Have any of you seen the Marilyn Monroe movie?

I have a small poster of her in my room, but I never knew her story. I only knew that she was famous because of acting and of course her beauty. I had a past lover in my life who really broke my heart, but I remember him pointing out the poster before our split. He said do you even know anything about her? or he said something negative about her I can't remember. Anyway, I noticed the movie was free on YouTube last night so I watched it and it freaked me out.. because I felt as if she was relatable to so many women. She is talking to a psychiatrist in the movie about this feeling she has of being miserable and lonely. She tries to numb the pain from the past with prescription medications and alcohol. Her psychiatrist expresses to her that she stayed in her previous relationship after her miscarriage (instead of divorcing him sooner) because she rather deal with his violence than the isolation. I started crying and realized how I felt this too. I have roommates but they're never home. I have no friends out here. & I bet the guy I was telling you guys about left me because I was too vulnerable expressing to him that I needed him to be a man for me because I lost my father. I need him to be everything in one because I had no one and no one deserves that kind of pressure. I drink alone, not often, but alone. & I know people on here can relate to me but late at night when I'm by myself the quiet scares me.

If she was taken more seriously, most like would have still been here with us today. Maybe in her 90s? But wow you are knowledgeable and taught me more about her than the movie. Thank you. This poster now means something. fauxartist
