The film "My Week with Monroe" tells the story of Marilyn Monroe's time with Colin, an assistant employed by the producer Lawrence Oliver, in the British filming of "The Dragon and the Phoenix" in the 1950s. The film has a unique narrative angle. It describes the state, character, mood, work, habits, etc. of the heartthrob Monroe from Colin's perspective. Feel. It can be seen from the film that Monroe is a woman who is extremely insecure and needs attention and love. From a psychological point of view, Colin gave Monroe the most needed psychological comfort and satisfaction during this special period. Monroe was displaced in her childhood (doesn't know who her biological father was, she was once in an orphanage, and she was fostered), and she experienced several failed marriages, which made her psychologically hurt and longed for an ordinary woman. needed love. Although I met the sunny, honest and loving Colin by chance, the brief encounter was not destined to change Monroe's life. So a few years later, Monroe failed to marry again and eventually died of an overdose, which is also a reasonable thing. The two leading actors in the film are in a good position, especially Michelle Williams, although there is still a gap between her appearance and Monroe, but it is commendable that she showed Monroe's "god", whether it is physical performance or eyesight. And expression control, are very accurate. Emma Watson, the "Hermione" who became famous in "Harry Potter", also starred in this film, which is still fresh and beautiful and impressive.
