Adapted from the diary of the client (Colin Clark). The title refers to when Monroe was invited by Laurence Olivier to go to the UK to film "The Dragon and the Phoenix". After her husband Arthur Miller left, she had an ambiguous relationship with the crew's younger brother Colin for a week. Regardless of the authenticity of this matter itself, it is undoubtedly a good film and television theme, and we can also take this to cherish the memory of the goddess who has unknowingly left us for 50 years-Marilyn Monroe. So, it can be said that this is a quasi-biopic.
The classic idea of ​​biopics is to expose the unknown side of celebrities while maintaining the original public image of celebrities. This film is no exception. Monroe’s sexy and charming amorous feelings are her signature, her capricious drug addiction is no longer a secret, but her dreams and her heart are little known. This may also explain her 36-year-old life. When he chose to commit suicide, later generations were still confused by the tragedy of divergent opinions. Through Monroe's own mouth, this film allows us to glimpse the struggle and pursuit, innocence and fragility behind her glamour. She is obsessed with method acting. She is kind and vain, easily emotional and easily injured, and is good at using her charm and even her body. She is not confident in her performance, and has longed to be an excellent actor all her life, but she has never gotten rid of the label of a sexy stunner. In 1998, Monroe ranked sixth among the greatest actresses of the 20th century by the American Film Institute. If she is alive in the sky, she would be very pleased.
The performance of the protagonist often directly determines the quality of the biopic. Michelle Williams had spent 6 months familiarizing herself with information, movies and interviews about Monroe, gaining weight and learning to walk, and finally handed over a nearly perfect answer sheet, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress (Musical Comedy) Class) deserves its name. But the only problem is that the porn star image of her with a sweet smile and Monroe, the first playboy girl, is so different; every time the men in the show make a fascinating expression, I can't help but want to scold." Are you all blind?" The American film critics praised Michelle's performance, but said nothing about her appearance. Can they really tell the difference?
