At the beginning, the film laid a variety of Monroe's "popular image": graceful and comfortable on the screen, when he arrived in London, the popularity was soaring, and he was not humble and witty when faced with various interviews of reporters, with her husband. Arthur Miller was sweet and happy, and when he entered the crew, he became the focus of everyone's attention. Even Vivien Leigh, who was outstanding and glamorous, began to worry about his aging beauty-but all of this was prepared for the next turning point.
After finally starting to work, Monroe showed a little discomfort when talking to Sir Laurence Olivier. The existence of Monroe's art director Paula Strasberg somewhat displeased Olivier. The conflict arising here is supposed to be quite normal during the filming process, but Monroe was shaken-and the "unprofessional performance" brought about by this shake, such as frequent lateness and leave, also triggered the UK led by Olivier The cast’s questioning of her in turn exacerbated her vacillation.
And Monroe has two methods to deal with this vacillation: comfort and medicine. Rather than getting a steady stream of even cheap comfort and encouragement from Paula, Monroe hopes to be favored by people she cares more about. In fact, at the beginning of this week, the encouragement Monroe wanted most was actually to come from Laurence Olivier, but he did not expect that both of them were in the predicament of envying each other, and Monroe’s first cheer was also More or less because Colin Clark disclosed Olivier's true thoughts to her. After this kind of search hit the wall, Monroe turned to Arthur Miller, but was deeply shocked-and in this case, Colin Clark, who was on the front line by mistake, was actually just a substitute to comfort Monroe's desire. The heart of love.
As a result, Colin Clark did much better than a substitute. He brought to Monroe many things she had never seen before, including the inner cultural confidence of Windsor Castle, Eaton and the British; he also gave Monroe many things she wanted, such as understanding, Such as respect, such as happiness, such as love. Regardless of the facts, as far as the film is concerned, I was really persuaded at the time: if Marilyn Monroe abandons her burdens in Hollywood and retreats to the English countryside with Colin Clark, she can be happy.
"I am selfish, impatient, and insecure. I often do wrong things and often lose control, but if you can't deal with my worst side, you don't deserve the best side of me." Monroe undoubtedly understands. Of her own, she also knew what she really wanted, but she was not sure enough whether to sacrifice the burdens she already had. She wants to be a real actor, an artist; she wants to prove that she is not just the sex idol Marilyn Monroe in people's hearts; at the same time, she wants to be a happy ordinary woman with her own family and baby. Sometimes dreams are incompatible. If you are reluctant to abandon some of them, it will inevitably lead to division. Monroe looked forward to Oliver's expectations, but she would not really believe his words; Monroe had the most worship in the world, but could not overcome her deep inferiority complex under her bleached blonde hair and fat pink lips; Monroe hated people Treat her as a sex symbol, but walk on this path to death.
In this week in the UK, she had the opportunity to take a step towards a real actress, and she also had the opportunity to take a step towards an ordinary woman, but she gave up; Laurence Olivier knew she was unhappy, Colin Clark knew she was unhappy, Everyone knew that she was unhappy, and she herself knew that she was unhappy, but she was helpless except for taking a lot of medicine. This week has shown us too much. The curtain of tragedy has long been unveiled-Monroe fell into an extramarital affair with JFK. It can be said that it is a war with no chance of victory, because in the mind of any man, his wife The position of Jacqueline Kennedy will always be left to Jacqueline Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe will always be just a lover. At that time, Monroe had already deviated far from her dream; and seeing us in this week seven years ago, we would inevitably sigh that there were so many opportunities that Monroe could save herself, but in the end, , What we got was just a woman who was overwhelmed by the country, with an overdose in her veins, she stopped breathing alone in her bed.
