Here’s what’s fact and what’s fiction in 'Blonde'

Written and directed by Andrew Dominik, based on the 2000 Pulitzer Prize-shortlisted novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, the film stars Ana de Armas as Marilyn and uses Monroe’s life as an inspiration to delve into the mystery and fantasy that surroundstakes inspiration from real events, figures, and long-held rumors from the actor’s life as a jumping point to imagine what Monroe may have thought and felt, the film is by no means a biopic.

In the film, Marilyn, or Norma Jeane, as she was known in her childhood, is growing up in Los Angeles. Her earliest memories are of her mother telling her about her absentee father, while showing her a picture of Clark Gable.

Blonde. L to R: Xavier Samuel as Cass Chaplin, Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe and Evan Williams as Eddy G. Robinson Jr..takes with Marilyn’s life is the throuple relationship she embarks on with Charlie “Cass” Chaplin Jr. and Edward “Eddy” G. Robinson Jr. Their threesome, which they dub “the Geminis” becomes the scandalous talk of the town, with Marilyn’s talent agent urging her to end it to try and curb bad press.

who was on set photographing the scene, DiMaggio stormed off the New York City set in a fury after watching the crowd go wild for Marilyn’s skirt billowing up above the subway grate. A violent fight was reported at their hotel that night andBlonde. L to R: Adrien Brody as The Playwright & Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe., one of the happiest and most idyllic periods of Marilyn’s life is during her romance and eventual marriage to “The Playwright,” a character based on Arthur Miller.

This period in her life in the film is fairly accurate to Monroe’s actual time married to Miller. The pair met on the set ofin 1951, while Monroe was casually dating Miller’s friend, Elia Kazan. They corresponded via letter for a few years, then reconnected after Monroe moved to New York in 1955 to attend the Actors Studio, beginning an affair that led to Miller establishing residency in Nevada so he could divorce his first wife and marry Monroe.

It’s so bad it doesn’t matter really.

At the end of the movie one feels very sad for the protagonist, irrespective of what portion of it is not true :(

I quite liked this movie. It certainly provided a different view into Marilyn Monroe.

Congratulations to ALL the Creatives who took a paycheck to make MarilynMonroe 's Legacy look like a dumpsterfire 🎉 Curious, was this GreenLighted by HarveyWeinstein before his topple? What a load of misogynistic 💩

It’s soooo depressing I actually found the Jeffrey Dharmer series more uplifting 😳😳😳

Netflix carries a lot of garbage movies. They come from the weak woke crowd. Always pushing their own agenda.

Blonde is the worst movie I have ever seen on Netflix

This movie will have you changing the channel within 30 minutes or less. Worst movie on the sad Hollywood story that is ' Maryiln Monroe' Hollywood casting couch and Abuse of power are very much on display.

This movie was terrible. If someone manages to make it to the end of this 3-hour train wreck they may need a pysch eval. The movie is based on a novel not a biography so don't go into it believing everything you see because most of it probably never happened.

It is based on a novel. Stop seeing it as a biopic. It's an imaginary psychological biography.

I prefer the Jeffrey Dahmer biopic (well, the first six or so episodes anyways).

One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.

This has nothing to do with BOOB WILLYS SANGAY

Not a tru3 story at all. Would not recommend ever. Can’t believe it took over ten years to produce the movie. Better keep your day job. 1 to 10, would rate maybe a 3.🥺
