A name like Marilyn Monroe has been shining in Hollywood since the middle of the last century, leaving behind a string of glamorous legends. People who don't know Monroe will think that she is nothing more than a high-class sexy symbol produced by a Hollywood factory streamlined, just a vase with its appearance. Who knows that in 1957, Monroe starred in "Passion Like Fire", for this film. quality, Monroe had two miscarriages and paid the price of a lifetime of infertility.
Monroe is an illegitimate daughter, born in 1926. She spent her childhood in exile and married when she was sixteen. It is a woman born humble, beauty seems to be the only key to open the door to survival, Hollywood DreamWorks made her a sexy symbol, but on August 5, 1962, Monroe died of an overdose at home, a generation of stunners. Xiangxiaoyu died.
Sadly, Monroe hated that everyone simply classified her as a sexy symbol all her life, but she has been unable to get out of this cage; ironically, Monroe has been in the movie for 15 years and made more than 30 films. She used her youth He Meimei earned more than 200 million US dollars for Hollywood, and when she died, her bank balance was only enough to pay for her funeral expenses.
The movie "My Week with Monroe" is different from Clint Eastwood's "Hoover", which describes Hoover's life like a chronicle history book, but selects Colin's unique perspective, from Monroe's perspective. Intercepted for a week in his short life, it reflects Monroe's fragile and sensitive character from a small perspective. A love story that is just in the shadows makes the audience, like Colin, seem to accidentally break into Monroe's spiritual world and chat with her. , and everything is back in place.
Michelle Williams has accumulated calm and steady acting skills along the way from "Brokeback Mountain" and "Blue Valentine's Day". Although she does not have the stunning beauty of Monroe looking back and smiling Bai Meisheng, Xiaomi, who appeared on the stage, made every move. , when the lips are opened, it means that the six palaces have no color, and when she laughs, she dumps all beings. She cries and you cry with her. If she laughs, you want her to laugh longer. Natural and vivid. "Watching Michelle become Marilyn is the best experience of my career so far." Director Simon Curtis said, under Xiaomi's interpretation, we see a perfect and sexy goddess under the spotlight, but there is a deep and unfading inner world. Ordinary girl with low self-esteem.
Eddie Redmayne, who plays Colin, was born in London, went to Cambridge after graduating from Eton and is now a Burberry model. "This is the moment that impressed me the most: her hug, her trust in me, and the joy she brought, that's her talent. When I think of her now, I'll think of the moment when my dream came true." The handsome and shy Eddie is like a moth in the movie, even though he knows he will be hurt in the end, he still walks in the field with Monroe and only enjoys a moment of love. He took Monroe into Windsor Castle and gave her a happy, respectful, clean and warm love. Maybe for the bold and wild Monroe, it was just an affair, just to fill the broken heart, but for Colin, England's clear landscapes and solemn castles are not as good as Monroe's look back, and Monroe's A week is worth his recollection for the rest of his life. Maybe if Monroe can abandon her fame and fortune to be with Colin, then Monroe can really reap ordinary and real happiness, but in this way, Monroe is not Monroe.
The whole film is well-done in terms of scene scheduling, lines and cinematography, and the film is smooth and compact. What is particularly surprising is that it is rare to see Judi Dench so kind, Kenneth Branagh's superb acting skills, Emma's surprise, especially the film's The light and shadow colors are retro and bright, and Monroe seems to have come out of the big screen of the last century, both real and fantasy. But the film lacks the wrestling between Monroe and other female characters, such as Vivien Leigh, the actress played by Judi Dench, and the costume assistant played by Emma Watson. Monroe has become Monroe in the eyes of men. A heartwarming move.
The film is very short, but the film of more than 90 minutes shows Monroe's sad life under the gorgeous spotlight. Monroe's life is very short, but her 36-year-old life has created a fantasy that many women can't achieve.
