What did YOU think of "Blonde?" Let us know below, and be sure to also check out our video of How Marilyn Monroe Has Been Portrayed Throughout the Years: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qt-dgaqHncqcfmw.html

It was pretty irresponsible of the film makers NOT to start the film with a disclaimer about this basically being a fan fiction about her life.

A 3-hour film of rape, torture, abuse, drugs, abortion & fiction! Thank you Netflix for respecting Marilyn's Legacy!

I was SHOCKED to hear that the movie label was only paying Marilyn a salary of $500 a week vs Jane's $100k per movie. So messed up!

The actress was amazing...the way Marilyn was portrayed..not so much. I was intrigued the first 20-30 minutes and after that I was like "what is this?" This is proof no more Marilyn movies need to be made. To add; they made her look dumb, easy and extremely damaged, like she was insane. Seemed like an movie just to exploit rumors of who she was when she's was alive more than an actual movie about her and her life..just a mess. Unnecessarily Vulgar. just disrespectful.

I think this movie was wrongly classified as a drama. It's a fantastic arthouse psychological horror.

American media seriously needs to let this woman go. She is the biggest legend of cinema for sure, she's one of a kind, she's an icon, she is arguably the most well known person ever. But she's long gone now. Everything that can be told about her is told. The world needs to stop using her tragic life to make money. She is also definetely the most profitted person ever people used her when she was alive people keep using her to this day decades after. Idk if it's her out of the world beauty that makes ppl forget the fact that she's just another human being.

What Blonde showed me is how rare and hard to capture Marilyn's persona is. Ana de Armas is clearly a beautiful woman and a good actress. But she didn't quite capture Marilyn's essence. Marilyn was able to command the attention of a room while being soft spoken and very sweet. She was positive and calming while having a sadness to her. She was engaging and aloof, unconventional and conservative all at the same time. It is hard to recreate but Marilyn herself made it seem effortless.

Marilyn was pregnant during Some Like it Hot and was trying to drink less and take less pills. That no doubt contributed to how difficult she was.

I could not sit through blonde without stopping the film many times, it was incredibly tough watching it

I'm still really annoyed about the fact they portrayed Charlie Chaplin Jr as dying just before she did. When in fact he died SIX YEARS after she did! How did they get away with that?!

I dont think Marilyn was anymore difficult than a man would have been when questioning on how to do a scene or if they have a different version of doing it. It's just when a woman, especially in that era, questions it, shes difficult.

It was her calling her husbands ‘daddy’ for me

I wouldn't be surprised if they got all wrong bc this isn't a biopic it's a fantasy

The film missed so much of her sparkle and great comic wit . It made her out to be a total victim. There is no one that will ever replace Monroe. Her particular background, looks and the time she was a star, can never be duplicated. The film left her with no dignity. She was a troubled soul but she left us with such amazing films. Her work lives on and sparkles still, after many years.

This is the first time for me hearing who her father was, that’s a lot 😢 now her niece proudly proclaims it as though her grandfather wasn’t awful

As traumatic as this film was, and whether or not these specific things are accurate, I’m pretty certain she dealt w/ this kind of abuse of men all the time + disrespect & jealousy from women - im sure we didn’t see even 1/2 of the abuse she endured because she thought she had to. Like many women my age (50’s) we grew up being constantly treated this way - you didn’t need to be a movie star! But since she was I’m sure this movie doesn’t even come close to showing the amount of trauma this poor woman endured

Tony Curtis’s Autobiography states that Marilyn would need many takes for one line of dialogue but if it was a page of dialogue, she could get it in one take, to his amazement.

Blonde is based on a fictional novel so its bound to get things wrong, thank god this is making clarifications and pointing out that its not all true.

Why they make a fictional story? I would love to know the real Marilyn Monroe life story.

I feel like if Hollywood treated her right like they did to the girls like Bette Davis , Katherine Hepburn Audrey Hepburn , and others she could of truly shined

Ana de Armas wouldn't have been my first casting choice for Marilyn, but if the trailers are any indication, then she's pulled the role off exquisitely!

The movie was weird and bad but the actress was amazing image if she had a good Script she could have won big.

i got a sick feeling in my stomach with all the nudity and all the assaults and violence they decided to focus on in this movie. does doing so make it a good movie? does it pay respect to Marilyn ? not if you ask me.

