Ms Monroe

I just finished watching "My Week with Marilyn" The film takes place in 1956 when she was married to the famous Arthur Miller. She was casted to act in a movie in London. Where she meets Clark Colins, the 3rd director assistant on set.

This movie is written from his perspective and the intimate moments and slight affair he had with Ms. Marilyn.

 I couldn't help but feel nauseated the entire movie. Her beauty and stardom really amounted to nothing for her. She was quite insecure, sad, and deep down i think was quite empty.


 She had married 3 times by the age of 30.





For some reason I couldn't help but feel bad for Clark Colins how helplessly he fell for her beauty and kindness, but of course in the end fell broken hearted.

I would recommend this movie. It of course is just that, a movie, "based" on a true story of Clark Colins time with Marilyn. So you must take it for what it is. But I felt that it portrayed her character fairly precisely. It showed in the movie her insecurities, her loneliness, and of course her drug issues.

It makes me dumbfounded that a woman like this is STILL so iconic in today's society.

Multiple affairs and drug addiction...

Despite her beauty and the way she light up a stage or screen, I can't help but feel sad for her.

I love Marilyn Monroe as much as the next girl, but sometimes a person isn't what they seem. Her natural talent, her go lucky attitude. And of course many of her famous quotes are still recognized today.

"“A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.”

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” 




How divine it would have been to live during the 50's. Everything about this film, the outfits, the music, the language, Marilyn. .. . its all so beautiful.

Have any of you seen it? What did you think? Thoughts on Marilyn Monroe?
