The first Monroe I watched, even if she played American Sweet Girl, would make people think she was a very smart and talented actress.

When watching it, the male roommate laughed and the female roommate occasionally laughed, but she felt that she had been enduring it in the second half and gradually accumulated dissatisfaction with Joe. After the end, the female roommate said that this man is too scumbag. The male roommate said, this is a movie, isn't it also mocking men?

I said yes, but I wouldn't do that for male characters these days. In the past few decades, everyone may have liked Wei Xiaobao's style, a rogue man with a mouth full of trains, and he would be forgiven for occasionally revealing his true feelings. Not anymore. It's not that capital is kind, it's just that the audience doesn't pay. Its flaws can be detected with a slight sensitivity, so do you still want to watch these kinds of movies? So can Lolita be read without moral angst? It depends on you, another cliché, it's all up to you.

When I saw that I wanted to laugh later, I felt that this laugh made me a little uneasy. What is this unease? Is it politically correct? Or is it because of a roommate's displeasure that I feel like I can't laugh too loudly? It may be partly self-righteous and superfluous emotions, a hindsight's sudden sympathy for Monroe's ill-fated fate. In the movie, she plays a blonde sexy girl and speaks silly lines, but it is a bit like the curse of her future life, American girl, spring jelly, no bright girl. But what's next, am I going to have a tirade on the history of women's exploitation in America using Monroe as an example? I'm also not qualified to give a feminist performance.
