"Marilyn Monroe only exists on the screen" THAT line is just so simple but so amazing🙌🏻
Agreed!
100% Indeed!!
@Kipper Knickerz Because things on screen are generally not real or at least biased. Marylin Monroe is thus not real.
I'm 15 and this is deep
@Kipper Knickerz because people love to overhype and exaggerate the simplest of things these days
There's something chilling about how Marilyn sang "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", specifically the lines "men grow cold as girls grow old" and "we all lose our charm in the end". It's so painfully ironic that she never grew old and never lost that charm because we never got to see her age past her mid-late thirties. Marilyn Monroe will never die or age because Norma Jean's death immortalized her.
Wow thats actually so insightful and kind of terrifying. She died immortalized as her fabrication. Shes a legend but it cost her so much, even her life. Fameis is crazy
@@inomrasmith Same age as Diana, Princess of Wales. Elton John may have been very insightful when he chose to adapt hos tribute to Monroe to sing at Diana's funeral.
@@VLind-uk6mb Yes. Princess Diana as well. She will always remain as "that" version of Princess Diana: young, a loving mother to two kids, a humanitarian.
@@trueblueedits4673 its literally like selling your soul in a way. Youre human self dies but your essence will live on. Yeesh i just got goosebumps. Its like some modern witchcraft. Even this film which im so excited for is just another way to make money off of Normas story
Great point. It’s almost parallel to the live by the sword die by the sword thing. Even if she didn’t want to, Marilyn certainly became extremely invested in flirtation, sex appeal, physical appearance, etc. Again, I don’t think this was her fault at all but her only way of making money. But it also seems like she got some self-worth out of feeling pretty. This is probably true for anyone who gets paid for how they look, it’s bound to rub off on your sense of worth. How sad that she couldn’t face the future of getting old and “ugly”. I love the line by Oscar Wilde, “the ugly can be beautiful. The pretty, never.”
When I finished watching the movie, I was angry, confused and dissapointed. But the movie never escaped my mind and I started to think about what I saw and began to appreciate it a whole lot more. Now, it's understandable why this movie is so controversial, because it touches upon showing one of the most beloved actresses in the world in a very dark and unsettling way. You need to understand a couple of things before watching; - this is not a biopic about Marilyn Monroe, at least not in a traditional way (both Andrew Dominik and Joyce Carol Oates even said that this movie is a work of fiction mixed with some real events). It's an experimental art house movie with elements of psychological thriller and even horror. At times it reminded me on Mulholland Drive by David Lynch; like a descent into a horrible nightmare that you can't escape from. - the movie is not interested in Marilyn Monroe's public image. People still worship this perfect and glamorous image of MM, but tend to overlook how tragic her life really was. Abused by her mother and most of men in her life, in search of love and acceptance, being marked as "dumb blonde" and reduced to sexism and humilitaion by people she trust the most. Blonde is a movie about this part of her life that not a lot of people want to talk about because it doesn't go well with their perfect idea of a young beatiful women who went to Hollywood and make it big. - the movie is meant to be a giant slap in the face to the "golden age of Hollywood" in the 50s and 60s. Let's face it; this era of Hollywood is still shown in a very positive light (how many "love letters to Hollywood" we have on Oscars every year?), yet behind the closed doors horrible things happened; harassements of women, abuse, violence, alcoholism, drug addictions, sexism etc. And they way I see it; Marilyn Monroe was one of the biggest victims of film industry. But like I said; this movie is not for everyone. It's dark, brutal, depressing, weird and doesn't hold any punches. The backlash is understandable, but I admire Dominik and De Armas for taking so many risks and make a movie that is not trying to please the crowd and feed it with cheap nostalgia. And like it or not; things in this movie are happening to women all over the world every day.
So true, she got sexual harassment when she was alive. Poor norma
You do understand (I hope) the whole film is fiction. There is very little of a "true" biography of Monroe.
You do realise that it’s a totally fictional story.
@@Jessi-44 yeah but what's the point in making fictional movies based on real people and events. It's so confusing. Imagine someone's making a movie about you but most of it is bull? Yohh they did MM dirty. Hollywood already stared her in movies as a dumb blonde, and now they're showing her as one too in closed doors.
@@GalaOrka actually in this film like 70 % is true so….
Incredible performance by Ana de Armas, she has to win an Oscar here. And even if half of what's suggested in this film is true it just adds so much sadness to the Monroe story
😂😂😂😂😂 definitely not an Oscar worthy performance! A nomination 💯! Bad casting all around!
It was mostly fiction though
@@AsymmetricalCrimes It's fiction, for sure, but the aim is to be emotionally true, which it is.
