Being Marilyn Monroe

Producer Colin Clarke revealed his love history with Monroe in his later years. This fact is a little bit bloody, after all, one party has passed away for so long, and there is no proof. Fortunately, Colin wasn't an unknown person afterwards, and he was so old when he published this book, and there was no need for eyeballs, so let's just take it for the time being. In addition to understanding celebrity gossip, the biggest point of this book is to provide another angle to understand Marilyn Monroe-although her various scandals have long been chewed up by people, I don't care about this time.

To be honest, it is estimated that there are not many works of Marilyn Monroe that movie fans have actually seen. Including me. Life and marriage obviously know more than her movies. She is not so much known as an actress to take a photo history, as she is remembered as a sexy stunner. Lawrence Oliver said that she was a "natural actor", but in the final analysis, his requirement of her was just "just to be sexy", because she only had to show off sexy and be herself in the movie, and everyone would be very satisfied. NS. However, Monroe obviously still cares about the profession of "actor" very much, otherwise she wouldn't take that Paula everywhere. It’s just that Paula is an art instructor in name, and it’s more like playing the role of a psychological counselor. The biggest help she provides is not in acting guidance, but always cheering Monroe so that she feels pretty good. Cattle. In Oliver's words, it's "constantly flattering her and flattering her."

Although Monroe often plays some big-chested idiots, she is certainly not stupid. She has self-knowledge, is not confident about her acting skills, cares a lot about the evaluation of others, and really wants to improve. But as soon as she said she wanted to learn, others laughed, thinking that she had this figure to make capital, and she just had to fool around with her acting skills. Even Oliver herself didn't really care how good she was in acting. If Monroe is really stupid and An Anxin is a well-behaved, innocent and simple-minded silly girl, then she will not have so much trouble, obediently listen to the director’s words, come to the set on time every day, respect the old, love the young, and be kind to others. The result will be It will be harmonious, very harmonious. It happened that she still had some thoughts about acting, and wanted to do better, so she was nervous. Because I was nervous, I needed to take medicine. After taking the medicine, I was in a bad state. I was often late and had a stiff relationship with the crew, so I became more nervous...Such a vicious circle.

This is Marilyn Monroe's cup.

In addition to movies, another important content in Monroe's life is the need for men. In fact, she needs a man far more than a man needs her. In her own words, she needs love and family. But it is not true.

This time, the seven-day love between her and the studio assistant was described as very sincere and innocent, swimming naked in the river, outings with arms, and sleeping together for a few nights, and it was limited to kisses until the end. To her, he is like a man who has gone through vicissitudes of life meeting a girl who has not been involved in the world, it is a fresh and natural wind. Every man in the world wants to have sex with her, and he is the only one who is already satisfied as soon as he kisses Fangze. For him, she was not only dazzled by the stunning appearance, but also pitying for her fragility and helplessness. That's why he said: "Others don't understand you", more than boldly asking her to give up everything and live an ordinary life by herself. He thought he knew her well, and he thought he could provide all the things that made her happy. What a naive boy!

This kind of story is probably not the first time in Monroe, such as another agent who has spent ten days with her. Anyway, as long as she needs it, there is always a man around her who is willing to lend a hand. Just as she needs Paula to always be around to cheer for her acting skills, emotionally, she also needs a man to hold and coax. She is helpless, so she needs to rely on it at any time; she is fragile, so she always needs comfort. And seeing a strong showing a weaker side often gives the weak an illusion, as if he has become stronger and can be able to protect her (it is an honor to be able to be needed by someone stronger than yourself, and it will be at a certain moment. Make the weak feel good). Poor little Colin can't tell the situation, and is far less sober than the old and spicy Lawrence Oliver-Monroe does not need help from others, she is strong enough-this is really hit the nail on the head!

Occasionally a day off shift, taking a young man out to run wild, for Monroe, it is a spiritual adjustment, relaxation after work. No matter how boring life is, that is also her reality, everything she has worked hard for, how can she really return to the mountains and forests from now on. After the movie, she turned around and went back to her own world, leaving him behind and reading her for a lifetime.

It is not true that Monroe does not yearn for love and family. It's just that her love is not too little, but too much. With Al Miller, Johnny Hyde, and even the rest of the lovers, which one was not in love with earth-shattering and dying in the beginning? Miller is enough to spoil her and accompany her to Europe for filming, but he is not an unknown third-level assistant. He can just go around Monroe regardless of the whole day. The great writer has his own work to complete, but he will be obliged to even write a diary. The wife took a peek and then went crazy, and Miller, who could not tolerate it, had to run away. Monroe expressed more than once that she wanted to have a stable home, be a good wife, and have a bunch of children, while others only regarded her as Marilyn Monroe. If she was not, others would be disappointed. The implication is that she not only wants to act as a porn star in public, but also in private life, so it is too tiring. But then again, if she is not Marilyn Monroe, but an ordinary female worker, Norma Jane, how can she marry Al Miller and make people like Oliver and Kennedy fall under the pomegranate skirt? Remove the skin of Marilyn Monroe, she is at best the little Lucy girl who is in charge of clothing, watching her lover fall into the arms of the popular female star.

At the beginning, work hard, work harder, want to be Marilyn Monroe, then hate and dislike it, try to get rid of it, trying to find herself (Monroe once vomited and made her popular Hollywood said: Hollywood is a place where they' ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. In Hollywood, people are willing to exchange one thousand dollars for your kiss, but they are only willing to pay 50 cents for your soul). In the process, a woman named Norma Jane Mortyson had a split personality. In the end, she ended her tragic struggle with an overdose of sleeping pills.
