Filming a biographical film is the most risky and the most difficult. It must be taken for granted that the audience's critical eyes and perfectionist review standards must be shouldered. Just like pirated copies can never be compared with genuine copies (except for the river crab country), there is no such thing in the world. The second Monroe, the alluring country and the city, will appear for no reason, and the actors will naturally have to accept huge pressure and challenges. Not only must they spend a lot of energy and talent to seek image, truth and expressiveness, but also to cope with There are thousands of strict and harsh public jury panels with strong subjective emotions, and the plot also has to be perfect, objective and rational to restore reality or dig out more little-known mysterious materials to satisfy the audience's curious gossip psychology. give a more comprehensive understanding.
In my opinion, biographical films can generally be roughly divided into two types. One is to casually put some unknown experiences and secrets in the real life of the protagonist on the screen, and to gain attention purely by celebrity effects. Commercial channels, instead of being the icing on the cake, have become the target of public criticism, tarnishing the perfect image in the hearts of the audience and provoking countless criticism and scorn; the other is a film work completed with sincerity and respect It was well received and became a classic. The movie "My Week with Monroe" gave me the feeling that it was difficult to find a balance between the two. All in all, I was still a little disappointed. The biggest surprise and comfort to me was only in Williams' expressive and moving performance.
In the eyes of some people, Williams may not be the best choice to play Monroe. Her face is too mediocre and even contains a little simplicity. It is not as dazzling, charming and charming as Monroe, and it is difficult to perform convincingly. And satisfied, but the effect is quite the opposite, quite stunning and moving, and in my opinion, the director is more discerning about heroes and knows how to pick people. Williams has always been an actor that I admire and like very much, maybe from the outside. It seems ordinary and low-key, but through a deep understanding of the role, excellent acting talent, increasingly sophisticated acting skills and dedicated devotion, she can perform every role in a very good position and move people's hearts. This kind of power that can turn corruption into magic, invisibly induces the audience's natural appreciation and love.
In the movie, Williams stunned me as soon as she appeared. She did not play Monroe in such a rigid and dull manner, but added some unique temperament and taste of her own on the basis of playing Monroe. , her every move, every gesture, and even the gesture and tone of her speech, coupled with the appropriate portrayal of her character and life, she performed vividly and at the same time more vivid, a simple and infinitely charming blowing kiss or wink It has made people helpless, subconsciously dazzled by her, unable to take my eyes off her, my attention has completely ignored the development of the plot, and I only eagerly look forward to "Monroe" The again and again... the appearance.
But this also leads to the flaws in the plot, like a personal show, which seems a little vague and loose. The flow of the story is even simple enough to be summed up in one sentence. It tells the dream of becoming a Hollywood star within a week during filming. A hazy and short-lived love affair between Lu and the fledgling assistant director on the set, but the biggest shortcoming and regret of the film is that the huge light and charm of Monroe makes everything around him appear dull and unattractive power, including the entire story structure and lack of a deeper and more moving portrayal of their love for each other, but there's no denying that's one of the highlights of the film, at least Williams' stunning interpretation seems to have brought Monroe back to the screen. It can only be said to be a person's splendor, because it is too focused and eye-catching. Although it can maintain the most basic level of the movie "A Week With Monroe", it is difficult to make it a classic.
In front of everyone, she is the jewel in the palm of the crowd, a dazzling professional actress in front of the camera, but behind her back is an impeccable perfect face and the heavy pressure swept from all sides, she is trapped in pain and hopeless In the abyss of relying on drugs to hypnotize and even paralyze the self, until the tragic death, leaving the world with infinite memories and memories. In the eyes of the public, Monroe may be one of the most famous sexy actresses in Hollywood, who is envied and hated. She is infinitely sought after and loved. She has a brilliant and legendary life. The bitterness and pain in private, through this film, reflects the unknown and distressing side of Monroe's brilliance. In order to always stand at the highest point held up by everyone, he does not hesitate to sacrifice a happy life and pay a short period of time. The price of life is a shame.
