Marilyn Movie Popular
Each year there are usually a few motion pictures that are released that detail of the life of a famous movie star who otherwise met a tragic end. The latest such film is called “My Week with Marilyn” and stars Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe and Kenneth Branagh as Laurence Olivier. So far there have been some positive reviews of the film although much of the admiration for the film so far ahead of its release has been of the remarkable visual transformation of Michelle Williams into Marilyn Monroe as the actress must’ve had a very good makeup artist and costume designer.
The film is not a long one and runs less than a hundred minutes even with the credits and is meant to be something like a snapshot in the life of Marilyn Monroe during some filming she was involved in. The film is meant to describe the brief friendship between Marilyn and one of the people that was helping to make her film and is meant to showcase her attitude and persona through the eyes of someone who only met her for a short while.
Films starring Michelle Williams have been popular on Ch131 and also films starring Marilyn Monroe have been popular as well so this likely means that when this movie finally comes to DVD and streaming that it will be a popular rental for people who enjoy the performances of both the actresses. So far reviews of Williams’ performance have been very positive and there has been a lot of buzz regarding a potential nomination for a number of movie awards.
