      The Seven Year Itch--Monroe and Dream and Memory

      I will write it after reading it. It is a little watery and broken. If you don't like it, don't spray it. I haven't sat down to watch Monroe's movie in seven years, and finally I have time to download her movie, and this seven-year-itch is my first choice. I have to say that later generations have given Monroe a lot of evaluations, with different praises and criticisms, but many people have overlooked one of her characteristics—agility.

      In this film, I saw Monroe's aura, her naughty...

      seven year itch

      Arbitrarily placed us
      , like two cups of freshly brewed
      water in the living room, jumping on both sides of the
      table , but unable to touch
      the parts that tremble with each other, we have been the same

      for many years ,
      and the love in our dreams
      seems to be preserved. Touch
      We have no time to think about it or go on. We’re
      exhausted, we know it,
      but don’t say anything, we nod our heads.
      Even if the soul is involved once,
      we just...

      A naughty little boy

      I watched this movie because it had Monroe in it. Hollywood movies in the 1950s were definitely not as dazzling as they are today, but they allowed the audience to concentrate on the characters' psychological emotions, which was still very scrutinized.
          The male protagonist is like a little boy who steals candy to eat. Facing temptation, he constantly fantasizes about the consequences of the incident. In the end, he still has no courage to wait for the candy that really belongs to him....

      Fifty years later, the theory of the seven-year itch remains

      On such a gloomy Sunday, I watched "The Seven Year Itch", which was released 52 years ago. It felt really good. It was the first time I saw Monroe's sexy classic with her white dress fluttering in the wind. moment.

      This turned out to be a comedy, and it made me laugh so happily. In fact, the movie is a journey of the soul, which makes people's soul entertained for a moment, which is related to the style of the movie.

      What would the world be like if there were no beautiful...

      The beginning of the film is very predictable: a publisher whose wife and children are out for the summer is reviewing a book on psychoanalysis, which leads to the concept of the seven-year itch; a new sexy and beautiful neighbor arrives and hits it off; encounters the doctor who wrote the book; Will my wife and good friends have one leg of speculation...

      Without spreading anything, it ended inexplicably, without such a foolish person.

      BTW, Li Lizhen's peach seems to have...

      When I saw that today was the 60th anniversary of the release of "The Seven Year Itch", I couldn't resist the urge to watch the movie: the biggest surprise should be to find the source of the classic "Marilyn Monroe" photo, but the movie I think it's normal: First of all, I dislike Wilder's way of expressing too much in a stage play. The talkative male protagonist is a little annoying to hear too many psychological monologues. The first time he stepped on roller skates and fell, he fell into a...

    Evaluation action

    "The Seven Year Itch" has nothing peculiar in the plot. Without Marilyn Monroe's wonderful performance, this film may not have left any impression on the audience in the history of film, and it is even more unlikely that it will be admired by the audience in the 21st century. Talking about it tastefully, it is all because of the sexy and charming Marilyn Monroe that the plot is plain and the scene is not magnificent, which arouses the...

    Movie quotes

    • Elaine: [in Richard's fantasy, laying on the beach at midnight, kissing and embracing] What is this strange animal thing you have? It bothers me. It's bothered me since the first time I saw you. And it'll bother me always, from here to eternity.

    • Richard Sherman: [imaginary conversation] You don't have to worry about me. Just remember, although I have tremendous personal magnetism, I also have strength of character.

      Helen Sherman: And tremendous imagination. Lately you've begun to imagine it in Cinemascope, with stereophonic sound.

    • Richard Sherman: She probably figures she isn't as young as she used to be. She's 31 years old. One of these days she's gonna wake up and find her looks are gone. Then where will she be? Well, no wonder she's worried. Especially since I don't look a bit different than I did when I was 28. It's not my fault that I don't. It's just a simple biological fact. Women age quicker than men. Yeah, I probably won't look different when I'm 60. I have that kind of a face. Everybody'll think she's my mother.
