Marilyn Monroe has been gone for over sixty years, and yet people are still talking about her. What, exactly, is the spell she casts on so many? Stunning, exciting to watch, incredibly famous, Monroe lived a very public life and died young, with a sad suddenness. All of this is true, and yet there is so much more to her story. On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide looks past the sensation to the real legacy—her richly varied body of work. Both during her life and following her death, Monroe was dismissed as more of a phenomenon than an actor, often an object of ridicule instead of a performer whose work could be taken seriously. The truth that lay behind the dazzling surface was that she was one of the hardest working of actors. Rigorously applying both skillful technique and an inherent charisma, she was able to create truly unforgettable performances. In this lively guide, Richard Barrios looks beyond the ballyhoo and legend at Monroe's best-known films, and some that remain obscure. It also addresses the work she did on television and the stage, as well as her underrated abilities as a vocalist. Both an informative study and a perceptive critical assessment, On Marilyn Monroe: An Opinionated Guide gives this brilliant performer the attention she desired—that of an artist whose work deserves both examination and celebration.Show book

DJANGO UNCHAINED THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Django Unchained is a 2012 Western film directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in the pre-Civil War South, it follows Django, a freed slave, who teams up with Dr. King Schultz, a German bounty hunter, to track down the notorious Brittle brothers. As they work together, Django seeks to rescue his wife, Broomhilda, from the brutal plantation owner, Calvin Candie. The film explores themes of slavery, revenge, and justice, with Tarantino’s signature blend of dark humor, stylized violence, and sharp dialogue. It offers a revisionist take on the Western genre, blending historical commentary with cinematic spectacle. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “During the filming of a dinner scene, Leonardo DiCaprio had to stop because he found it difficult to use so many racial slurs. Samuel L. Jackson pulled him aside and told him, "Motherfucker, this is just another Tuesday for us." “Jamie Foxx used his own horse, Cheetah, in the movie, a horse he received as a birthday gift four years prior. “Leonardo DiCaprio was uncomfortable playing such a racist character. However, Tarantino convinced him to portray the character in an even more menacing manner, assuring him that if he didn't take it to the extreme, people would hold it against him forever. “According to critic Alex Ross, the alliance between Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) is not as unrealistic as it may seem. In the 1840s, many German revolutionaries and progressives left Europe for the U.S., where they often became involved in the anti-slavery movement.Show book
