Marilyn Monroe has: too much written about her--too much sex about her. There was too much breath in her voice and there were too many drugs in her body. Too much vulnerability, too much trouble, too much exposure. She read too many books, she had too many abortions, she put too much bleach on her hair, she had too much interest in acting, too much willingness to undress, too much talent, too much tardiness, too much anxiety, too much foster home, too much JFK-- -- --and these days there is too much paraphernalia associated with her. Her clothes were much too tight; her house was much too messy; her life ended much too soon. Too white, too childlike, too stupid, too manipulative, too sincere. Too awkward too undulating too intelligent too pathetic too diligent too lonely too lazy too funny--too, too much.
(Lisa Cohen, The Horizontal Walk: Marilyn Monroe, CinemaScope, and Sexuality)
于是我们看到,好莱坞的拜金女们,最终都接受了穷小子。当然,作为弥补,总会让姐妹团之一收获一个货真价实的金龟婿。而当代中国都市情感电影中,美女倒真都嫁了土豪。其实与其赋予女性虚假的爱情选择权 ,倒不如正大光明地说Diamonds are a girl's best friend。与其爱爱我美貌的假假的你,不如爱钻石。
除此之外,这部电影还引发了关于Queer形象的讨论。多萝西在健身房一段,充满力量的男性身体与女主角的互动不算热烈,肉色的短裤显得十分性感。[img=1:C][/img]
同时,多萝西和萝莉莱的装扮却总是十分登对,尤其是婚礼上的最后一个镜头,镜头给到两人,推近,两人亲密的眼神,仿佛是在告诉大家她们真正的soulmate其实是彼此。[img=2:C][/img]

再比如《热情如火》的片尾,当女扮男装的杰瑞终于受不了,疲倦地摘下假发套对『未婚夫』说出我是个男人时,『未婚夫』淡然一笑说,Nobody is perfect。[img=5:C][/img]
