of her first sound film, Anna Christie (1930), which earned her her first Academy Award nomination. Her role in Lubitsch's Ninotchka (1939) was also highly praised. Always private about her personal life, she was constantly hounded by the paparazzi. She retired at the age of 36; her career, though brief, left an indelible mark on the film industry. Garbo is considered one of the most important female stars in history.

Damien Chazelle is a filmmaker obsessed with limits, or rather, limits are the only theme in his films. In Whiplash (2014), the musician breaks his head to pursue the limits of beat and speed because only by pushing this limit can he achieve lightness; La La Land (2016) restores the glamour of musical films in Hollywood's Golden Age, but the extreme life and dream still tear apart, even if the exaggerating sweetness manages to wrap the bitter story in fantasy; First Man (2018) tells a household

The film that was comparable to today's most prominent biopic "Oppenheimer" that year was Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln." The elderly protester publicly condemned Spielberg, while holding a sign that read "Lincoln was a dict
