watching this movie was a delight,
the actual movie was just fine,
but the watching:
the costumes, the locations, the interspersed black & white, the handsome boys
& of course, michelle williams,
all wonderful too look at...
in fact, i don't even really remember what the plot was
(maybe there wasn't one?)
what i do remember is that i couldn't take my eyes off of michelle williams,
the way she played marilyn monroe was so intriguing
it was really hard to figure out if she is just an incredible actress
(well, yes, she is)
or if marilyn monroe was just that fascinating
or if michelle was incredibly playing a fascinating person...
i'm pretty sure it's the third
& it was a pleasure to watch...
when she was on the screen you just couldn't take your eyes off of her,
whether it was admiring her gorgeous clothes (& figure) or
trying to figure out if she was ditzy, smart, naive or manipulative,
or watching her just be...
i've seen great performances in okay movies before
but this was on a whole different level
& i would watch it again for sure, just to try to figure her out...

a wonderful bonus was to watch emma watson in a sweet non-hermione role
she was great & i'm excited to see what she does next...
i do feel like i should add that there was a plot,
the movie's point of view is from the third assistant to the director, collin
& he's adorable,
but it seems that it would be hard to compete with marilyn,
in real life & on the screen.
so i don't blame him too much that it just
didn't stick in my head as much as that cute blond girl :)

a word about michelle williams:
every role i have ever seen her in i have been so impressed...
Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine, Shutter Island
all engrossing, all stand out performances
i haven't seen her in 'dawson's creek' but i imagine she was great there, too :)
it seems that she might be her generation's meryl streep (she already has 2 oscar nominations (& probably 3 coming up) & she's only 31...
plus, she has adorable red carpet style & such cute hair!
i love her & can't wait to see what she does next...
next up: moneyball, with that one blond guy :)
happy watching!
love view,
emily :)
