When acting goes beyond appearance

When I saw MW on the poster, my first impression was that she didn't look like Monroe. When I learned that she won the Golden Globe Award for this film, I decided to see how this actor who didn't look like Monroe played Monroe. , the result is that I fell in love with her after 2 minutes of the film, and after 30 minutes I was infatuated with her. I can't resist this unique charm even a woman, let alone a man? MW restores a real Monroe for us, her fragility and strength, her happiness and sadness, her innocence and sexiness, she is an individual full of contradictions, but these seemingly contradictory two sides have created her extraordinary charm, The actress's loving interpretation made me gradually ignore the difference in appearance between her and Monroe in the process of watching the movie, and I also forgot that she was playing Monroe, I think she is Monroe. It was not until the end of the film that the black and white images and the touching piano melody finally shattered my eye sockets, and I didn't realize that when I was young, Yiren had passed away. I think it's pointless to dwell on the similarity between the actor and Monroe at this moment, her performance, touching the heart, is enough.
