Marilyn Monroe - 100 years old

Norma Jean was born on June 1, 1926. She had a difficult childhood. Her guardians and the people around her changed. She worked at a military factory. And thanks to a random photographer, she became a model. 

All about Eve (1950)

Despite the fact that the actress had roles before that. This is where she became most visible in her career. We are still faced with the topical issue of acting, the crisis and, consequently, the change of generation. Monroe has been here for 15-20 minutes. But according to the main actress, it was enough to outshine everyone. Especially considering that many films are symbolic of Monroe herself. And it was thanks to this role that her blonde image fit into history. 

The movie itself is beautiful. Especially the theme. Well, Davis is great here.

Niagara (1953)

The first movie where the actress became a star. The vivid film is in fact a modest melodrama that throws up some action in places. Monroe plays the femme fatale perfectly here. There were also quite a few hints of eroticism and her first step was right here.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)

I discovered the film for myself quite recently. This is a story about a typical beautiful lady who receives an offer on a ship. He is rich and in love with the heroine. The heroine is being watched by a detective who will check our star for loyalty. The heroine's friend is looking for money, but our Monroe is not. 

The movie, despite the name, is a parody of such personalities. Irony, humor, music. There is also a cult scene here.

Top 3 roles of an actress. Not only an image, but also a self-parody of her lifestyle. She's not stupid. She's loving and doesn't like not being seen that way. The very phrase that she will be smart when she needs it is the improvisation of an actress who has become a cult. I immediately remember an interview where they wanted to catch her for talking about her favorite books. The movie is beautiful.

Smart in life too. 

The Itch of the Seventh Year (1955)

You can immediately recall the iconic movie scene and the dress. 

Monroe has a huge statue dedicated to this moment (and more than one)

The film is again a melodrama, but specifically about marital problems. The first problems with Monroe on the set. Breaking up with her husband because of this scene. The movie is light and I won't say that it's remarkable, but the scenes solve a lot.

The Prince and the Dancer (1957)

The only foreign film in her career. The director and actor of the film is the iconic Laurence Olivier. Again, the image of a blonde beauty, again a lot of problems on the set. Later, by the way, Olivier was scolded for the role and the film, while Monroe, on the contrary, was called the best. Her image is similar to that of a Gentleman, she is smart and understands everything. The mockery of the pompous prince in the film has migrated to reality.

A moderately simple comedic melodrama where, as indicated, Monroe is the best of all.

Only girls in jazz (1959)

Some people prefer it hotter. This is the original name of the painting. It's also a remake of an older movie. And it was also here that many residents of the USSR and other countries of the world found out who Monroe was (and so did I.)

A comedy about 2 witnesses to a murder in a gang fight who are forced to run away and pretend to be women, as well as comedy, awkward situations and melodrama. Yes, this is a database of favorite comedies and movies in history. Monroe was very scandalized because of the image of a typical blonde, she almost died because of pills. She suffered humiliation and insults. Yes, it's all behind the legend. But the most important thing is that the actress has achieved the tower. It is here that she is not only charming the most, but also gives the best game.

The tower was so high that it received the 2nd award after the Oscar. But they weren't nominated for an Oscar, but in vain.

That iconic scene from the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

The Misfits (1961)

When I said tower, it wasn't the last time. The film The Misfits is a serious movie about not the nicest people. Monroe here plays a conscience and a woman who is against the bad deeds of the characters who kill cattle. The painting became her last role (and not only hers) before her death.

This is where you can evaluate her most serious role and appreciate her deep talent.

Monroe was supposed to have another movie, but they didn't finish it, you can only watch half an hour of this tape. Judging by the footage, it's also something lighter and more erotic.

Well, what movies should I watch about Monroe?

7 Days and Nights with Marilyn (2011)

Unfortunately, I can recommend watching only 2 films about Monroe.

1 movie about love for Monroe. The main characters are supposedly us, and a popular movie star falls in love with us with all his looks and beauty. Michelle Williams doesn't look much like the heroine, but she tries her best as an actor, and despite the questionable actions of the hero, the film more than makes the story clear, but it's hard to call it desirable to watch because of the questionable moments..

The Blonde (2022)

Incredibly controversial, but God, the most iconic work about Monroe.

It doesn't matter that the movie is based on the book. The movie shows the heroine's path more than cruelly. A tough childhood is straight horror, the views of men that openly discuss it. Dating, naivety, fatal decisions. The film shows controversial moments (again) and sometimes shocking ones. But the finale will bring a tear. The movie is stylish, and Ana's acting deserves more than an Oscar nomination. Despite the controversy, it is still a tower even after the revision.

This is the heroine's path and story in the movie. I didn't go into much into her personal relationship and didn't appreciate all of her work. But I appreciated the important thing that, like Monroe, will not become obsolete even after 100 years.

Legend.