She couldn't even do an accent lmao
@@playmovieclip we got black mermaid. She hulk, maybe soon gay superman, and here u are complaining about accent...lol
The black and white theme is stunningly gorgeous. It really captures the beauty of the darkest moments of Marilyn Monroe’s life offscreen. The way everything was shot just feels like you’re not alienated. It seems as if we’re really upfront witnessing the rise and downfall of a Hollywood icon.
yes but this movie is inspired by the novel book "blonde" not the real life of Marilyn Monroe but I see your point.
i knew you was the impostor
Agreed. It gives you that sense of class and, kind of gives itself a noir style tone that captures the depressing grey feelings of Monroe herself
netflix really? its called blonde but you couldnt hire a blonde actress.... smh smh
@@bodigames Marilyn isn't even a real blonde what r u saying
Marilyn didn’t know how famous she was going to be!!! And I’m still not over people handing Marilyn’s famous dress so easily 😭😭😭 she deserved better even after passing
she's dead now, so that doesn't affect her. They had to treat her better when she was still alive.
Money talks.
So true!
@plantcraftie that’s not the point Marilyn said she wanted to be the only one who could wear that dress and her wishes were totally disregarded so before you start acting stupid online plz go get a life 😘🤯🥹💀
They let Kim Kardashian wear it how shameful of them that girl should not being nothing Marilyn Monroe ever wore
A highly intelligent woman treated awful throughout her life, put on the highest pedestal possible, discarded like trash, used instead of helped and eventually murdered by the Mob. Norma Jean was beautifully imperfect and she didn't deserve 36 years of torture from the people supposed to love her, take care of her and treat her right. Her lifestory is heartbreaking. I sincerely hope that Norma Jean has found the perfect Peace 💕💋
Sadly she hasn't. The Bible is clear what happens to those that reject Christ and commit adultery.
@@thejamesbondshow9754 oh shut up
every tear in her eyes is a drop in my mind...
Ana was amazing and completely transformed into her, gave an eerie peek into what it must’ve been like to see her in real time. Her performance transcended every expectation. The disrespect shown to Marilyn throughout the film is pretty unforgivable though and I hate that this is marketed as a biopic when it is NOT. Norma Jeane was not who Andrew Dominik insinuates she was. She was so much more.
you should watch the woman king, I think that would go better with you.
@@brittanytaylor8551 I know u fit the stereotype
Thank you for pointing this out. Many will think this is 💯 fact when it’s not. Ugh. I wish I could unsee it.
He definitely didn’t sugar coat it, her very troubled childhood explains her melancholy and the choices she made. The movie was more of what Hollywood can do to someone that is unstable and gets into that business, especially in those days. Aside from MM, it also gave bad light of DeMagio and JFK who people probably will still admire because of their profession despite their shortfalls so doubt it will be any different for MM.
@@acer4237 I’m upset as a lifetime fan of hers, because she specifically stated she did not want to be made into a joke, and she was made into one. I understand his passion or his vision or whatever it may be that drove him to make this, but I wish he hadn’t. She suffered a lot, yes, absolutely, but he made the whole film about an abortion that isn’t even on record to have happened. She did not call Joe or Arthur or anyone else “daddy” (especially every two seconds? The purpose was lost on me) and the sex scenes were exploitative. Why he took RUMORS of an affair and turned them into grotesque POV shots of her being forced to give him a blowjob - I don’t know. Even if all of this were FACT (it isn’t) it wasn’t done respectfully or tastefully. They filmed her death scene exactly where she died, like the actual spot. That’s not cool. She suffered greatly but she wasn’t nothing but a victim. He painted her a victim and nothing else, and most of the shit he painted her a victim to she never was. She deserves a better script with better intentions imo. :/
For someone who couldn't speak English when she first came to Hollywood and now able to do take on a fully method role, that's dedication and talent. INCERDIBLE love it keep it going Mrs. Armas
She moved to New York in her early 20s to learn English.
@@mgcuts She moved to the USA in 2014, when she was 26 years old, for the filming of the movie "Stone Hands". At the age of 27, she began to speak normally. Now she is 34 years old. No need to invent.
@@user-pb1og6qi9f She lived in New York for 3 months in 2010 learning English before moving back to Spain to do TV work. Not inventing, do your research.
@@mgcuts giving rich kids too much credit!
@@mgcuts Wow, three months... I'm sure she really figured it out
I love the use of aspect ratio and cinematography of this movie. It's a movie that was made last year and yet it looks exactly like a movie that could've come out in the 50s or 60s, the exact time period that this movie depicts. I miss seeing new black and white movies and I'm glad some filmmakers are still keeping this type of filmmaking alive these days
Yesss I agree!
stream Passing!!
