「This movie must be made based on the idea and understanding of Kate Winslet.」リー・ミラー 彼女の瞳が映す世界 詠み人知らずさんの映画レビュー(感想・評価)
This movie must be made based on the idea and understanding of Kate Winslet.
This is the story of Lee Miller as a war photographer, as captured by Kate Winslet, who must have been busy making the film. It was made in the form of a conversation between the young interviewer and Lee, but from her particularly cold tone, we find out who the interviewer is halfway through.
She used a medium-sized Rolleiflex, which we have come to call a twin-lens reflex. On the other hand, David Sherman, a photographer, and editor at Life magazine, used a small camera that seems to be a Leica. However, there is never any mention of developing the photos. How on earth did they develop them on the battlefield?
After entering Normandy, France, she worked as a war photographer, but the problem is the passage of time. They traveled alone in a jeep that seems to have been loaned from the US military in Paris, but when they entered Germany, a couple who committed suicide with potassium cyanide is found, reminiscent of Goebbels and his wife. However, later, on April 30th, 1945, the day Hitler died in Berlin, she entered Hitler's former headquarters in Munich and took photos. Goebbels and his wife died the day after Hitler's suicide. Furthermore, she visited the concentration camps, Buchenwald and Dachau consequently, but the US military entered the former camp on April 11th, and Lee visited the latter concentration camp, known for its railroad siding, just before Munich. I wonder if the film was made based on these historical facts to some extent.
What did Lee Miller herself really want to do? She would like to express something particular by herself. She started taking photographs with Man Ray during her time in Paris (1930s), and she was also the subject of a photo shoot at Hitler's house. In wartime London, she managed to get into Vogue magazine as a photographer, where she had once been a famous model, and then made a fuss when the photos she brought in were not published.
Even though it was wartime, she showed no consideration for the subjects she photographed. The limited rights of women were mentioned many times in this film, but if she was an artist, it is not difficult to imagine how much the rights of her subjects must have tormented her in the latter half of her life.
I wish they had been a little more conscious of the historical facts surrounding the war when making the film. What a shame.
