![My Week with Marilyn [DVD]](https://images.bolo.ae/I/81KM2ebxDRL._SL1500_.jpg)
Description:
During Marilyn Monroe’s (Oscar® Nominee Michelle Williams) first trip to London to film “The Prince and the Showgirl,” with Sir Laurence Olivier (Oscar® Nominee Kenneth Branagh), she befriends Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), an ambitious 23 year-old production assistant on the set. As their relationship progresses Colin’s focus shifts from making his way in the film business to rescuing her from the pressures of celebrity life. When Monroe’s new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, makes a brief trip to Paris, Clark takes the opportunity to introduce her to the world outside of Hollywood fame. Based on the true story by Colin Clark, this memoir describes a magical week in which Monroe opens herself up to a stranger and finds in him a confidant and an ally.

Anyone doubting the layered, nuanced, and heartbreaking acting abilities of Michelle Williams will find My Week with Marilyn a tremendous revelation. And Williams fans will enjoy it even more. In My Week with Marilyn Williams takes on the formidable challenge of playing Marilyn Monroe, and does so with depth and assuredness, and without resorting to caricature. Williams's Marilyn commands the screen with pain and delicacy, and doesn't let go until the final credits. My Week with Marilyn focuses on a small time frame in Monroe's life, right after her marriage to Arthur Miller. Monroe, already "the world's most famous woman," still feels the need for validation as an actress. What better way to achieve that, she believes, than committing to costarring with Laurence Olivier in The Prince and the Showgirl, a film she firmly believed would finally cement her reputation as a serious actress. My Week with Marilyn is based on the short memoir of Colin Clark, a crew member on The Prince and the Showgirl, who quickly became the confidant of the wildly insecure Monroe and watched a train wreck of egos--mostly Olivier's and Monroe's--collide in a fiery near-disaster. Kenneth Branagh gives an uncharacteristically restrained performance as the exasperated Olivier, resentful of the "new blood" in Hollywood that the young Monroe represents, and disdainful of her cult-like devotion to Method acting. (And of Monroe's chronic tardiness, which threatens to undermine the veddy, veddy strict British work schedule.) Eddie Redmayne plays Clark with a sweet, gentle veneer, someone who grows to care genuinely about the complex Monroe. Julia Ormond is clipped and proper as Olivier's then-wife, Vivien Leigh, and Emma Watson shows a lovely gravitas as Lucy, Monroe's acting coach. But it's Williams who gives the revelatory performance, capturing with painful intensity the insecurity that begins to seep out of Monroe like a fearful sweat. "Excuse my horrible face," she blurts out, while looking nothing less than her usual radiant self. Where does this tragic insecurity come from? My Week with Marilyn doesn't attempt to answer the unanswerable, but instead shines a light on the very real woman who became lost in the giant shadow of legend. --A.T. Hurley

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Versions of Reality Not Really Made For the Audience

