When it comes to "The Seven-Year Itch", many friends must have heard of the film. In this film, sexy actress Marilyn Monroe's sexy photo of her skirt being blown up by the wind is still on fire today. is a classic. "The Seven Year Itch" tells the story of the male protagonist Richard Salman and the beautiful neighbor played by Monroe who met unexpectedly because of a flowerpot. The male protagonist and his wife have been married for seven years. The temptation of a beautiful neighbor, the male protagonist has always been on the dividing line between self-restraint and release desire. The film also exposes the true psychology of men facing the temptations of the seven-year itch. In addition to Marilyn Monroe's sexy style, returning to the film itself, is this film worthy of being called a classic? I have roughly the following thoughts. If you look at the viewing level of modern audiences, the film "The Seven Year Itch" is not a classic. This film is too direct and deliberate for modern audiences. For example, when the male protagonist was reviewing the script in his garden, he repeated three times, "The repression of middle-aged men is both the cause and the effect." But it's too direct and deliberate for the modern audience, and it can make the audience feel blunt. Judging from the scene setting of the film, the main scene is too single. Most of the scenes in the film are the male protagonist's home and office. The single scene will make the audience lack a sense of expectation, and even cause movie-watching fatigue, which is less attractive to the audience. . The last is the irrationality of the character setting. The male protagonist's imagination is too rich. In the film, the male protagonist imagines a series of events such as his wife cheating, many women showing love to him, and a beautiful neighbor spending a spring night with him. For modern audiences , the difference between the male protagonist and the reality is too far, which makes it difficult for the audience to resonate, and it is difficult to achieve a better communication effect. When modern audiences watch "The Seven-Year Itch", the greatest enjoyment may lie in Marilyn Monroe. Her many classic looks in the film are still fascinating to this day. At the same time, I have to say that "The Seven-Year Itch" Controversial in terms of modern aesthetics, the film was released in 1955. Although the film was in a mature stage at that time, many technologies had become perfect, and it began to become a film and television art, but it was still far from the modern shooting methods and technical conditions. It is impossible to one-sidedly deny the influence of this film. Today, the dilemma of human desire and restraint revealed by the film is still worth thinking about.
