I have always liked Monroe very much, I have seen almost all of her famous films, and "Hot Like Fire" is one of the best films she has ever acted in. Since there are two other male movie stars in this movie, Monroe's limelight seems to be overshadowed a bit (compared to her other movies). And the script and lines of this movie are very good. Such a sophisticated movie, coupled with a luxurious lineup, really gave the audience a delicious meal. However, I personally think that if you want to fully appreciate the style of Monroe herself, you actually have to look at several other movies she has acted that are not particularly wonderful, such as "You Dragon and Phoenix" --- Monroe made this movie It was very painful. Of course, the plot and lines of the movie itself are difficult to compare with "Passionate Like Fire". It is a relatively old-fashioned story, but this movie is almost supported by Monroe alone. That's why I like her----- As long as there is a Monroe movie, no matter how bad the plot is, she can hold the movie up by herself, and she has this charm that you can't take your eyes off her ( Even if I am 100% straight), even if she plays a vase with a similar character in every movie, but you are willing to watch her play a vase hundreds of times, and you will never get tired of watching it.
In "Passionate Like Fire", Monroe is still in that role. Fortunately, the male protagonist who plays with her this time is more handsome, and she can be regarded as a handsome man and a beautiful match with Monroe. Monroe doesn't have to be as courteous to old men or unattractive male leads as she does in other movies. Why is Monroe's vase role so attractive? I summarize mainly her innocence + sexy + independence. In any movie, when she charms the male protagonist, she is like a flower that gradually blooms, showing her fragrance without reservation, and it seems that she has never been hurt. But she is not stupid and throws herself directly to the male protagonist. If you carefully observe her interaction with the male protagonist, there are actually a lot of small seductions, but they are not real scheming---I think she is from a male perspective Very smart girls, not the kind of academic and talented intelligence, but very understanding of the art of interaction between men and women. From this point of view, I think she is far from a real brainless vase. In fact, she looks more natural and feminine than many "big feminist" characters now. Although she loves every role unreservedly, she never has a role of a grumpy woman (at least I haven't seen one), and every time she is "temporarily abandoned" by the male protagonist in the movie, she always smiles Say goodbye, no longer entangle, and tears will flow behind the actor's back. So although she is famous for her sexy meatballs, in fact, her roles are not vulgar, but are pure + cute + sexy + noble --- you can say that her roles lack book-type wisdom (she never does There is no serious profession in the movie, but it is really hard to say that this is a vulgar, do not take herself seriously, full of dusty woman, even if every role she plays is very rich doctrine.
It's a pity that in our current era, we don't know how many people really appreciate Monroe. In our era, full of so many ideological things, coupled with the vigorous feminist movement, it may be difficult to look at the various roles played by Monroe completely without moral judgment. Although I personally support women's rights, I am willing to let go of all thoughts about Monroe and just appreciate this woman like a flower or a cloud---because I think this is the essence of Monroe's charm, she is a woman A living work of art, she has been shaping her own feminine charm all her life. It is very difficult for actresses to do this now. Many people are working hard to play various types of roles and are honing their acting skills; no one will be like Monroe, just trying to be a vase for a lifetime , to be a 100% woman. In our time, there are many excellent actresses with superb acting skills; but I have found that if you are looking for truly beautiful women, you have to look for them in old movies - to see how they show their charm and how they interact with men. The protagonists interact, especially to appreciate the aura that is unique to women (not smart, not competent, but a kind of spirituality).
