Michelle isn't Marilyn, but that was good for me
Yes, Michelle Williams is posing like her, maybe you can say she is doing this posing very well. But do one thing. Watch a movie with Marylin, for example "Some like it hot" and a documentary about her, with some of set shoots, and with that fresh pictures of Marilyn in your head, watch this movie. You will see, that Michelle Williams is not Marilyn Monroe. And Michelle is so far away from being Marilyn as it is possible. It makes it hard to watch the entire movie, because you see in every single scene: THIS IS NOT MARILYN !!
But in that difference I learned much about Marilyn and why she was, who she was. She had a way to act with the camera and to behave in front of the camera, I know today, I have never seen in that way before. I begin to see it, because Michelle cannot redo this, not even in small parts. I understand the myth about her know a lot more better.
So the movie did something good for me, but I am sure, the makers didn't want it that way. Oh and of course, that makes the Oscar Nominee crap.
