Late US artist Andy Warhol is believed to have once said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.”

But in this age of social media, selfies (自拍), and the Internet, it’s hard to say what “fame” actually is.

In the movie Vox Lux (《光之声》), which was first shown this month at the Venice Film Festival, US director Brady Corbet tries to answer that question.

“Fame is a commodification of everything, where violence becomes something you sell, news becomes something you sell, even private life does,” the movie’s star Natalie Portman told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In the movie, the Israeli-US actress plays the lead role of Celeste, a pop singer who’s 14 years into a hugely successful career. By that point, however, the character has become bitter (忿忿不平的) and her fame is beginning to fade – compared to her younger self, a sweet and carefree girl who suddenly finds herself in the spotlight.

This is a classic (经典的) tale of a rise to fame, but in today’s world of social media, it’s easy for just about anyone with a smartphone to become famous. But as more and more people search for the spotlight, this may add pressure on many of us to keep up with the “perfect” lives we see on the Internet.

“It appears that most people ... are living lives full of nothing but happiness, love, and rewarding events and experiences,” psychologist (心理学家) Kurt Smith wrote on HuffPost.

That isn’t to say that everyone uses their popularity to make others feel bad about themselves. Take UK beauty blogger Em Ford for example. In 2015, the online star, known for her makeup tutorials (教程), posted a video in which she slowly removed her flawless makeup, showing her bad skin underneath (在下面). “I wanted to create a film that showed how social media can set unrealistic expectations for both women and men,” Ford wrote in the video’s description.

So, it seems that the definition of fame changes all the time. But if Vox Lux teaches us one lesson, it’s that if we’re lucky enough to obtain the “commodity” of fame, we should spend it wisely.

1.What is fame in Natalie Portman’s eyes?

A.It is something one should try to avoid.

B.It is becoming famous in a short time.

C.It changes everything in our life into a commodity.

D.It is the popularity created by social media, selfies and the Internet.

2.What is the movie Vox Lux mainly about, according to the article?

A.It’s about how fame puts pressure on all of us.

B.It’s about how we should deal with fame well.

C.It’s about the life of a troubled pop star.

D.It’s about why most people take to fame.

3.The author uses Em Ford’s example mainly to ______.

A.stress the importance of showing the truth to the public

B.prove that some people use their fame to guide others

C.explain how social media sets unrealistic expectations on people

D.show that the definition of fame changes all the time

4.What is the author’s attitude toward fame?

A.Worried. B.Objective.

C.Unclear. D.Approving.
