I like this movie, but this scene always makes me so sad. It makes me think of Marilyn’s two husbands who basically married her for the same reason. It’s funny Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio couldn’t be more different men, but they were both men. I’m sure Marilyn thought by marrying a famous playwright, a philosopher, a brain who wrote some pretty intelligent, complex women characters, she’d finally got a man who appreciated her mind. But he was just like the rest. He just wanted the image, the trophy, for the famous Marilyn Monroe to be his wife. I doubt he knew who she really was

Poor Marylin. She got one hell of a raw deal from the world, and all her beauty didn't save her.

Idk how women kept their cool in an era rife with blatent misogyny and insults thrown at them everywhere they went.

I’ve seen so many photos of her reading. I bet she was an interesting person to know.

I love this movie. Even though there are many things which would be criticized in these days, I like the way to elaborate the female characters. They have their own story and reason for their action.

I am SO happy this clip is viral with young women. Because she’s absolutely right - a man WANTS HIS DAUGHTER to have THE BEST husband, finances included. So why can’t this woman want that?