Ana De Armas did an amazing job on this and I'd say she deserves an award or two. The movie itself however isn't as good as The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes. Adapting a novel that takes some drastic liberties probably wasn't the best choice. They would have been much better off doing something original and far more factual.

Despite whatever her story truly was poor Norma Jean was never given the life she deserved it’s so sad she died so young and was so lonely 😢

That ending actually made me cry with that sad revelation it was cruel. Hopefully the real Marilyn didn’t go through that. 😢

I did not like the book very much. I felt the author exaggerated a lot of things and focused to much on Marilyn's mental health issues. Surely there were times when she was both smart, happy and not feeling miserable. She was intelligent in her own way I think and had depth to her personality but the author seemed jealous of Monroes beauty and success and wanted to paint her out as only a tragic and stupid figure because of that. I dont think she was though, not only. She was mysterious and had a vulnerable air to her that made people mezmerised, still are.

The performance by Ana de Armas, phew outstanding, she has to win an Oscar here. But this biopick is just a grab bag of what others say about Monroe weaved into well established facts. If only a fraction of the nasty stuff is true it highlights how ugly Hollywood is and the casting couch was just the norm to becoming a star.

Although the movie is mainly based on fiction - it comes down to the fact that Marilyn was broken from a young age and I think her career forced her to become a person she didn’t want to be and I can only imagine how misunderstood she felt her whole life and that’s why it tragically ended the way it did. Sad movie but I think the movie does show the ‘reality’ of what went on inside her head and Ana did an amazing job.

Wtf did I just watch ?this movie is the weirdest so called biography I’ve ever see. Why do I feel like I just watched a horror movie? let that woman rest why put more of this on her name.

If you've seen Andrew Dominik's other work you'll know "Blonde" isnt so much a biopic as it is a horror film about fame. (Love the channel, just making an observation 👍)

The consistency is everything keep it up Mojo

People completely forget how difficult Marilyn’s life was just cause she is seen as a glamorous icon . The movie is dark because her life was so incredibly dark . She was used and abused by men then killed by men . This movie shows how badly she actually was treated beneath all the glamour. I think it’s important story to be told . She was so brave and deserved so much better

I'm glad u post this video and shows what the real Marilyn Monroe was really like in real life.

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” - Marilyn Monroe

Thank you ms mojo for another great video!!!!!

The actress was disturbed with the movie outcome and aftermath after filming just to point that out and she hates how sexualized the film became when promoting

i like the actress and she really sold it as marilyn but the writing was so bad and made me uncomfortable. there were so many things they could have done and they did this and i didn't like it

Another fantastic review!!! TY for your attention to details especially with historical documentation and backed up facts, w/ accounts. Keep up the important work!

A man should’ve never been able to make a movie about Marilyn. She’s been exploited by men enough.

The first “fact” is wrong because in the movie, it ends up with her finding out it wasn’t her dad sending the letters. It was “Cass”

3:14 I looked it up another one of Zanuck's possible victims was Jayne Mansfield, Mariska Hargitay's (Olivia Benson) mother.

Well done liked it, it made you think and most likely was the way she thought of her own life even with the discrepancies.

The events might not be completely accurate but it captured the essence of Norma tragic life; she was used, abused and in the end, "suicided". It also shows the truth about Marilyn basically being a split personality of Norma ie. Stemming from MK Ultra. The married president who was having sordid affairs with countless women including Marilyn, to the point of philandering while his wife gave birth to a stillborn daughter was far from a saint....yet people are pedestalizing him.

Ana did an excellent job in acting

I cried for Norma jean

This is an obvious art film and I feel it had the intention of showing how Norma Jean was manufactured by the male gaze and abused by it, but in doing so I feel they abused and exploited the memory of the real person even more. It ultimately felt indulgent self-serving and disrespectful to her. Can we finally let this woman rest in peace? I don’t know why this movie was made but I wanted to watch it before I judged it. I don’t think it’s worth a watch.

I have just watched and really enjoyed the movie mixing fact and fiction, She was the most famous actress and still the only one from her era who is still popular now ,not for the movies she made. A large portion of who know of marilyn have never watched any of her movies. But nobody really knows or knew her private life what was true or conspiracy and I like that mystery about her.

Horror Movie! Extremely humiliating! No one mentions how smart she was.

