Army guard should have let him in
Tale
The story of American photographer Lee Miller, a model who became a respected war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II. The production was given full access to Lee Miller’s archive with the Miller family’s full cooperation and trust. ..Miller is denied entry to Hitler’s apartment because it is “for officials only.” War correspondents were given the rank of captain, so the U.S. Lee Miller: [Hands the knife to the girl he just saved from rape] Cut it next time.
Aired on The 7PM Project: October 21, 2024 episode (2024)
The end credits are a “what happened” commentary; and some of Lee’s original photographs, often along with those recreated for the film. It is a 1977 partial biography of photojournalist Lee Miller (Kate Winslet), with flashbacks to the years 1938–1945. The film tells the story of a young man (Josh O’Connor) who interviews Miller in 1977. Successive flashbacks into Miller’s life begin in 1938 and follow.
His friends include Jean (Patrick Mille) and Solange d’Ayen
Miller is a former American model who has discovered photography as an art form and is hanging out with the art scene in France, where she has been living for some time. She meets Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgard), a Quaker artist and poet in the UK. She is also part of his artistic community and they begin a relationship. Miller moves to London, where he gets a job at British Vogue, edited by Audrey Withers (Andrea Riseborough).
We learn more about his motivations by the end of the film
After the start of World War II, Miller finds his way to the front as Vogue’s war photo editor. “Lee” details some of his dramatic experiences, which resulted in unforgettable photographs of the battles, the capture of Berlin and the death camp, often with Life magazine photographer David Scherman (Andy Samberg). Miller’s personality is stubborn and sometimes impulsive throughout, surviving by chain-smoking and drinking alcohol. “Lee” is too one-dimensional, though Kate Winslet’s strong performance reflects a complex and troubled personality.
Too many characters with little development leave Winslet alone
The lack of context also gets in the way, as only vague hints are made about her past (she was married to an unnamed man throughout the war) and we learn nothing about her life after the war (she married Roland). So “Leen” has its limitations, which come from the way a number of screenwriters adapted the 1985 biopic.
