My Week with Marilyn (3/12) Movie CLIP - Table Read (2011) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Marilyn (Michelle Williams) struggles with her lines as Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) tries to keep the table read moving along.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on the famously missing chapter in Colin Clark's memoir The Prince, the Showgirl and Me, My Week With Marilyn reveals the enchanted week that the then-lowly production assistant spent with the most famous celebrity of the era during the production of the classic 1957 comedy romance The Prince and the Showgirl. The year was 1956. Colin Clark was an ambitious 23-year-old determined to make a name for himself in film. As summer gets underway, Clark manages to land a position as a production assistant on the film The Prince and the Showgirl, starring Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) and Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh). Monroe had just gotten married to playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott), and the newlyweds were on their honeymoon as production got underway. Later, when Miller leaves, young Clark seizes the opportunity to befriend the platinum blonde beauty, and give her a taste of everyday life in England -- far away from the bright lights of Hollywood and the suffocating pressures of fame.

I liked the way Michelle Williams portrayed Marilyn. No overacting, but her tenderness, naivety and innocence is expressed in a subtle way. Many people saying Michelle is not as pretty as Marilyn, but no one can be as beautiful as Marilyn anyways and I don't like actor trying too hard. Overall, beautiful movie. I loved it.

I'm SURE she's aware everyone thinks she's not pretty enough to play Marilyn Monroe.. it was brave of her to still portray this role and as an actress she was freaking marvelous!

[landonle]

this is a great example of British actors vs american acting styles. Marilyn was a method actor, an acting system that was still technically new. So her acting coach, Stasberg's wife is showing her how to "find" the character which is really trying to go into internally to become the character. The british in contrast rely on classical acting which includes script analysis, which is external acting, becoming the character from directly the script and having the mannerism of the character. they didn't really rely on "finding" the character. I'm not saying method acting is better, but this scene really shows how different american method acting had become different from the british and was revolutionary at the time, as the other British actors are clearly shock that marilyn has an acting coach and a different way of acting.

It's crazy to imagine Judi Dench was around the same time Marilyn was alive.

Wow Kenneth Branaugh is so good as Olivier!

[sputzelein]

Its more Doris Day but NEVER Marilyn. That doesn`t work at all.
