Research Paper

The topic of my research paper is a movie called Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe. In this paper I am going to argue that this movie is a stepping stone in expressing feminism and sex appeal which resulted in the changed the foundation of the film industry. This topic impacts American culture because today we witness a lot of movies with sex appeal.The 1950s began an era of a different kind of entertainment that forgot about women's inferiority and instead featured women's sex appeal to drive the men. Marilyn Monroe was a huge influence for feminism because without her sex appeal the movie industry would be completely different. I believe that this movie is different compared to other movies out there because this movie and other Marilyn Monroe movies are the foundation of a new form of entertainment. This type of entertainment influenced other films to become more daring and show the feminism of women throughout the decades. This movie is extremely unique because it's a comedy that keeps the audience wanting more. The specific cultural issues that I will explain in my paper will be the importance of women in American society and how they are equally important compared to men. All because Marilyn Monroe did use sex appeal in her life and movies that does not mean that every women should acted to like Marilyn. Marilyn set the foundation for women today. She allowed women to dream and hope for things that were not possible during the 1950s. This is relevant to my research because the film industry has a huge impact on American culture. Since the film industry starred Marilyn Monroe in multiple movies, it allowed women to believe they can do anything that they put their minds to.
