Being beautiful sometimes can be such a curse. Marilyn Monroe was cursed. Insecure, unhappy and forever longing. Dying young, beautiful but sad. It's second time in this week I am seeing a damsel and her distress on the screen.
Michelle Williams is so good as Marilyn, I came out of the hall just remembering her. Brilliant performance in a mediocre script. If Oscars could honour The King's Speech which to me was an average affair, Boy, They can't ignore the queen of celluloid either. This is an oscar-worthy performance. To act like Marilyn should not be difficult. We all know she was pretty bad actress. But bad acting is always difficult for good actresses. But portraying a bad actress and her bad acting must be most difficult of all. That's were Michelle Williams wins. She was so good as Miss Monroe acting bad. Moreover she brought to life all the insecurities and the quest for love of Miss Monroe. That's a true Damsel for you.
Then there is a Knight. Sir Lawrence Olivier. The shining armour is missing. Kenneth Branagh tries hard. But like in the script just fizzle out.
Let's not talk about the damned. My heart still feels for the young boy who lived his dream for a week. Colin Clark and his wet dream years. Eddie Redmayne brought that certain raw novelty to the character.
Overall it was a fair sunday evening watching this film which had it's moments and all those moments belonged to Miss Williams.
I keep thinking it takes a damn good actress to portray a bad actress.
