Of course, we don’t have to worry too much about this. After all, movies are just a tool for entertaining the public, and Michelle Williams is very charming and devoted himself to the role. The storyline of the movie is actually very simple. It is not about Monroe’s tragic life that many people are familiar with, but it tells a little-known short love history-with the little-known young assistant during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl" The seven-day ambiguous relationship between the directors. This entry point is very pleasing, it satisfies most people's curiosity that likes to dig out gossip news. But if you think that this love will be full of glamorous scenes or how shocking the world is, you may be disappointed. Monroe and this big boy named Colin Clark, in just one week, from Colin's unilateral admiration, to becoming friends, and then attracting each other, Monroe nestled with him in search of peace of mind, and their feelings were exploding. Cunqian had to stop abruptly, and finally with the friendly but sentimental separation, the dreamlike seven-day dream woke up. Yes, they kissed, slept in the same bed, and faced each other naked, Monroe from the beginning to the end showed a reserve and painful struggle that was different from her sexy appearance. On the one hand, there was career, husband, and the status built so far, on the other hand. In the second half of her life of love and freedom and ease, she shed tears, endured the torture of drugs and various pressures and chose the former.
If, as they say, this story is true, it happened and ended in 1957, and Monroe was found dead in her bedroom in 1962, five years later. It turned out that the end of her life gave her another choice here 5 years ago.
There is no doubt that Hollywood created the myth of Monroe, but she herself became a sacrifice to this myth. After World War II, American society admired big breasts and sexy beauties to an almost abnormal level. This can be seen from many caricatures or advertising posters at that time. Hollywood, a star-making factory, creates popular lovers that meet the tastes of American men in accordance with the needs of the market. In the beginning, Monroe was just one of them, but she stood out with her natural affinity, intelligence and hard work. When she was most successful in her career, she was seen as a guarantee for the box office, but it is also an indisputable fact that she was characterized as a big-chested blonde beauty. "Sweet girl" and "national lover" have become Monroe's labels. On the one hand, she enjoys the feeling of holding the moon among stars, and on the other hand, she resists this role from the heart. What Monroe longs for is her affirmation and Love is an affirmation of a great actress, not an appreciation for a beautiful and sexy body. So in the film, Monroe showed great distrust of the director Lawrence Oliver. Those men (the film festival was the world of men at the time) always turned her into a vase, a sex symbol that attracted the attention of men.
Monroe tore herself at the huge gap between such an inner desire and the real world. It can be seen from the film that during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl", Monroe's condition was already quite bad. Often late; a simple line has to be repeated dozens of times; nervous decline, dependence on drugs; except the closest performance teacher can not trust anyone, including her husband Arthur Miller. And what about Monroe in the original drama "The Prince and the Showgirl" in 1957? In sharp contrast, she did not bring the shadows behind the film to the camera. She was glamorous, playful and cute. Although the plot of the play was clichéd, it can be said that it was her personal charm that gave the film a bright spot. However, the people who were sitting in the theater whistling for Monroe’s swaying hips were extremely excited, who would care about her acting skills or the hard work she put in for the film, and who saw her desire and Inwardly. Therefore, while people are even more madly in love with the sweet lover Monroe on the screen, they do not know that it is pushing her into a darker abyss in reality.
In the past, I, like many people, had a prejudice against Monroe. Later, I saw this comment about her:
"Monroe is definitely not the dominant type. When she was naked, she knew that being naked is a shy thing. Even if she becomes a superstar, she smiles equally to everyone. She always stands in the position of the weak, such a woman actor less and less. her life was so naive as to believe in the 'Frailty, thy name is woman' adage, finally overwhelmed the dead, it is a woman named Marilyn Monroe woman is. "
no ambition but Inadvertently broke into the cruelest place of right and wrong. Thinking that you can get love by standing in the spotlight is farther and farther away from ordinary family love. This is Monroe, a bewildered angel, a kind and weak, a real woman.