That was the golden years, the men had the power and the women suffered all kinds of abuse. Marilyn was abused as a child leading to a dark karma that followed her. RIP Marilyn 🙏 ❤️

I want more facts from her life, please

I cried when she cried ,it was too much for me ,i have to take a loads of break inbetween to calm my nerves , to be honest i fast forwarded alot because some scene was extreme but Ana did so well ,i wonder how come she did it ? My stomach was turning with every graphic scene . The abortion scene , the scenes with her mother , the scene were she was abused by her husband , all those drugs scene , she being raped ,abused ,mistreated ,it was too , too much . Good luck to whoever wishing to watch it .

Actually if you watch the whole movie, you would see that her father never contacted her & it was just Cas writing the letters the whole time.

This movie was just an interpretation of her life and a book, a combination of both. It didn’t mean to be exactly as her life was, but it still was very good. And I thought that the last 30 minutes were the best. I admit, it could be traumatizing or terrifying for someone who hasn’t been through depression or other mental illness, but I think it was very accurate. Mental illness can take you to places that someone “mentally healthy” wouldn’t understand. It felt so real all her dissociation and how she lost herself in the end. It was an average state of mind of really sick people. In my experience and many others that I heard, been truly suicidal can distort reality, and you can literally go nuts. Nothing makes sense anymore and everything you thought it was you it’s gone and will never come back. These last scenes of her going through madness can rely on many people (although everybody experience it’s different). If you were scared by this movie I understand, but this it’s many peoples reality.

The Netflix documentary the Marilyn tapes shows alot about her death and it appears it was suicide and they tried to revive her. It also seems from many tapes including Monroe herself she was in love with Bobby Kennedy and both Jack and bobby used her. It was rough.

I had to fact check this movie because some of it was utterly ridiculous. I hate movies that use peoples real names and then gets the facts completely wrong. Not everyone fact checks and then starts rumors. Norma Jean was abused during her life and is still being abused during her death. There was more to her than the abuse.

I'm sure looking forward to this movie! Hopefully it's gonna come soon in Italy💛

She didn't commit suicide!

It’s funny how the Lifetime movie was centered around her mother and the Netflix movie is centered around her father.

Might be the most depressing movie I’ve ever watched.

I would describe this movie with two words: Torture Porn. Let the poor woman rest!

Can you do Top 10 Video Game plot twists and endings of 2021

got this on my playlist. will watch this tomorrow. looks pretty good

She had terrible taste in husbands that's true. So that's all we see along with ignoring the Kennedy situation. The movie was a let down.

Ana De Armas was visually good but you can still hear her Spanish accent

Just to put things into perspective, Marilyn would be 96 years old today.

good video

Unpopular Opinion: As a fan of Marilyn Monroe, I actually enjoyed the movie. She wasn't a dumb blonde. She was beautiful, vibrant and traumatize. It showed another side of her life, no it wasn't the best aspects but it was the truth, no? It showed what she been through and why she was the way she was. It opens the door to give Monroe empathy from the audience that she didn't get when she was alive. The prettiest smile holds the darkest past. It was intriguing to get a sense of Marilyn Monroe's dark side. Even though it was fictional (They said it was fictional in the description )

I liked the movie and how beautifully all the emotional aspects were captured in the movie, although it was uncomfortable and sad to watch but it also reflected brutally what a women can go through in a man's world. Without parental love and care anyone would be lost specially in an industry like this where barely anyone can be trusted. May her soul RIP.

It’s based on a fictional novel

People don't get the movie. It wasn't based on complete facts, it was taken from the perspective of a person who suffers from BPD and Bipolar Disorder, two conditions she absolutely suffered from. The 3some itself wasn't accurate, but the way SHE perceived it was. She was in love with both men, and slept with them both. In her mind, it was all three of them together, when in reality the two men may have been in competition with each other. You could see a glimpse of jealousy when she tells one of the guys that she loves him right in front of the other guy. Sometimes Borderlines see relationships very differently from reality. As far as the affair with Kennedy, that was the truth. It's very well known. Jackie was aware of that affair and many others he's had. That particular scene may have been debatable, but the affair was accurate. They wanted to highlight the unromanticized truth about the affair.

A good film, but needed background narrating in some sections as it felt like some of the characters were showing up or disappearing out of nowhere 😅

In movie Blonde ,it shown that it was not the father writing , but chaplin jr.

