Movie Reviews of The Misfits
Movie Review: Hooked on This Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie many years ago when I was in high school. I came into the movie about 20 minutes from its beginning, and that was a mistake. To understand and appreciate The Misfits, you must see it from the beginning with as few diversions as possible while watching. In my teenage years, I wasn't prepared to see a movie such as this, a movie to make me think as this has now done.
So if you are looking for a movie to entertain you, something really light, this may not be for you. On the other hand, if you want something of depth/intensity/masterful performances (something to lead your mind off in many directions)--this may be a good movie choice.
The actors and actresses gave incredible performances. With all the intensity of the themes running through the movie, Thelma Ritter adds a light and humorous touch to what would otherwise have been a very dark production. At the end of the movie, you may come to the same conclusion as I--we are all in some way misfits.
I highly recommend it...
Movie Review: A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY SERIOUS MARILYN FAN.
Summary: 5 Stars
This Movie isn't for everybody...shot in black and white, it's a moody and stark Account of a group of Misfits,an aging cowboy,a rodeo rider,a mechanic and a confused divorcee.Marilyn Monroe is making the most of the material, as written for her by then estranged husband Arthur Miller. Some of her Lines are uncanny, as if taken straight out of marilyn's own Life. Some of them not very flattering.
The performances by Clark Gable (in his last Role),Monty Clift and Eli Wallach are superb.
I like the Scenes in the desert where Rosalyn (a brilliant Marilyn) starts to get deviant against the others....
I know Marilyn did not particularely care for this Movie...too many memories of a bad marriage, a script she didn't care for and intolerable conditions while shooting the movie in the Nevada desert. And it wasn't a blockbuster.
But this Movie is probobly one of my favorites of marilyns...
Movie Review: One of Clift's best
Summary: 5 Stars
Montgomery Clift undoubtedly steals the scene in this movie as a young, burnt out cowboy who's character is something along the lines of little boy meets old soul with ADD. His performance, in which you can truly see a reflection of his allegedly troubled mental state at the time, is one of the most sincere, real depictions I have EVER seen in all of cinematographic history. Critics have tended to focus on Monroe more, because it was one of her more serious roles, and Gable, because it was his last film as well as Monroe's, but there is no doubt in my mind that Clift is the star of the Misfits. I don't know how, but he captures the loneliness of someone who doesn't quite fit it, but isn't a totally marginal outsider. He does an absolutely wonderful job oscillating between the quasi-bipolar character of Perce.Movie Review: Hollywood's last Hurrah!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. And I never say I love a movie or movie star or song, etc. you get the picture. The cast in this picture is gone forever. How the director ever got these stars together for one picture still amazes me. And it's not a great story, but, in a way it mirrors the actors real lives at that particular point in time. This cast, the likes of which you'll never see again, is what makes this movie unique. I don't know if future generations of movie goers will ever appreciate the specialness of these actors, I always wondered if Clark and Marilyn could feel that this was the last movie they would ever make? You'll never see the likes to them again. Enjoy!Movie Review: JUDY GARLAND HATED IT
Summary: 5 Stars
... she felt that Miller exposed his wife unmercifully... I can hardly disagree with her. After reading numerous biogrophies about Marilyn; she really seems 2 be playing a variation of herself.The film is a masterpiece; all the actors give ace performances - it i s a KEY film for the lonelyhearts... The film makes u feel that U ARE NOT ALONE in having depressing feelings and the script put it in words several times what might be difficult for a person 2 express. Nevertheless; Judy was right! Marilyn shines and performs with NO safety net whatsoever...
