    The entry point is very coincidental. Unlike Dong Ye who wants to talk about Hoover’s love and life, and Aunt Mei who wants to play the iron maiden’s majesty and loneliness, the film only tells about Monroe’s short time when she made a film in the UK. The audience felt as if they were the freckled boy, and was lucky to have a sweet relationship with Monroe, cherishing her suffering as a big star and her frankness as a little woman. The color soundtrack is excellent, and Xiaomi's performance is directed at Oscars.
