What do you think of the film blonde? It's based on the book.
I'm personally horrified! A rape scene! Menstrual scene!! So explicit and exploitative!!
I don't see Marilyn as a victim, although her strength fighting her sufferings is what I really admire about her.
But her talent and intellect, her radiant being!! Her beautiful poetic words.... she stood out from the rest... there is no one like her...
I just wish people did see her more as a sex symbol, in a lot of her scenes it did require a great degree of talent and comedic timing, not as asy as it looks! (I really recommend the Jessica chastain narrated documentary - it shows a lot of Marilyn's strength of character)
(You probably know all this but I feel like I need to get it out of my chest to someone who appreciates her, because by God most of this world sure doesn't)
The film blonde won't taint her legacy !!
I havenāt watched it as itās the book itself is a work of fiction. And fans that have watched and commented on it, fans who I find very reliable and knowledgeable, have not been impressed at all.
Iām not sure if that makes me less of a fan for not watching lol, but I canāt stand these awful documentaries, books, movies and whatever else that is purely BS.
I did just do a quick search and saw the author of the book has openly said it is all fiction. I have a feeling that wasnāt mentioned in this film but maybe Iām wrong.
So much focus on the struggles in her life. Yes, she had many. But Iād love more focus on the good times she had. Her strengths. Her kind heart and generosity. Her huge love for children. How she was truly a hard-working woman who constantly wanted to improve her craft (Iād love for there to be much more emphasis on how she didnāt sleep with tons of men to become famous and get acting gigs; she spent tons of time and money in classes; she wanted to be great actress and get roles knowing it was because of her talent).
Marilyn is probably the best example of the public only wanting the ājuicy stuffā regarding a celebrity - even if the juicy stuff is disproved. So much fictional garbage out there about her and itās sad that so many believe it. So irritating.
I donāt mind your rant. I apologize for mine though š
