Netfly The video is also expensive and the production cost is 22 million US dollars.

Sexy kiss, Feiyang In a white dress, wearing a diamond dress, singing for the President Kennedy ...
After all, Anna, the heroine of Monroe movies hundreds of times, said that the director had two monitors in front of him, one with Monroe and the other with Anna,
in order to completely restore Monroe's expression and movements.
In addition, this film also became the first original movie Netflix to be rated as NC-17 ((NC-17, which is a restricted level that cannot be viewed by 17 years old and under)) .
video has not yet been launched, so I have filled up the expectations.
, it’s a pity that after it went online, Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of 32%, IMDb.6, Douban has also fallen to 5.6.
What is wrong with it?
First talk about the plot of the movie.
is similar to other biopics. The film starts with Monroe's childhood and lays the theme of "Where to Go, Dad?" for the film.
Marylyn Monroe Before she traveled to Hollywood, she was still a little girl named Norma Jane.
The photo of Clark Gable is hung on the wall of the house, suggesting that Norma Jane was abandoned by a big star father, and had to give birth to her mother. She was in a complicated mood when dealing with this daughter.
When she asked her father, only her mother's beating was waiting for her, and even the torture that almost drowned her in the hot bathtub.
Afterwards, my mother was sent to a mental hospital. She was unwilling to raise Xiao Norma's neighbor and sent her to an orphanage, and began her turbulent life in orphanages and foster families.
From this painful childhood story, the director intentionally simplified all Norma Jane's words and actions when she grew up to the purpose of "finding her father".
So, everyone hugged and watched Marilyn Monroe's life, but became a crying Norma Jane performed "Where to go, Dad?"
For example, she joined the entertainment industry just to get closer to her big star father.
Not to mention, the film directly classified her starting path into the circle as being pushed down by the film producer on the casting sofa.
has no resistance, so it allowed Norma Jane to step into the film and television industry and step into the path of top stars.
film specifically uses some details to portray Hollywood, where the male perspective is dominant, how a innocent and sexy blonde girl like Norma Jane is eaten up step by step.
For example, at the beginning, Norma Jane prepared a lot for a character, and could also tell her own understanding and experience of the script and the character, but the producer sneered at her without acting skills.
and she finally got this role because of the boss's sentence "Look at that little girl's butt" .
first showed its glory in Hollywood, and Monroe began dating her rumored partner, Charlie Chaplin Jr. and Edward Robinson Jr.
In addition to having a large-scale bed scene with Charlie Chaplin Jr., they also played threesomes.
The reason why Monroe dated the two was just because of their confusion about their father's aura - it was dad again.
Next is Monroe's two marriages, one is with baseball star DiMaggio, the other is with writer Arthur Miller,
However, the director took great pains to arrange a proposal scene for his father to the previous marriage,
also made Monroe have a "call dad" habit when he was with the two.
Not to mention, in the nine-month marriage with Dimacho, the other party was furious because of Monroe's sexy photos and even engaged in domestic violence. She was naked and kneeled on the ground to defend:
"Dad, I need to work..."
And these so-called soul mates and husbands treat her in the way they treat her are different from those of the outside audience.
For example, Little Chaplin, who spent her dreamy youth with her, took Monroe's nude photo and extorted Dimacho after breaking up;
, and Dimacho fell in love with her because of Monroe's sexiness, but she despised and insulted her and mocked her for her sexiness.
Not to mention the latter husband who married her just to get the writing material.
And under the director's lens, Monroe, who needs to meet the outside world's expectations for blonde beauty, in addition to often adding color to her hair,
is fragile, sensitive, superficial, and just a vase - just like some movie characters played by Monroe in the past.
For example, after becoming famous, when she took the script, she did not consider the challenge of the character, but the first thing she was concerned about was the issue of pay.
is in the world of fame and fortune. Such a woman, in the end, can only be destroyed. In the film
, Norma Jane is regarded as a tool to meet physiological needs, and is "dedicated" to the president without dignity, becoming a toy in the celebrity circle.
Finally, he went to death because he lost the so-called "dad".
is comparable to the Hollywood version of "The Life of Matsuko Despised", the director also arranged several abortion scenes for endometriosis .
even arranged the second-formed CG fetus in the floating space and asked Monroe: You won't hurt me this time, right?
