      The Value of Genders in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

      Marilyn Monroe herself has already jumped out to being more than a charming Hollywood movie star, into a symbolic portrait of feminine beauty, a representation of materialistic women and the power of feminism, in regard of millions of men adoring her charm and begging for her affection .
              The opening show of the film Gentlemen prefer Blondes, is straight forward and purpose-clear, trying to catch spectators' eyeballs using visually comforting effect: Two charming girls dancing on...

      How do poor people fall in love?

      It is also a movie in my life. Finally the rich old man asked Monroe: Do you want to marry my son because he is rich? Monroe said: No. I married him because you are rich. The old man said: Look at my son, she is still for the money. Monroe said: You made a mistake, because many rich people are not as good to me as your son. If you have a daughter, don't you want her to marry a rich man? . Old man: .... They say you are stupid, but in fact you are so smart. Monroe: I am smart when necessary...

      Confidence is the best sexiness for a woman

      After watching the movie, Monroe is so attractive. After watching, I really feel that Dimonds are a girl's best friends. In fact, what is moving and convincing is not the amazing worship of money, but the self-confidence of women, so attractive, so Monroe exudes brilliance and light, and wants a person to be convinced by you in the shortest possible time. It is confident that self-confidence and independence are the best sexy of a girl.

      Monroe's role seems to be highly dependent, but...

      90 minutes facing the screen nympho

      Gentlemen Love Blondes, only today, only two games in line. Excited me! My God, the goddess is the goddess. In the 20th century, Fox succeeded in pushing Monroe's crazy charm of every man out of the screen in the movie, or put Monroe's charm in reality into the screen. But I must say that Jane Russell's aura even surpassed Monroe. Monroe's singing skills are amazingly good, and she deserves to be the one who has recorded the soundtracks in 56 movies. And Jane is not only good at singing, but...

      make me happy! turn me on!

      Two ordinary American girls, (just more beautiful and sexier than most "ordinary people"). One only loves handsome guys, and the other only loves money. At the end of the film, they got their respective loves.
        In fact, it can be said that it is a movie that, to a certain extent, can represent the golden age of Hollywood. There is no deep connotation, but pure happiness and moderate sensory stimulation are brought to the audience. (I love every song and dance segment in the film, I never...

      Monroe is really familiar with this role, her personal charm is too strong, "A man marrying a girl for beauty and a woman marrying for money are the same, not the whole reason, but you can't deny that it is one of them. One reason" and "I'll be smart when I have to" feels like something she would...

      Hawks' classic romantic cabaret. 1. Monroe's charm in the film is unparalleled, sexy and hot, only for diamond madness, her charming and innocent performance is slightly exaggerated, this slight excess not only strengthens the comedy, fascinates the audience, but also increases the complexity of the characters ——She is not really stupid, but has scheming and self-pursuit, just like the phrase "I can be smart when it's important. But most men don't like it.". 2. The relationship between marriage...

      "If we can't empty his pockets between us, then we're not worthy of the name Woman." Monroe and Russell were both magnificent. And I enjoyed every moment of their performances. Wasn't Monroe the smartest girl...

    Movie quotes

    • [Lorelei is stuck going through the porthole]

      Henry Spofford III: All right. I'll help you. I'll help you for two reasons.

      Lorelei Lee: Never mind the reasons. Just help me.

      Henry Spofford III: The first reason is I'm too young to be sent to jail. The second reason is you got a lot of animal magnetism.

    • Ernie Malone: It seemed a good idea to bring some drinks. Here are your cigarettes.

      Dorothy Shaw: Oh, you're a dear. Good boy.

      Lorelei Lee: I've been wondering, what is your line, Mr. Malone?

      Ernie Malone: My line? Well, my most effective one is to tell a girl that she has hair like a tortured midnight, lips like a red couch in an ivory palace, that I'm lonely and starved for affection. Then, I generally burst into tears. It very seldom works.

      Dorothy Shaw: You idiot.

    • Mr. Esmond Sr.: Are you out of your mind?

      Ernie Malone: Mm-hmm, but I like it that way.
