Some Like It Hot Screener Report
Some Like It Hot is a hilarious movie about two men, Joe and Jerry, dressing up like women just so they can join an all girls band. Joining the all girls band came out of sheer desperation when they become witnesses of a mob shooting, not to mention, they are also going broke. The entire film is basically Joe and Jerry, or shall I say, Josephine and Daphne, running around with the all girls band in Florida and getting into all kinds of crazy, but funny antics.
One of the things that make this film hilarious is how Joe and Jerry look as females. The make­up is extreme and it definitely does not hide the fact that they are men. Then in contrast, they are with beautiful, sexy, young women, like Sugar, played by Marilyn Monroe. I love how
Sugar gets all cuddly and close with Joe and Jerry and they often have to hold themselves back, because they are “females”. For example, when she goes into Daphne’s bunk to thank him, she snuggles up with him, completely vulnerable to what she is doing to him. Daphne on the other hand is holding himself back and cracks a joke by telling her that there will be a “surprise” later.
Meanwhile, Josephine tries to remind Daphne that he is a girl and to try and calm down. I liked how Josephine was the one who seemed very level­headed early in the movie. He often had to restrain Daphne from doing anything crazy. But once he got sucked in by Sugar’s charm, he’s the one who seemed to go overboard. Josephine ended up dressing like this rich sailor, whose family owns the Shell company, just to impress Sugar. He even had the glasses that Sugar said she loved. The scene at the beach where he trips Sugar to get her attention was another hilarious scene for me. He speaks in this strange accent and continually talks about his yacht and how rich he was, just so Sugar will like him. With every word Josephine says, he is digging an even deeper hole for himself.
Aside from Josephine, Daphne also gets sucked in by love, but this time,

    There are many topics out there that seem to appeal to the ears of the music industry. A popular approach is to objectify women by comparing them to animals or anything that is worth less of them. This approach is extremely popular, since it is adding to the long, long list of ways society is still oppressing women in the 21st century. While you are at it, you can focus on singing about either a woman’s chest or butt or maybe including both will land you a higher spot in the music charts. As your song becomes a top hit, sooner or later, you’ll hear a 14 year old boy singing about women’s body parts, and parents will praise the music industry for exposing young children to content that sexualizes the female body.…
