Marilyn

Had read 'My Week with Marilyn' last week, followed by the movie last evening.  A beautiful story.  It seems it is a fantasy of Colin Clake instead of a real story to me.  But... does it matter?

No actress could replicate Marilyn Monroe in this era.  Not a single one.  But again.... why should they?

Sorry, I didn't mean Michelle Williams didn't bring Marilyn alive in the screen, instead,  this is the opposite.  Her performance was perfect.  I mean we can't expect to have the second Marilyn Monroe in our time.  She belonged to her era, she shaped and was shaped by the world at that time, which had just experienced two World Wars, a world without internet, globalisation in a much more slow way....
