Margot Benacerraf - Araya (1954)
From the Creek to Monroe Street
I saw this film last week even if my boyfriend did describe it as a chick flick, which by the way it is not, and was blown away by Michelle Williams interpretation of Monroe. I know, I know, no one can ever be Marilyn Monroe but Marilyn Monroe, but if you remember Williams from the Creek and decide to check out this film you too will go "wow."Again only my opinion. The film doesn't entirely focus on Monroe and instead follows Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne is so easy on the eyes) and his two weeks filming and befriending her in England. Although his two weeks were quite interesting through his eyes I really do wish they focused more on Monroe and tried to demystify so I can view Monroe as a person full of dimensions and not just this Hollywood starlet that rocked the nation.

My favorite is the love birds print. The colors looked faded but bright at the same time. The blue tinge gives off a weird feeling of nostalgia to me.
