1. Monroe doesn't look alike. But Michelle Williams played it really well and has always been my favorite actor. She created a Monroe herself, and she fully performed Shen Yun, which was very enjoyable to watch. Of course, it's also a big problem to look alike. You must forget about Monroe's appearance in order to watch her performance.
2. The supporting role is not right.
Sir Lawrence has the air of a naive uncle, unlikable from start to finish. Might as well let Kevin Spacey play it, much more handsome than him.
Julia Ormond's Vivien Leigh is the one I can't stand the most. I didn't want to believe that it was Vivien Leigh of the peerless elegance, Vivien Leigh! Julia is already old, and when she played opposite Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall, she looked older than Pitt. Now it's too old to take care of, with that makeup, that uneven eyeliner. Although she is not an important role, she played a very important woman in history after all.
Emma Watson. She's more of a big name in my heart than playing an unimportant little seamstress. This role doesn't matter what you want, you can just find another beautiful girl, there is nothing special, and Emma's beauty and experience are wasted.
Still, the bodyguard and Paula were interesting.
Some people say that the male protagonist is not good-looking. I don't think he's good-looking or not is important to this drama at all, although I think he's very distinctive, has a unique tone, and is very good-looking. However, his role is too large, and there is no challenge at all in the straightforward narrative, and there is no tension in the role. This is the problem of the storyline.
3. This is a story without too much plot. The only focus is on Williams' performance, which inevitably feels a little unbalanced. But luckily Williams survived the show. Freckled boy Eddie also cooperated well.
