Seung Kwan (Daniel) MinFilm StudiesDr. VenellSome Like It HotThe first impression of the title, Some Like It Hot, directed by Billy Wilder, led me to consider it as erotic pornography. However, this classic film is more than 50 years old and the sexy symbol of the era, Marilyn Monroe, stars in the film as one of the main characters. The movie Some Like It Hot was made in 1959, long before I was born; so I expected it to be pretty old fashioned, looking at it in the 21st century. However, it whet my appetite with its black and white effect and its tight and unpredictable storyline. As for me, coming from a different culture, I recognized and heard about Marilyn Monroe, but I did not have the concrete opportunity to watch a film in which she starred. I was incredibly fascinated to hear and watch the voice and voice of the prominent film star, Marilyn Monroe. appearance throughout the film. In the movie Some Like It Hot, I understood why Marilyn Monroe was the main idol of the time; she had a naive and pure voice with chastity to boot. Moreover, I could not believe that at the age of 37, Marilyn Monroe could boast of her immense appeal to the public. Although this film was made over 50 years ago, the strength of its long-term success comes from the black and white effect, the unusual approach to sexual disguise and the liberation from tradition or rules of a 1950s comedy film. The film Some Like It Hot used the black and white effect method. While watching the film, I thought that maybe there could be another reason why director Billy Wilder used the black and white effect. It turns out that there was dissent over the use of the black and white effect, but director Wilder completely ignored this opinion....... middle of paper ...... his film classic comedy during the making of the film, Some Like It Hot. First, the plot begins with a violent murder committed by the gang on Valentine's Day. Usually, it is difficult and unusual to move from a violent scene to a comical vision. However, this film was constructed well in moving from a violent murder scene to a comical disguise of two men. Furthermore, I understood that only half of the script had been written at the start of filming. Additionally, the film itself is two hours long, which can get tedious for a comedy film. Despite all these aspects, the film was truly a commercial and long-term success. This makes it clear that violating the path of the classic comedy film is the secret recipe for lasting triumph. Perhaps this is why the AFI selected the film Some Like It Hot as one of the most important comedy films..