This film they're making is a complex creation held together with business deals and sheer will-power by all of the clashing personalities (and those who understand all that and try to help.)Michelle Williams is a creditable Marilyn (although she has blue eyes and the real Marilyn was a 5' 2" Doll made huge through the magic of the cameras.) The exposure to the internal machinery of the entertainment industry might make you respect films more, that they manage to accomplish anything, but you can also clearly see they all had problems to overcome, just like everyone else. Marilyn's character may be more visible to you, the explanation for her tragic life. A period-piece (1956) when some were cruel and demanding because they could be and it was allowed, even encouraged. Think about that when someone says "The Good Old Days!"
5.0 out of 5 stars "All People Ever See Is Marilyn Monroe ... As Soon As They Don't See Her, They Run" - Marilyn
While observing this solely on the movie's merit, not if it may or may not be 'factual', as it is based on the personal diaries of Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), I definitely enjoyed this story. A glimpse into one week of the iconic status of Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) is a provocative notion. I found Williams able to display the subtleties of her charge and make this demand convincing. Williams fleshes out Monroe in a solemnization. She neither fully inhabits nor imitates her as much as she celebrates the Marilyn Monroe everyone could appreciate. I found her quite deft in balancing Monroe's obvious intelligence along with her shaky naivety at the same time. Of course, Williams could never replicate Marilyn Monroe in a performance as the physicality of the two is widely different among other things, although I saw her bring the nuances and idiosyncrasies of Monroe's personality to life. Her stage presence, sexuality, innocence, and vulnerability are all well shown.Into London of 1955 comes the filming of the anticipated movie "The Prince and the Showgirl". A young, and obviously obsessed with the film business, Colin Clark, is able to get involved with the production, but more so with the object of his desire, Marilyn Monroe. He offers her a certain freedom with his friendship during an intense time of fragility for her. He provides laughter, hushed conversations, free-spirited romps, and the ability to escape everything which includes her own harsh reality. The film, presented in this way, shows the almost over-importance of Clark in the making of Laurence Olivier's movie concerning his handling of Marilyn Monroe alone. But, of course, this is all done from his point of view, his ideas and beliefs.While the acting is all quite good, a complete stand out for me was Kenneth Branagh as Sir Laurence Olivier. He pulled perfection into his portrayal of the ego driven icon that he was himself. His mannerisms, temperament, perfectionism, and vocal all screamed "Olivier". The renowned stage actor coming into the making of this movie was a huge transition, especially while wanting to cast the Hollywood "movie star", Marilyn Monroe, alongside himself.An understated Vivien Leigh - 'Lady Olivier' - (Julia Ormond), shows an ease in her position of his wife and a more vulnerable side with her adoration of her husband. The wonderfully astute Dame Sybil Thorndike (Judi Dench) lends a firm hand and a necessary leading guidance for Monroe especially when sparks start to fly. In "The Prince and the Showgirl" she was the softest and caring anchor for Monroe's shaky resolve and awestruck times during the filming. This all happening as Olivier's control was escaping him. She remained soothing and tried to keep the balance between these two iconic' actors, but, more so, these two egos."My Week With Marilyn" is just that, according to Colin Clark. His week along with her, done from his diaries and adapted from his book. With taking this all into mind, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and have watched it several times.
5.0 out of 5 stars Movie is magic due to Michelle Williams
When the making and casting of MY WEEK WITH MARILYN was announced there was much debate over the casting of Michelle Williams as Marilyn. Marilyn Monroe who if you really study her film work was a very good actress is instead remembered moreso for the amazing aura about her. She represented sexuality, sensuality, innocence, vulnerabilty all at the same time with an incomparable beauty and presence never seen since. So people with this film were basing the casting on who looked more like Marilyn. Luckily that is not how the producers of the film proceeded for it is the inner essence of Marilyn that made her who she was and a great actress is needed for that. And today in film there is no greater actress than Michelle Williams.They did a very good job in making her look like Marilyn but Williams went so much deeper and made her performance in no way a mere caricature. She tapped into the pure soul and spirit of what was Marilyn. The film takes place over a brief period when Marilyn was filming THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL. This was a film when she was on husband # 3, Arthur Miller and sadly she didn't have much longer to live. The film in and of itself is a pretty simple story. The acting is very good all around but it plays as a slice of life piece except for the performance of Michelle Williams. When she made her first appearance in the film I was comparing her to Marilyn but as the film went on I totally stopped and when the film was over it stayed on my mind for days. I am a huge fan of both Marilyn and Michelle. I knew the full back story of Marilyn at the time of the film and I found the performance of Williams haunted me long after viewing the film.I really felt as if I had spent time with Marilyn Monroe. Williams totally tapped into the insecurity, vulnerabilty, innocence and aura that was Marilyn. She became her. Repeat viewings of this film also help to see the greatness of her performance for Marilyn is such a strong presence that it may be understandably difficult to belive anyone portraying her. There has never been a portrayal of Marilyn that captured her true purity and powerful presence as with Michelle Williams. I cannot recommend this film enough. Marilyn and Michelle got their deserved praise by this film. View it and you will be enraptured by the essence of a legend.

