SkyRo P "The Misfits," a classic film from 1961, stands out as a remarkable piece of cinema, showcasing exceptional performances from its stars. While watching, I couldn't help but wish I had lived during that era to experience this incredible work of art along with many other exceptional films of the time. Marilyn Monroe delivers a stunning performance, showcasing her unique voice and charm. Her character evolves from a divorced woman to a nurturing, independent individual, which adds a delightful twist to the story. I was familiar with Clark Gable as an older actor, but seeing him in this youthful role was a revelation. He embodies the cowboy persona with such authenticity, demonstrating his remarkable acting talent. The chemistry among the cast is palpable, with each member enhancing the overall experience. I particularly enjoyed Thelma Ritter's portrayal of Isabel, who brings humor and vibrancy to the film. I highly recommend watching this film. It's a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in cinematic treasures from the past and appreciate the artistry that makes films so captivating. "The Misfits" is truly a cinematic gem worth experiencing. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Damian Such a shame that Marilyn Monroe didn't even got a nomination for Oscars for her portrayal of Roslyn Tabor. Love this film. One of my favorites for sure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review TheAsteri1 Gable's acting talent was of the highest, and he very much did deserve an Oscar . Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Alec B A fascinating movie that bridges old and new Hollywood. It also functions, both as accident and design, as meta commentary. We definitely missed out on more cranky old man performances from Gable and, obviously, more serious work from Monroe. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review nick s The movie does seem to flounder a bit. A vacuous blond is wooed by a couple of leery cowboys and you start to wonder if it's going anywhere. But the ending is strong so it's worth hanging in there. Wonderful performances. And the blond has a deeper impact than you'd expect. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/23 Full Review Joe R Meta upon meta. The screenplay was written by Arthur Miller who had been married to Marlyn Monroe, and divorced from her before writing the screenplay. This film is about the failure to connect with others due to among other things self deception and the resulting regrets of what has been missed in life. The acting is phenomenal, these great actors have put their hearts and souls into this film. When watching it you need to realize that what may look like a simplified emotional utterance is has really a symbolic meaning. I am not giving you BS, I not Faulkner and have trouble giving you in words the significance of what's happening in this film. This film is a masterpiece.
