A moment of beauty, both true and illusion

Speaking of Monroe, people will always unconsciously think of such a graceful figure, with red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, graceful, swaying pose. She is a banshee in the sea, like a lotus in the water; she is a fox spirit Daji, "It is difficult to write gentleness in a peach blossom, and a peony is like a slender beauty." Her beauty eclipses the text.

As a sexy goddess of the last century, Monroe can be said to be well versed in the art of controlling men. She laughed at Yan Yan and her gestures were so lethal. Under her pomegranate skirt. Her classic image should belong to a scene in "Seven Years Itch". The white dress was lifted by the wind, revealing infinite spring and sexy. But this is such a stunner, but his life experience is rough and he died young. The movie "A Week with Marilyn" is based on Monroe's third marriage period (1956-1958). At that time, Monroe was already well-known and well-known. She went to the UK to film the film "The Prince and the Dancing Girl". Laurence Olivier, who played against her, was not only a famous role in the UK at the time, but also the director and producer of the film. The film’s entry point is very coincidental. It’s not like Dong Ye who wants to talk about Hoover’s love and life, and Aunt Mei who wants to play the iron maiden’s majesty and loneliness. The movie only tells about Monroe’s short time when she made a movie in the UK. Let the audience feel as if they are the freckled boy, and fortunately to have a sweet relationship with Monroe, and cherish her suffering as a big star and straightforwardness as a little woman. It's a pity that Monroe got pregnant and miscarried twice before and after the filming. She and her third husband finally parted ways in 1958. Even though Monroe cherished this marriage very much, her dependence on drugs and alcohol led to the marriage. Finish.

I have to say that all the actors in the movie are very good. Zhongxing Pengyue performed Monroe's week in a dazzling manner: the launch of the newcomer Eddie Redmayne is undoubtedly a very smart choice. He is young and childish, but simple and kind, projecting how many big screens he used to watch the movie. The freckles on his face can hardly conceal the green love. He knows that moths are fighting the fire, but he still has to try to give up. Emma Watson is really a beauty embryo. Although there are not many scenes, it can be foreseen that she will be more beautiful in the future, and she will be magnanimous. Judi Dench's role is very kind, it is a relatively heroic role, but it is still well-interpreted. In the end, I have to say that Kenneth Branagh's performance really played the spirit of Sir Laurence Olivier. The performance has been transformed into a realm, and Michelle Williams complements each other, just right. Not only that, but the director’s skill is also admirable. From the set, the lines to the photography, the movie can be said to be remarkable, especially the color of the photography, full and gorgeous, quite retro feeling, like the flames, red lips and blonde hair on the screen. The stunner is about to come out in an instant, and the photographer is indispensable.

The performance of Michelle Williams in the movie is undoubtedly wonderful. She emerged from "Brokeback Mountain" and has now become the mainstay of the new generation of acting. She played the weak side of Monroe as a little woman, the sadness behind the spotlight, and the lack of desire for ordinary life. Xiaomi took it just right. When watching the movie, a sorrowful atmosphere seemed to linger on her. In her smile, Kui Er appeared, and then was lost in Monroe's habitual bright and sexy, which made people want to grasp, but passed away in a hurry. This grief fits Monroe’s complicated life experience, and also shows Monroe’s powerless sense of reluctance to retain her third marriage in the movie. Perhaps this is how Oscar favored Xiaomi again and gave her a nomination. , And as for winning, you still need to look at the power of public relations. However, it is a pity that although Xiaomi's capture of Monroe's attitude and temperament is relatively in place, she is not as charming and seductive as Monroe. If she wants to interpret that like the wind, what she needs is the flattery in her bones. After all, Xiaomi is an ordinary wife and mother. She does not have the beauty of Monroe, nor the naked coquettishness of Monroe in "Playboy". What she can do is her best interpretation. So we saw her skirt swaying, looking forward to her appearance; seeing her calm and confident in the face of the media and the focus, seeing her affectionate, graceful and frivolous, easily seduced, such amorous feelings, it is not easy. Looking back and comparing the little woman with short hair who gave her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, it is a world of difference. She is a great actor just like her late husband Heath Ledger.

When Marilyn danced in front of the camera, a white skirt rippled, Sir Laurence Olivier couldn't help but admire the marvelous, and the iceberg between them collapsed. This is Monroe, easily breathtaking. She is a piece of "Summer Lightning" in "Dangerous Times", and she is "Comet Beauty" that travels through the "Asphalt Jungle". She was featured in "The Women of the Song and Dance Company", but did not understand "How to Marry a Millionaire". Fortunately, "A Gentleman Loves Blondes" was sought after by thousands of people. She shouted to sports stars "Let's be upright "Let's Get Married", but she didn't enjoy the "Elixir Spring Festival" in "Love Nest" for long, and her ending ended up like "We Are Not Married". "Going East", time has not given Monroe, the "Energetic Man" and "Happy Love". How many people can only watch "No Knock on the Door" when "The Night Is Not Quiet" but try to spy on the "Seventh". The Year's Itch. "Qing Ge Man Dance is Good for Living", her "Cardamom Years" are all left to us in front of the screen, but she died young and was ruined by drugs and alcohol. Whether it is "Deserved Sin" or God's Jealous Talent, we have no idea.

Having said that, Monroe is still only the sensuality of an era, living in the paintings of that era. She is a sex symbol, reflecting how many drunken fans. Now, how can we guess that she is also true and illusion in her smile? Therefore, no matter how much light and shadow are described, it is impossible to restore the brilliance of her in the eyes of people at that time, but can only leave the brilliance of the actor in the future, imitate and interpret her for a moment, so that we can remember her for a long time. . I also sigh that this world is stable and the years are quiet, I am afraid that there will be no more women like Monroe.
