The Unknown Side of Monroe

I watched "The Seven Year Itch" again yesterday. The single plot makes it a bit long and fast food. If it weren't for Monroe, it might be difficult for someone to watch it a second time or make it such a classic. Because of this film, "The Seven-Year Itch" has been widely used in the topic of sexual relations. Monroe's graceful and sexy appearance has also become a married man's fantasy of his dream lover. Although I have only seen this Wilder movie, I don't know much about American movies of that era, and I dare not comment on the director and the plot, but it is undoubtedly a very successful evaluation based on the social influence of the film. About the "seven-year itch" - desire The scientific basis for the "seven-year itch" is that our cells complete an overall metabolism every seven years on average. In other words, 7 years can give us the right to Say Goodbye with our past self. If I said 7 years ago that every cell in my body is crazy for you and loves you so much, then 7 years later when I say I still love you, it is actually new cells that are helping me remember What a generation of cells have done, I now have the feeling that I used to love you. This time, either I love you all over again, or I will fall in love with someone else easily. This is probably the test of the "seven-year itch" for love and marriage. Regarding the constancy and loyalty to love and marriage, we have always praised, praised and pursued, and I am no exception. But I am more inclined to stand on the neutral side of most people's criticism and abuse of infidelity in love and marriage. Schopenhauer said, "Life is a mass of desires, and if desires are not satisfied, they suffer." In fact, human life is a back and forth between desire and satisfaction. When one desire is satisfied, the next desire will follow. When a relationship goes from being novel and enthusiastic at the beginning to being regular and dull, and new ideas and behaviors appear, it is actually the drive and expression of new desires. So the question arises, is desire right or wrong, good or bad? In the film, there are mainstream values ​​in our real life. A good husband and a good man will definitely be able to keep loneliness, just like the hero Tom Lenovo thinks, not only exudes the masculine charm that thousands of women are fascinated by, but also has Liuxia. Hui sits with undisturbed strength. But this is contradictory to reality. According to what the girl played in Monroe's film said, the real Tom is not a "tall and handsome" handsome guy, but a "gentle, kind, cautious", and The "nervous, shy" man. Although Tom finally defended himself, the process was extremely difficult and tormenting, and his inner emotions were even a little deformed and perverted. He fantasized about a wonderful and crazy story with the blonde played by Monroe countless times. A normal man's primitive desire to release himself under the pressure of abiding society and family is the driving force of "primitive male attraction". It can be seen that such a man who strives to be a "good husband" also has Affair desire. Desire is the embodiment of human nature, no matter right or wrong, the important thing is whether you can control your desires. In the opinion of most of us, the existence of this kind of desire is an extremely morally corrupt thing. Even the hero himself thinks that his thoughts and attempts are a mistake, a psychological problem, and will be spurned by everyone. So he asked the psychologist who wrote "Man's Subconscious" to help him analyze his mistakes, and the psychologist replied that "psychological analysis cannot determine right or wrong, but only finds the root cause in the subconscious." The three parties told the audience that the idea of ​​"the seven-year itch" is normal. More than 80% of married men have this idea. We should understand this phenomenon with tolerance. For such an "itch", the psychiatrist's advice to Tom is more direct: "scratch it when it itches." We always use a metaphysical way of thinking to judge the right or wrong of a thing. Black and white values ​​often lead to our one-sided public opinion attitude. Just like the "Wang Baoqiang divorce" incident that dominated the headlines of N days a few days ago, This kind of cyber violence has reduced our tolerance to 0, but how can things in this world be so extreme? Is it because civilizations insist on right and wrong that they are eager for quick success and quick success? In this way, let's look at "The Seven Year Itch", an old film from 1955, which seems so realistic. The film tries to make the audience understand such a "seven-year itch" by showing Tom's extremely contradictory psychological struggle and the final correct choice, as well as the very pleasant and simple "potential affair" image performed by Monroe. After all, a