Of course, you can interpret it as this fetus is just Monroe's self-projection, but to some extent, isn't it an attack on abortionists?
It is not difficult to see that the film basically revolves around Monroe's famous sayings, creating an innocent girl with a shadow of childhood, which was destroyed step by step by step by step by step by the entertainment industry:
"A man is willing to spend a lot of money to buy me a kiss, but no one is willing to spend fifty cents to understand my soul."
However, the controversial part also appeared. For the protagonist of the film to another woman, it may be more convincing, and it feels like "Dear" is a live-action déjàn.
The film uses the gimmick of Monroe's biography, but it actually fictions most of the key plots. It is difficult not to arouse fans' disgust.
At first glance, the film, from the image of Monroe to the subsequent two marriages, can match Marilyn Monroe's life nodes,
But in fact, the film is adapted from the best-selling novel "Floating Life Like a Dream" by female writer Joyce Carol Oates , and is not a biography written after real textual research.
Therefore, Netflix specifically stated in small words on the official homepage: This film is based on novels and "fictional portrait"
, but the production team is obviously not satisfied with this. It has been promoting under the banner of Monroe since the project was established. However, in the film, Monroe was unspoken by the producer, and the three-person trip with Chaplin and others, and gifts to the president as sex are all based on gossip made up by unscrupulous tabloids.
includes the movie intentionally omitting Monroe's first marriage - she just reached the legal marriage age and found a neighbor to marry. As Monroe later entered the entertainment industry, the four-year marriage ended.
Monroe entered the entertainment industry because her first husband joined the army. In order to subsidize her family, she accidentally became popular when she was a female worker in a nearby arsenal.
only relying on beauty is obviously not enough to make Monroe a symbol of the era. The film also highlights the fact that Monroe loves to read. For example, she mentioned writers such as Dostoevsky and Chekhov .
is just a part of it, leaving the audience with the image of a submissive hollow vase.
In addition to the fictional plot, the large-scale boat dramas of the film are actually unnecessary, and they do not have much effect on the promotion of the plot. They can only be said to be to meet the director's personal aesthetic needs.
Therefore, Monroe in the film is like a tool man under the director's camera, but is just to show off the broken theme of women, cold and powerless.
In fact, not only the heroine, but also the other supporting characters are fragments of dreamy clips, a few lines, as thin as paper, and pure tool man.
It is undeniable that the director has put in full swing and smooth camera switching.
Like Monroe Threesomes, the bed sheets switch to the waterfall in the movie;
The bright starry sky turns into sperm, suggesting the beautiful romance and ephemeral of this relationship.
videos are not that useless, at least in terms of shooting and staring, they should be the most outstanding part of the whole film.
The shooting technique of placing the camera in a drawer shows the suffocation scene of getting along with his mother in childhood from the perspective of Noma. When the movie premiered, every audience with a smile on their faces was as stunned as the puppets, muttering to themselves in their hearts - a horror movie stare like a puppet.
If you are not familiar with Marilyn Monroe, you have at least seen that photo of the white skirt flying in the subway vent.
is actually a promotional photo of " Seven Years Itch " directed by Billy Wilder .
But what many people don’t know is that when the shooting was taken, there were 100 male photographers and 2,000-5,000 viewers around Monroe.
The police needed to come forward to maintain order on the scene, and this classic shot was repeatedly shot 14 times.
Into Monroe's perspective, large-scale horror scenes
and when Monroe walked the red carpet, these men watching were slowed down by the director's camera, exaggerated and deformed, appearing horrible and obscene
- Isn't this Monroe's personal experience in the past?
Of course, Monroe outside the film did not portray the director so much as looking for a father.
In the later stage, she did too many commendable things in her entire acting career.
For example, at the age of 27, she published an article in a magazine called "Wolf I Know" and bluntly talked about the phenomenon of sexual harassment in Hollywood and reminded girls to be careful of these "wolfs".
In the era of equal work and different pay for , she not only put pressure on film and television companies, but also established her own production company -Marylyn Monroe Production Company in 1955.
She has a low education, but she has been studying hard, reading, and thinking.
However, the director only created a showcase barbie doll under his own lens with his thin image.
can only make people feel sorry.
Because of such a heroine, it is no different from Hitchcock mentioning the blonde settings in her movie:
"Blonde beauties are the most suitable for murder. When red blood flows out from their snow-white skin, how beautiful it is!"
