I wanted to give five stars throughout the whole process, but in the end I felt that the spirit of the male protagonist was too abnormal, to an unacceptable level, so I deducted one star.
The stories of that period seem to be so complicated that there are other threads parallel to it besides the main story line. For example, at the beginning, the male protagonist quit smoking, quitting drinking and not sticking to flowers. This is a set, but then he gradually began to smoke and drink after he gradually became obsessed with Monroe, even to the point of unconsciousness. At first I thought that book was also one of the clues, but then I found out that the book in the middle part is not useful. There are many traces in the adaptation of the stage play, such as dramatic monologues, stylized fantasy fragments, and some other features in language, such as the doctor's patient who jumped out of the window. This kind of humor appears in the movie. Some are less common, but may work well in the field. But the movie completely embraced this kind of adaptation, like when the male protagonist was bartending and Monroe was thinking about how to stay overnight, in the stage play, the two may be separated in space, and the lights may be used to only speak. It is in people to create the feeling that the two people are not communicating on the same level. (I haven't seen the stage version) and the movie uses the camera to completely separate the two, so that people can't find the feeling that they are in the same room. Monroe's expression changes are too rich, her voice is really unique, and she has not always played a simple and brainless role, but hidden wisdom under beauty, as in "Gentlemen Prefer Beauty". The last scene, "Maybe it's Marilyn Monroe!" was so funny, it made me laugh.
