Curtis Taylor Jr, a talent manager who formerly was a car salesperson, manipulates people for his gain and anybody who becomes a barrier to his ambition he teaches him or her lesson (Condon, 2006)
Sound is used effectively in this film to compliment dialogue. For example, the sounds of female shoes while on stage can be heard, which is diegetic. Sound effects have perfectly been used to communicate sub-themes like an actor being serious on something. Shallow depth of field is also well used where there are two scenes that audiences need to see at the same time audience...