Bis ins Detail klasse
Von " Niagara " bis " Manche mögen`s heiß " zu " Misfits- nicht gesellschaftsfähig " ------ich sah sie alle und gerne. Marilyn war schon einzigartig in ihrem Schaffen.Für ihre Todesursache gibt es mehrere Mutmaßungen, die am weitesten verbreitete Verschwörungstheoriezu ihrem Tod besagt, Präsident John F. Kennedy habe sie durch die CIA ermor.den lassen, da seine Affäremit ihr eine Gefahr für sein Amt gewesen sei. Die These, die Kennedys hätten M. Monroes Tod zu verantworten,wurde erstmals 1986 in einer BBC- Doku aufgestellt, doch für diese Theorie gibt es jedoch keinerlei dokumentierte,gesichtete Belege und tatsächlich sind einige Beweisstücke verlorengegangen.Wie dem auch sei- arme und schöne Marilyn. Oder war es doch die Ma.fia?Und nun zu meinem Filmerlebnis: Es fängt schon bei der Top- Besetzung dieser edlen Perle an- Michelle Williams,die Marilyn Monroe hier phantastisch verkörpert, Eddie Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Watson, Judi Dench,Julia Ormond und so viel mehr gute Darsteller.1956, auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere, ging Marilyn nach England, um einen Film mit Sir Laurence Olivier zu drehen.Dort traf sie einen jungen Mann namens Colin Clark, der ein Tagebuch über die Arbeit an diesem Film schrieb. Dies.......ist ihre wahre Geschichte." Darf ich hier warten, bis Sie einen Job haben? " - " Tja, es gibt keine.....Jobs. " - " Ich komm` morgen früh wieder,......nur für den Fall. " - " Das ist ein freies Land......".Colin ist zielstrebig, würde alles tun, um bei einem Film mitarbeiten zu können. Und er hat Glück, er lernt Marilyn Monroekennen und schätzen................." Entschuldigung,.......ich seh` furchtbar aus. "MY WEEK WITH MARILYN: Brillant, süß, zartfühlend, ergreifend, sehr interessant und mitreißend gespielt. Und auf jeden Fallein Muß für Menschen, die bisher nicht viel mehr wussten, als dass die berühmte, schöne Monroe auch eine gute Schauspielerin war." Hören Sie, Larry, akzeptieren Sie Marilyn so wie sie ist, dann geht`s Ihnen auch gut. Versuchen Sie, sie zu ändern, dann........treibt sie Sie in den Wahnsinn. Vertrauen Sie mir................".- " Herrgott, worauf hab` ich mich da eingelassen.........".*********************************************************************************************************Story:Es ist der Sommer 1956, in dem der dreiundzwanzigjährige Colin Clarkeine Anstellung als Assistent am Set des Films " Der Prinz und die Tänzerin " bekommt.Die Hauptrollen besetzt mit Marilyn Monroe, der Hollywood- Göttin und Sir Laurence Olivier.Fernab vom Star- Rummel verbringen Marilyn und Colin viele gemeinsame Stunden, in denenMarilyn regelrecht aufzublühen scheint.............................