FOR THOSE CRITICIZING: I totally get it and see why many gave it a low score. However going into it I already knew that this was not meant to be a "by-the-numbers" biopic or docudrama. There have been at least a dozen or more of those about Monroe already, in addition to many documentaries. This was an art house character study inside the mind of Norma Jeane. The famous scenes from her films and life were peppered in to preserve a timeline, but it was not meant to be historic or a chronicle per se. As a character study (or actually an inner psychological identity struggle) it succeeded. And although many of the scenes were imagined or not fact (JFK rape, abortions, Chaplin/Robinson threesome, etc.), they are also not proven untrue either (in other words, knowing how her life was going they could have happened, so it wasn't like they were out of sync with the story). Note that they never mention Joe Dimaggio, Arthur Miller or JFK by name. They are simply known as the "the ex-athlete", "the playwright" and "the President" (even in the credits). I was a bit surprised however that there was no glimpse of the Happy Birthday, Mr. President scene & dress, or the issues on set with her final films "The Misfit" (Gable's last) and "Something's Got To Give" (Monroe's last).However the actor portraying "the President" is the same one to portray JFK in the Natalie Portman movie "Jackie".

Marilyn was so photogenic. The camera just loved her.

I thought Blonde was great. It showed how tragic her life was, no one seemed to treat her with love or respect. I do believe she had an affair with JFK and Bobby Kennedy and she was murdered for that. Ana de Armas is brilliant and Oscar worthy as Marilyn

The reason why I liked this movie is that it attempted to showcase her psyche and what she might have been feeling and thinking psychologically!

After how many movies/TV shows, documentaries, and memoirs, what is there to make a spoiler alert about her life for? I've now seen it. I still think there really can't be much in the way of spoilers outside of the fact that it's all a big, sad mess, IMO. Ana de Armas is extraordinary, tho.

Blonde is the worst trashing of a person’s legacy of any movie I’ve even seen. And all just to make a buck. Researchers have delved into some of the sordid scenes they have Monroe involved in in this film. No historical facts or personal accounts of Norma Jean’s mother ever trying to drown her in a bathtub, no evidence of a three-some with two men and a subsequent abortion, or of the JFK bedroom scene. Everyone involved in making this abomination should be ashamed of themselves.

I absolutely love Marilyn Monroe and to be honest I don't mind this movie. I knew for a fact it wasn't a biopic, but rather a fictional movie with some real elements thrown in. Some of the more adult scenes weren't necessary (especially the whole thing with jfk) but I think it captured Monroe and her battle with her personal demons quite well even if some elements weren't entirely authentic

I think the movie was phenomenal. It focused on and captured one of the very real facets of Marilyns life which is the depth, darkness, and pain she felt. The portrayal of her experience is expertly expressed through visually larger-than-life and rather immersive scenes to illustrate the way she must have felt in her *inner* reality. Although much of this wasn't Marilyn's exact matter-of-fact experience, but it was something akin to. It's a condensed dramatization. I think most people aren't watching the movie and letting it be what it is. It was never claimed to be completely factual. It wasn't meant to be a literal representation of her life. The story is rooted to one focal point of a rich spectrum of experiences the actress surely experienced in her lifetime. A nearly 3 hour movie could never capture entirely what her life was. Any film adaptation of Marilyns life would just inherently be diluted to some degree. The author of the book chose one area of her life and amplified the volume through a fictional representation of the facts. I watched this movie through the eyes of empathy, having brushed against feelings of being used and abandoned myself, so I have no doubt parts of Norma Jeane's inner world felt as intense as the movie expressed. Ana de Armas has expressed in interviews that she really channeled into Marilyn's spirit requesting permission to represent her in this way and you can see the obvious 'yes' in how well Ana captured Marilyn's essence. If I were Norma Jeane, I think it would have been very therapeutic to feel seen and understood in such a away. We have so much to look back to in regards of seeing the reality of Marilyn Monroe's actual life that we can reconcile how saturated this movie is with the truth. There's an opportunity in over-correcting or over-expressing that allows us to scale back enough to find the actual balance and that's what we're left to do at the end. I don't think the movie diminishes her at all, but gives all the uncomfortable themes in her life she dealt with a chance to truly be in the light. If it made YOU uncomfortable, imagine being in the shoes of Norma Jeane.

