"We're all dying aren't we. We're not teaching each other what we really know, are we? "

I just watched The Misfits, which is a Marilyn film with Clark Gable that I'd not yet seen. She? Is the cutest, most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. I was full-on giggling and flailing my ass off of cute. Like when she had her little pigtails in. And then, you guys, she had this fucking ringlet all the time and you could see the shadow of it on her chest and it killed me. I loved the use of shadow in this film. And I wanted to cry when she offered to buy the horses. I feel like this film has a huge symbolism to it that I can't quite place or work out yet. It reminded me a lot a lot of the Sex and the City quote about how maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. And there were a lot of beautiful quotes that reminded me of Marilyn herself, something about, "You've got such a trust in your eyes - it's like you were just born." And they talked about how her (character's) gift for life completely brightens up the room, while everyone around them just hides and waits for life to pass by. I don't know, it was really gorgeous in a way. I don't really know how to explain my thoughts on this. Or on her in general.

This was the last film she completed. Him too. It just overwhelms the shit out of me.