************************************************************************************************************Mein sichtlich erfreutes Fazit:Eine, noch eine Verfilmung über die Monroe? Das wird ja wieder was werden. Und es wurde etwas.Michelle als Marilyn überzeugt und wurde zu Recht für den Oscar nominiert. Verblüffend doch, wieviel Ähnlichkeitsie doch mit der echten Ikone aufweist, wenn die Kameraeinstellungen nicht zu nahe sind oder Michelle imSeitenprofil erfasst. Finde ich optimal gelungen.Dieses Biopic hat es geschafft, glaubwürdig zu erscheinen, indem er Marilyn Monroe zeigt, die zwischendurchauch normal und glücklich sein konnte, aber eine tiefe Unsicherheit und Zerbrechlichkeit verbirgt." Sie hat mich abgelegt, nachdem sie mich hatte. Sie bricht Herzen und sie wird auch Ihres brechen. Mein Rat:Lassen Sie die Finger von ihr, bevor Sie sich verbrennen. " - " Ich brauche Ihren Rat nicht. "Mit viel Lebendigkeit und Gefühl, dramaturgisch ausgezeichnet, von der Auswahl der Schauplätze her echt.......und schauspielerisch glanzvoll- das ist MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. Auch wenn Michelle Williams die Monroe spielt,sollte man nicht erwarten, dass sie die Monroe IST. Eine großartige Schauspielerin ist sie, die ohne Marilyn zu kopieren,deren unschuldige Se.xualität, ihr Sehnen nach Liebe aufscheinen lässt." Allen kleinen Mädchen sollte man sagen, wie hübsch sie sind. Ja,....sie sollten wissen, wie sehr ihre Mütter sie lieben.......".Marilyn Monroe, geboren am 5.8.1926. Gestor.ben am 5.8. 1962- durch Tab.etten oder durch andere Dinge, die man nicht weiß.Geboren als Norma Jeane Mortensson, änderte sie dann ihren Namen irgendwann." Sind Sie denn auch jemand? " - " Nein, ich bin niemand. "Lauflänge: 94.50 Minuten ( mit Abspann ) !Extras ( deutsche Untertitel ) :- Audiokommentar von Regisseur Simon Curtis!- The Untold Story of an American Icon= 18.20 Minuten!- Making of= 11.10 Minuten!- Deutscher Trailer, Originaltrailer!Dank Michelle wird Marilyn wieder lebendig." Ist das Abraham Lincoln? " - " Das ist mein Dad. Na ja,.....ich weiß nicht, wer mein richtiger Vater ist.........da könnte er es doch sein. Findest du nicht? "" Du bist wie eine griechische Göttin für mich. " - " Ich bin keine Göttin. Ich will nur wie ein ganz normales Mädchen geliebt werden. "
Excellent film à voir ou à revoir
Excellent film à voir ou à revoir sur une mythique icône servi par un casting exceptionnel.
Well worth watching
I thoroughly recomend watching this movie it is a little gem, the acting is superb Michelle Williams is almost like a reincarnation of Marilyn and Eddie Redmayne is excellent as Colin Clark.I have to admit that I am not a great fan of Kenneth Branagh he is not in my opinion up there with the quintessential classical british film actors such as Olivier and Redgrave I usually prefer him in lighter comedy roles.However I think he is perfectly cast in this movie playing Laurence Olivier particularly with the makeup he is a very good Olivier visually if not quite in his acting skills, excellent direction as always by Simon Curtis.All in all a very worth while purchase and the Blu-ray transfer is perfect as it should be for a modern film can't fault it.

