my week with Marilyn

During the film 'my week with Marilyn' I felt I couldn't engage with her character as I couldn't tell what was real. The whole story was based on a diary from Colin Clark therefore making it very biased and maybe even slightly to his imagination. when the diary was released I also think the publishers would have had to exaggerate the entire thing for viewer purposes. because of this I felt like there was more to marylin than this film portrays. however during the film I could understand that the marylin in the film had a massive struggle with the idea of love. I have read that she had a very hard upbringing which may have changed her outlook on love. because of this it meant that she only saw love as a sexual company instead of what most children are taught from a young age this being of the romantic fairy tale side of love. after discovering all of this it meant I could really engage with the pain that Marilyn seemed to always carry as it was all I really knew could've been very real.
