Do you think 'Blonde' is a good movie?

[Fita]

Have you watched it? Is it really unwatchable and super demoralizing/objectifying back Marilyn Monroe's image?

I have watched it back when it was released and since then I feel unconfortable watching it...

It was boring, not interesting, nor kept your attention

[trip to my touch]

was cinematographically, artisticly, lightwise and actingwise surpreme. not really kind to the legacy of MM on the other hand

It makes me worry what the industry will do with Britney’s story when she’s long passed away. Marilyn has been gone for over 60 years and this film isn’t even factually true. Shes not here to defend herself and she doesn’t even have family to speak out against this fictional film. She didn’t have the best of lives but this film felt cruel. 
 

I will say I’ve been a big Marilyn fan my whole life and Ana and Michelle resembles her essence well enough (although Ana’s accent came in and out at times). Some other actresses who have played her in the past were sooo not the look.

The actress was good. Storyline not so much. Even though we know it’s not all based on a true story I feel like it depicted Marilyn as if she was some kind of prosititute who slept with everybody to get her way.

Marilyn used her se*xuality in a way to have power and control. Not the other way around as a victim. 
 

There was so much more to her. I’d wish we could see more about her mental well being instead of her body. She was a smart lady, that’s for sure.

I liked it. Cuz i cried my eyes out like 3 times or so.

I'm not sure, it was disturbing and I couldn't take the drama i felt suffocated, I fast forward a lot to finish it

No, it was disrespectful and gross, and I really don't like how they marketed the movie as a biopic on Marilyn when it's literally based on a fictionalised book about her.

agree - they portrayed as a helpless mindless human being... she was a smart talented woman who had the IT factor. 

Go to IMDB and check her quotes out - nothing like that was seen in this disgusting movie.

 

Exhalers, if you are looking for a good Marilyn biopic, you should check The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe

The movie left me depressed for about two days. It gave me a really bad aftertaste. That being said, Ana de Armas did an incredible job portraying such a complex character, and the cinematography was beautiful. Fortunately, it’s based on a novel, because I’d like to believe that Marilyn’s life, though clearly full of struggles and pain, was a bit happier than that.
