Well on friday will be the premire of MWWM at the New York Film Festival, already I’ve heard people have seen the film. Early reviews are saying Michele Williams has earned herself a third oscar nomination and is completly Marilyn Monroe, also Kenneth Branagh get’s good word for his potrayl of Laurence Olivier and is set for another oscar nomination.
ReplyI’ll definitely go to see this in theatres.
Still, something about Michelle Williams is beginning to bug me greatly. Perhaps it’s her film choices. Or maybe it’s because she doesnt remind me of Monroe at all, but of Williams. That could change as I watch her performance. But she’s beginning to annoy me, just to get that off my chest. Right now, I’m rooting for Branagh and Simon Curtis, the latter whom produced my favorite screen version of Elizabeth R, alongside Tom Hardy.

I’m looking forward to seeing this. I’m not familiar with the director, but I think the idea is interesting (to focus on this film in Monroe’s career wouldn’t be the obvious choice), and there’s a lot of interest in seeing how Williams does in the role. With the older Academy, I do think she’d have an advantage if deemed believable.
ReplyCopy URLMarilyn is very advanced, and many actresses and singers have tried to capture marilyn’s essence and failed miserabl. Many who’ve read on her life or know of her life know there was more to Marilyn Monroe than her looks, she was also troubled, intelligent, vulnerable, creative, etc. Not to mention she’s a big icon to many people world wide, a lot of people have an image of who/what marilyn monroe is/was and if you screw up royally might as well sign up for dancing with the stars
ReplyCopy URLI love Marilyn but come one, shes not much of an advanced character to portray. Any actress can portray her in a film, and will get praised since she has always been a simple person more known for her looks.
These measurements are terribly flawed, but still, Marilyn’s standard intelligence tests placed her in the top 1-2% of those tested. That much brain activity with all those neurons firing, doesnt strike me as a recipe for simple-mindedness.
Plus, look at her films, her life, and her career. A completely fascinating, dynamic woman imo.
Let’s see if Williams can pull it off.

I think Williams looks wonderful in the trailer. But what the hell happened to Emma Watson? Pause at 1:43 and you’ll see she looks 20 years older. Yikes. That hair/makeup looks terrible on her.
But other than that, it looks great.
