My Week with Marilyn

My Week with Marilyn in a true story based on a diary kept by the lead actor and slight interest of Marilyn, Colin Clark. A rich kid that wanted to get out on his own and work in the film business. He got his break on the movie The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier. It details his time on the set and the interactions he had with her. Colin quickly became sought after by Marilyn as some one she could trust and depend on, as she thought all the people in the movie was against her.

I'll admit it, some times a movie like this peaks my interest in trailers enough to make me want to see it. It's been out a while now, 2011, so it took a while to get around to. It kept my interest the whole way. The little I know of Marilyn Monroe, because of my age, the actress Michelle Williams, seamed to hit it just right. I saw lots of facial expressions that I do know I've seen the real Marilyn make in movies and clips I've seen.

I enjoyed the story. I liked the movie as well. The acting was pretty good I think when comparing it to a lot of movies I have seen lately. There were a few actors I recognized from smaller rolls but I didn't see any BIG stars in it other than Emma Watson and Judi Dench (James Bond).

After writing this I looked up Michelle Williams past movies and seems like she's had a pretty nice career.