beautiful woman, what is her desire? About Marilyn Monroe - destined to be a "dream" and rarely watch old movies, About Marilyn Monroe, this is the only one, but I have heard some anecdotes about Monroe's life. Menglu lived in poverty and was the illegitimate daughter of a woman suffering from schizophrenia. She had been displaced from various wonderful host families since she was a child. She married at the age of 16 and started her first marriage. Later, because of taking pictures as a model, she began to step into the road of interpretation, and she grew into a peerless superstar step by step. During this period, she experienced two failed marriages. Since then, rumors have circulated between the Kennedy brothers, and the suicide at the age of 36 is also inextricably linked to the Kennedy family. In "The Seven Year Itch", Monroe played a charming heartthrob, and countless men told her that they wanted to marry her. This is so similar to the real Monroe, but the real Monroe is different. Yu is sweet and innocent, silly and innocent of the blonde in the film, and Monroe in the film is more like the simple and plain little Norma before she entered Hollywood and changed her name. It is rumored that Monroe was sexually assaulted by her adoptive father when she was 9 years old. It can be said that her fate was turbulent. Her growth experience was different from ordinary people, and she was destined to be complicated and extraordinary. After entering Hollywood, the intertwining of halo, politics, and power doomed her emotional world to be complicated and difficult. She's charming, she's bohemian, she's crazy about champagne and drunk. She is an absolute sexy stunner. It seems like a cool thing for such a sexy actress who has conquered the world to get the love of Mr. President. There are many rumors about her anecdotes in the market: she is the pillow lover of President Kennedy, has a triangular relationship with the Kennedy brothers, and even secretly had an abortion for President Kennedy's brother... But she still loves President Kennedy. On May 29, 1962, Monroe sang a birthday song for President Kennedy at Madison Square - a golden and transparent evening dress that only she dared to wear, with the phrase "Happy birthday, Mr.President!" "It's so sexy and seductive to the extreme. From then on, rumors about Monroe and President Kennedy's extramarital affairs began to gradually surface in the public eye, and it was in that year that Monroe died. I read an article about Monroe. The article mentioned that "the most touching thing in the world is the death of a beautiful woman", especially such a woman who is loved by thousands of people. I admire the kind of woman who will fall in love with her whenever she touches her , and once she falls in love with someone, she will fall in love madly. Monroe is such a woman, and so is Xiao Hong in Xu Anhua's "Golden Age". Such a woman is very charming, but she is easily hurt. In the turbulent times of the children, Xiao Hong died tragically in an empty hospital alone, so lonely. And Monroe, who became a political victim because of her love for President Kennedy, died naked on the bed in her bedroom , is also so lonely. Before writing this article, I deliberately looked up Monroe's life experience, and unexpectedly found that this legendary and charming actress was actually a poetess. She is keen on literature and has read "Especially" Lysis, read Dostoevsky, read Milton, wanted to play Faust, wanted to play The Brothers Karamazov... This seems to be a side of her that we don't know well , is also destined to be a woman with a story. She said: "Men are willing to pay a lot of money to buy me a kiss, but they don't want to spend fifty cents to understand my soul. Finally, a few lines from her poem: "Only parts of uswill ever touch parts of others — one's own truth is just that really — one's own truth. We can only share the part that is within another'sknowing acceptable so one" (Between the touches, it's only part of a person's truth, and it's only one's own truth. What we can share can only be accepted by others.) Marilyn Monroe, a woman like a dream. Qing Ben beautiful, how can such a fragrant disappear jade die.

The Seven Year Itch quotes

  • Richard Sherman: [reading the label on a soft drink] "Contains carbonated water, citric acid, corn syrup, artificial raspberry flavoring, pure vegetable colors and preservative." I'd like Dr. Summers to explain to me why this stuff should be better for you than a little scotch, plain water, and a twist of lemon? I'd really like to know.

  • Richard Sherman: I bet she thinks I'm gonna have girls up here. You know, that's terrible thing. Seven years we've been married and not once I've done anything like that. Not once! Don't think I couldn't have either. Because I could have, plenty. But, plenty.
