Five minutes before the opening of "A Week with Marilyn", you see only Michelle Williams trying to play Marilyn Monroe , You may have to sweat for this young actress who started making independent films. But after five minutes passed, you forgot everything. You became every spotlight, and became Collin's eyes. You can no longer do without this woman named Marilyn. There is no doubt that you are the most famous and mysterious in history. Female star. After watching the movie, everything is again about the actor named Michelle Williams, and she succeeded.
First of all, apart from sharing the same blonde hair, Williams and Monroe are hardly in appearance to the point where she is the only one to act. If it is said that Williams' interpretation of Monroe, who is so powerful on the stage and made all men worship under his pomegranate dress, is still a little weak-it is because if anyone can do it, then there will be no such unique Monroe in the world-then afterwards The delicate and fragile woman, who was like a free deer when she was happy, was vividly restored by Michelle Williams half a century later. If you insist on saying who is familiar with the real Monroe? So to say the least, what Williams successfully restored was what Monroe looked like in our heads.
The reason why Monroe is inexhaustible is because she is a complete contradiction: she is hailed as the "ultimate sexy queen", but she is innocent and innocent; she is like a puppet when she is a little bird by her husband Manipulating men; she is nervously fragile and has depression and must be supported by drugs, and she is also a display maniac who seems to be born for the lens. She looks big-minded and brainless, but she speaks again and again and is extremely wise. Such a weird woman carrying all the characteristics and their opposites just satisfies the fantasy of all men.
Michelle Williams is not that legendary. She debuted at a very young age. After starring in a series of less famous TV series and movies, Williams opened her "Brookeback Mountain" to her "tour of supporting roles": After Ang Lee, she appeared in more than one "Gold Medal" "In the director's work: Todd Haynes' "Where am I", Charlie Kaufman's "New York Synonymy", Martin Scorsese's "Bounded Island"... Even so, she His popularity is still more as an ex-girlfriend of Heath Ledger. What can really see the essence of her performance in "A Week with Marilyn" lies in the other two films in which she is alone but not so famous. In "Wendy and Lucy", which is "independent" in production and rhythm, Williams plays a young girl who drives to Alaska but is trapped halfway by a car crash. She is arrested for stealing a dog and lost her pet. Most of the film Time is almost when Michelle is looking for a dog, a pure "one-man show". In "Blue Valentine's Day", although there are rival dramas, there are not many ups and downs. It is just the repression and expression of emotions between two people, finishing a simple heartbreaking love story.
The high sensitivity to emotions and interpretation is that Williams has already seen it before "A Week with Marilyn". Therefore, the appearance of this time is not "awesome", but a consolidation, but it is still unavoidable that his acting skills are praised in almost every film review. Williams is able to control it because this movie is not about a stage queen, but a woman. Monroe has every fleeting feeling and thought of a woman: fear, heartbreak, tremor, restlessness, comfort, sweetness, freedom, madness, cunning, sadness, anxiety, narcissism, inferiority, concentration of love, being The ecstasy of love, the sorrow of falling out of favor...and these are just a few we can recognize from the countless expressive eyes of Williams. Some people may still not understand why a picture has an appearance (this is also specifically described in the movie: Monroe said when he heard Da Vinci's name: "Oh, that's the one that painted the lady who laughed strangely?") Hollywood actresses can become a symbol of an era. I didn't understand it at first, but it seems that this is the case. I have to be persuaded, persuaded by history and Williams' performance. The bright and clean landscapes and solemn castles of England are not as good as this American visitor with a grin. A woman is a mystery, and Monroe is the most extreme form of this mystery.
Michelle Williams has more than luck and talent. Williams has prepared for this film for more than half a year. In an interview, she said: "I have not been a student for a long time, but for this film, I have done my homework: reading books, watching her movies, and being immersed in her every day. In the world, wake up with Monroe in the morning and sleep with her in the evening..." "I hope to enter the role naturally when shooting, rather than just'act' something." Someone published the Monroe version and the Williams version on Youtube In "The Prince and the Dancing Girl", the words of the dancing girl answering the prince’s mother are played side by side and synchronously, and the similarity is incredibly high. As for the dancing in the study, you can even say that Williams is more amorous than Monroe, and even more Marilyn Monroe. I think at that moment, not many people will look at this woman on the screen again and the impression of someone who is an ex-girlfriend will appear in their minds.
"A Week with Marilyn" is smooth and interesting, but the movie itself is not conventional. The backstage stories of movie stars have been filmed a thousand times, and the unknown romantic anecdotes of historical celebrities have been filmed a thousand times because of the lack of childhood. After love, the story of being crazy about love was filmed a thousand times. But some things don’t get tired of watching it a thousand times, such as Marilyn Monroe, such as Marilyn Monroe played by Michelle Williams.
(Synopsis of the story: This film is about the backstage story of Marilyn Monroe going to the UK to film "The Prince and the Dancing Girl". The original hope of this "Prince and the Dancing Girl" is the strong alliance between Britain and the United States, and invited the best actor Sir Lawrence Olivier in the world. And Marilyn Monroe, the world’s hottest star, unfortunately, this film is famous in film history because the hero and the heroine are completely inadequate. But this film is from the third deputy director of "The Prince and the Dancing Girl" (to be exact It's an errand guy) Colin Clark's angle, about his "miracle" experience.)
