Marilyn Monroe is an iconic American actress that appeared in Hollywood cinema before few decades. The most notorious appearance of Marilyn Monroe was the white flying dress that continues to be a present image to this day and is considered a symbol in Hollywood and American cinema. Where admiration and obsession still exist in the mind of the American female when it comes to the pop culture icon.

The film shows the complex life nature of celebrities, art, fashion, and cinema, which we are ignorant about and unaware of, as our relationship with them is limited solely to the entertainment and enjoyment moment.

Consequently, we know nothing about their pain, struggle as well as humanitarian, social, and financial sacrifices that are behind the scenes. What celebrities endure and negatively experience in reality are never seen except in historical films and documentaries similar to what has been seen in this film and the prior film “Elvis”.

The business agent is apparently a dangerous personality and influential in the lives of celebrities from athletes, to actors, and singers, and in all fields related to entertainment in one way or another.

His legal and financial rights are the main engine for moving stars to render them working for his interest and satisfaction and not as the opposite.

The film also reveals a lot of the invisibility and secrets of American life and its relationship to public culture, economy, and media in a country whose economy relied on the intellectual property rights of the authors, singers, arts productions, photographs, and movies.

Marilyn Monroe was one of the major factors that led to significant development, amendment, and enhancement in so many legal and financial standards in American film production. Artists, stars, and celebrities, have an invisible and confidential long relationship with politicians, security, and intelligence that usually only be revealed and known after the star’s death.

While on the other hand, Marilyn Monroe had a visible and publicly and widely known relationship with an ex-American president which makes the debate over her death a controversial argument up to this day.

The widely known relationship raises suspicion about the cause of her death if it was a natural cause due to excessive drinking and drug consumption or if it was due to the security and intelligence act similar to Prince Diana’s death.

In conclusion, Marilyn Monroe was a charming symbol of the American cinema, and her living memory, fame, along with her sudden passing are still continuing to be profound and highly recognized in legal and social debates.

These events raise awareness that the soft power of art, heritage, as well as cinema, in particular, have substantial, hazards and deep effects not only on the national and regional but to the global which will be introduced in later articles.