Ana de Armas- perfection Marilyn Monroe’s Male gaze warped presentation- less than perfection

That was her life ..depressed and lonely. Dont know abt her affairs..but it did seem to have a huge effect on her Anna was the right person..to play..she did sn amazing job

ms mojo is a good channel

I watched this movie yesterday and I have watched other Marilyn bios and movies, I feel like this movie is a fifty shades of MARILYN MONROE in a nutshell. Nobody in this lifetime are any other I believe ever thought Marilyn Monroe had a great life but this movie takes it over the edge and beyond. I must say that if there is any amount of truth to Joyce C. OATES Book about Marilyn Monroe and what she endured against her will are so we see in this movie, should strongly be looked into by law enforcement. Titles of very important people of yesteryear that make way to rights of powerful people of today and the titles and riches the hold should be shitting bricks after the nation wide release of this movie. Maybe not enough people read Joyce C. Oates book about the late actress, but this movie is a "GATE OPENING" to a whole new resurgence of # me too. Maybe that's why this movie was made this way in all its extremely bold unfiltered accusations it creates, because I felt like I was watching a movie based on some sort of high profile court case turned into some sort of very extremely twisted Documentary about Marilyn Monroe only without the high profile court case. Maybe I'm missing something, are I just don't get it but I'm pretty sure, "I'm seeing the same movie everyone else is"!

ana is an amazing, beautiful, cute and humble woman. she is what every woman should be like! feminine, elegant and strong. people should leave her alone and stop destroying her! disgusting humanity!!

If you want to read the best book ever, ever written about Marilyn Monroe it is Marilyn: The Quest for an Oscar. The book was written with a positive theme and addressed the reason why Hollywood should recognize Marilyn Monroe with an Oscar. If you are a fan get this book it is all positive and true information about how Marilyn Monroe worked every day while in Hollywood to master her acting skills and much more. Marilyn: The Quest for an Oscar, available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble everywhere books are sold.

I saw the movie with a claim that it was the only place in Michigan to see it on the big screen. One part of the movie that is apparently baseless is that her mother tried to drown her in the bathtub when she was a little girl. The movie throughout has a surreal style that blurs the division between fact and fantasy.

I liked 'Blonde'. It was a pretty dark movie, horrific even. Sure it was a little too long. I couldn't tell why it switched from black and white to color. I read her father was identified in 2022. Ana De Armas is an excellent actress! I had no idea. I wonder how much truth there is that she was searching for her lost father in the men she saw. it was almost schizoid. The abortion scenes were too much. Blonde seems to criticize exploitation while engaging in it! If you like to think of Marilyn in a romanticized sense, I'd skip Blonde. I wonder if it's true that her mother, after all that time, acted as if she didn't know who her daughter was? The way they depict her relationship with Kennedy was a bad joke.

They should let her Rest In Peace rather than expose her privacy to the whole world.

I just watched the movie and i am shooked 😳

I'm a huge MM fan and totally disliked the movie. It was way, way, way too avant-garde for me. It was disrespectful to the woman making her out as bizarre, mentally ill, and zoned-out all the time. It was borderline disturbing to me. Another thing I dislike with period movies is when the details are overlooked. In 1950 she's getting a ride in a 1957-58 Cadillac. Then in 1956, she's being chauffeured in a 1963-64 Cadillac limo. Very disappointing and not recommended to any true MM fan.

I had to stop and take a break half way into the movie. The actor did well in playing her. But I had high hopes for more facts, realistic....should of tweeked the ending for remembrance

I loved it I am a huge fan so it was only a what if thing

Just finished watching it. Ana was great. I won't be shocked at all if she gets the Oscar. Yes, her accent fell off and it did take me out of it a bit and I wondered why they didn't fix some of it in post. Brody was good but didn't care for Cannavalle at all. Make up and hair were really, really well done. The cinematography was really fascinating and I *loved* the score. SPOILERS AHEAD... The absolute worst scenes to watch for me were the forced abortions and the rape scene at the top of the movie and all the stuff with Secret Service and the rape by the "President." It was awful and really violent and cruel. I hope her life was better than that but I know Blonde is mostly fiction so... Just my personal opinion.

This movie was a weird porno fever dream

Has noooo one seen "Don't Bother to Knock"

When I saw this film I felt bad for her she’s has suffering so much in her life and her Hollywood career bright on the outside but in the inside was depression

I really feel like NOBODY, I mean, NOBODY understands the movie correctly.