Description:
During Marilyn Monroe’s (Oscar® Nominee Michelle Williams) first trip to London to film “The Prince and the Showgirl,” with Sir Laurence Olivier (Oscar® Nominee Kenneth Branagh), she befriends Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), an ambitious 23 year-old production assistant on the set. As their relationship progresses Colin’s focus shifts from making his way in the film business to rescuing her from the pressures of celebrity life. When Monroe’s new husband, playwright Arthur Miller, makes a brief trip to Paris, Clark takes the opportunity to introduce her to the world outside of Hollywood fame. Based on the true story by Colin Clark, this memoir describes a magical week in which Monroe opens herself up to a stranger and finds in him a confidant and an ally.

Anyone doubting the layered, nuanced, and heartbreaking acting abilities of Michelle Williams will find My Week with Marilyn a tremendous revelation. And Williams fans will enjoy it even more. In My Week with Marilyn Williams takes on the formidable challenge of playing Marilyn Monroe, and does so with depth and assuredness, and without resorting to caricature. Williams's Marilyn commands the screen with pain and delicacy, and doesn't let go until the final credits. My Week with Marilyn focuses on a small time frame in Monroe's life, right after her marriage to Arthur Miller. Monroe, already "the world's most famous woman," still feels the need for validation as an actress. What better way to achieve that, she believes, than committing to costarring with Laurence Olivier in The Prince and the Showgirl, a film she firmly believed would finally cement her reputation as a serious actress. My Week with Marilyn is based on the short memoir of Colin Clark, a crew member on The Prince and the Showgirl, who quickly became the confidant of the wildly insecure Monroe and watched a train wreck of egos--mostly Olivier's and Monroe's--collide in a fiery near-disaster. Kenneth Branagh gives an uncharacteristically restrained performance as the exasperated Olivier, resentful of the "new blood" in Hollywood that the young Monroe represents, and disdainful of her cult-like devotion to Method acting. (And of Monroe's chronic tardiness, which threatens to undermine the veddy, veddy strict British work schedule.) Eddie Redmayne plays Clark with a sweet, gentle veneer, someone who grows to care genuinely about the complex Monroe. Julia Ormond is clipped and proper as Olivier's then-wife, Vivien Leigh, and Emma Watson shows a lovely gravitas as Lucy, Monroe's acting coach. But it's Williams who gives the revelatory performance, capturing with painful intensity the insecurity that begins to seep out of Monroe like a fearful sweat. "Excuse my horrible face," she blurts out, while looking nothing less than her usual radiant self. Where does this tragic insecurity come from? My Week with Marilyn doesn't attempt to answer the unanswerable, but instead shines a light on the very real woman who became lost in the giant shadow of legend. --A.T. Hurley

This film they're making is a complex creation held together with business deals and sheer will-power by all of the clashing personalities (and those who understand all that and try to help.)Michelle Williams is a creditable Marilyn (although she has blue eyes and the real Marilyn was a 5' 2" Doll made huge through the magic of the cameras.) The exposure to the internal machinery of the entertainment industry might make you respect films more, that they manage to accomplish anything, but you can also clearly see they all had problems to overcome, just like everyone else. Marilyn's character may be more visible to you, the explanation for her tragic life. A period-piece (1956) when some were cruel and demanding because they could be and it was allowed, even encouraged. Think about that when someone says "The Good Old Days!"
5.0 out of 5 stars "All People Ever See Is Marilyn Monroe ... As Soon As They Don't See Her, They Run" - Marilyn
While observing this solely on the movie's merit, not if it may or may not be 'factual', as it is based on the personal diaries of Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), I definitely enjoyed this story.

Of course, Williams could never replicate Marilyn Monroe in a performance as the physicality of the two is widely different among other things, although I saw her bring the nuances and idiosyncrasies of Monroe's personality to life. Her stage presence, sexuality, innocence, and vulnerability are all well shown.Into London of 1955 comes the filming of the anticipated movie "The Prince and the Showgirl". A young, and obviously obsessed with the film business, Colin Clark, is able to get involved with the production, but more so with the object of his desire, Marilyn Monroe. He offers her a certain freedom with his friendship during an intense time of fragility for her. He provides laughter, hushed conversations, free-spirited romps, and the ability to escape everything which includes her own harsh reality. The film, presented in this way, shows the almost over-importance of Clark in the making of Laurence Olivier's movie concerning his handling of Marilyn Monroe alone. But, of course, this is all done from his point of view, his ideas and beliefs.While the acting is all quite good, a complete stand out for me was Kenneth Branagh as Sir Laurence Olivier.

She remained soothing and tried to keep the balance between these two iconic' actors, but, more so, these two egos."My Week With Marilyn" is just that, according to Colin Clark. His week along with her, done from his diaries and adapted from his book. With taking this all into mind, I thoroughly enjoyed the film and have watched it several times.
5.0 out of 5 stars Movie is magic due to Michelle Williams
When the making and casting of MY WEEK WITH MARILYN was announced there was much debate over the casting of Michelle Williams as Marilyn. Marilyn Monroe who if you really study her film work was a very good actress is instead remembered moreso for the amazing aura about her. She represented sexuality, sensuality, innocence, vulnerabilty all at the same time with an incomparable beauty and presence never seen since. So people with this film were basing the casting on who looked more like Marilyn. Luckily that is not how the producers of the film proceeded for it is the inner essence of Marilyn that made her who she was and a great actress is needed for that. And today in film there is no greater actress than Michelle Williams.They did a very good job in making her look like Marilyn but Williams went so much deeper and made her performance in no way a mere caricature. She tapped into the pure soul and spirit of what was Marilyn. The film takes place over a brief period when Marilyn was filming THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL. This was a film when she was on husband # 3, Arthur Miller and sadly she didn't have much longer to live. The film in and of itself is a pretty simple story. The acting is very good all around but it plays as a slice of life piece except for the performance of Michelle Williams. When she made her first appearance in the film I was comparing her to Marilyn but as the film went on I totally stopped and when the film was over it stayed on my mind for days. I am a huge fan of both Marilyn and Michelle. I knew the full back story of Marilyn at the time of the film and I found the performance of Williams haunted me long after viewing the film.I really felt as if I had spent time with Marilyn Monroe. Williams totally tapped into the insecurity, vulnerabilty, innocence and aura that was Marilyn. She became her. Repeat viewings of this film also help to see the greatness of her performance for Marilyn is such a strong presence that it may be understandably difficult to belive anyone portraying her. There has never been a portrayal of Marilyn that captured her true purity and powerful presence as with Michelle Williams. I cannot recommend this film enough. Marilyn and Michelle got their deserved praise by this film. View it and you will be enraptured by the essence of a legend.

Sie hat mich abgelegt, nachdem sie mich hatte. Sie bricht Herzen und sie wird auch Ihres brechen. Mein Rat:Lassen Sie die Finger von ihr, bevor Sie sich verbrennen. " - " Ich brauche Ihren Rat nicht. "Mit viel Lebendigkeit und Gefühl, dramaturgisch ausgezeichnet, von der Auswahl der Schauplätze her echt.......und schauspielerisch glanzvoll- das ist MY WEEK WITH MARILYN. Auch wenn Michelle Williams die Monroe spielt,sollte man nicht erwarten, dass sie die Monroe IST. Eine großartige Schauspielerin ist sie, die ohne Marilyn zu kopieren,deren unschuldige Se.xualität, ihr Sehnen nach Liebe aufscheinen lässt." Allen kleinen Mädchen sollte man sagen, wie hübsch sie sind. Ja,....sie sollten wissen, wie sehr ihre Mütter sie lieben.......".Marilyn Monroe, geboren am 5.8.1926. Gestor.ben am 5.8. 1962- durch Tab.etten oder durch andere Dinge, die man nicht weiß.Geboren als Norma Jeane Mortensson, änderte sie dann ihren Namen irgendwann." Sind Sie denn auch jemand? " - " Nein, ich bin niemand.

Ist das Abraham Lincoln? " - " Das ist mein Dad. Na ja,.....ich weiß nicht, wer mein richtiger Vater ist.........da könnte er es doch sein. Findest du nicht? "" Du bist wie eine griechische Göttin für mich. " - " Ich bin keine Göttin. Ich will nur wie ein ganz normales Mädchen geliebt werden. "
Excellent film à voir ou à revoir
Excellent film à voir ou à revoir sur une mythique icône servi par un casting exceptionnel.
Well worth watching
I thoroughly recomend watching this movie it is a little gem, the acting is superb Michelle Williams is almost like a reincarnation of Marilyn and Eddie Redmayne is excellent as Colin Clark.I have to admit that I am not a great fan of Kenneth Branagh he is not in my opinion up there with the quintessential classical british film actors such as Olivier and Redgrave I usually prefer him in lighter comedy roles.However I think he is perfectly cast in this movie playing Laurence Olivier particularly with the makeup he is a very good Olivier visually if not quite in his acting skills, excellent direction as always by Simon Curtis.All in all a very worth while purchase and the Blu-ray transfer is perfect as it should be for a modern film can't fault it.