@@GeloYellow that Rebecca Hall movie starring Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga? Yeah I know that and I like it. And also Kenneth Branagh's Belfast used the same filmmaking technique to tell his story. Both movies came out last year anyways so yeah still wishing for more movies with this technique
there is Justice is Gray edition of Snyder Cut. Also the aspect ratio
Pawlikowski and Lukasz Zal kinda brought Academy ratio back in vogue over the past decade with Ida winning the Oscar and Cold War nominated for several more including cinematography. Even Cuaron tried to convince Chivo to do Roma in the aspect ratio but Chivo talked him out of it before being unable to shoot the movie. Pavel and Alfonso are close friends and Cold War and Roma are considered by them both as "sister movies". Lukasz Zal also shot the excellent latest Charlie Kaufman feature for Netflix in the same aspect ratio but in color.
Awards season is starting the Golden Globes has just announced their list for Best Actress and Ana de Armas was nominated for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in Netflix's BLONDE. Good LUCK Ana!
This film honestly felt like someone was struggling with a teen pornography fetish while they wrote the script. How many times did they need to have Ana say “Daddy” while she struggled with daddy issues? There were scenes of her being beaten & still saying “Daddy ” in an endearing & bewildered tone. Spotlighting her submissiveness. Extremely devalued her character by using her wide innocent eyes in crude & abusive situations. Perhaps the most realistic portrayal of Hollywood & the porn industry. Where grimy men in power exploit women ruthlessly to benefit themselves until the next beauty comes along. Marilyn was merely a sad eyed puppet in the majority of this film. The cinematography, costume, makeup, set design were done beautifully. The script & plot should be put up in flames with the rest of her character’s childhood home.
Netflix again exploits. The worst company! Glad many people stopped watching this 20mins into the movie.
I was excited to see this film. From the comments it looks like it lacks authenticity.
@@eltocayo87 it really did. There are many movies from Quentin Tarantino that will be standing the test of time. This film will be easily forgotten. Eye candy without substance.
@@graciedays So true. This was a disgusting portrayal of Marilyn Monroe's life from the director and writer.
I agree with your point about the script bordering on porn fetish, it was gratuitous in too many scenes. One might excuse the explicit scenes if it was a case of realism in documenting true events, but this is NOT what really happened in her life, so what is the justification for the gratuitous content? I left the room for a few minutes and came back to the scene in the president's bedrroom. If you have seen the movie, you know what I'm referring to. I thought my wife had meanwhile switched over to a porn channel by mistake. Was that scene really necessary, in a movie that wasn't really an accurate account. I don't think so.
ok but the scenes in her movies that were recreated literally look like the original ones that’s amazing and surreal actually Update : This was bad, I’m so sorry style over substance isn’t enough and this looked like a parody of Marilyn’s own suffering, foolish spectacle.
Yes especially in the Some Like It Hot scene, I had to skip back to make sure it was her and not just a scene from the real movie
i love that it's detailed. i hate it when there's recreation and it looks like a cheap budget production lol it's small details like that that i love
Thought the same. I was like ‘is that actual Marilyn footage or is it Ana? I am blown away it’s Ana.
Yes it's incredible!!
@@alinazakharova8564 same here!!
I like how the trailer doesn’t show the entire plot of the movie. And something about it really has that dark and haunting feel to it that it sends chills down your spine.
bro as if we don't know how the story ends 💀💀
Honestly, i think this is how trailers should be like. Gives me a curious feeling to research more about Norma Jean Baker and her life.
So I guess it's okay to have a Latino woman play a white woman? Where is the outrage about "appropriation" from the woke people? Talk about hypocrisy and double standards.
@@sameasyou1327 Since when does an actor have to be the same nationality as the person he was portraying? Jesus Christ wasn't an American, but James Patrick Caviezel Jr. played him in the Passion of Christ, Alexander the Great wasn't Irish, but Colin Farrell played him, etc.... Its called acting.
@@rayarena879 Couldn’t agree more and now people are back lashing James Franco for playing a Cuban because he’s not Latino enough. People need to understand that acting is portraying someone that you are actually not.
I was so excited to watch this movie for months and it was definitely not what I expected :( but ugh the actor that plays her did a phenomenal job , I was in shock how good she played her. I’m jus sad Marilyn really lived an awful life she didn’t not even one bit deserve💔
This movie isn't a biopic on Marilyn Monroe, it's based on a fictional book
Don't feel too bad. This movie is almost entirely fiction beyond the skeleton of the events known to have happened.
they have show tiny of her personality ,i highelty doubt that things in movie are true,and they didn't show her personality that she believed in God and Judaism,I guess judiasm dosent exist for netflix,I have to say that back then many bad things happend to womens in Hollywood
She sounds like she’s got a Spanish accent still
The movie is fiction, for God's sake, it's not her biography.
Andrew Dominik is a madperson of a filmmaker and thank goodness for that. This is the perfect teamup of vision + casting
You can see that the actress does a spectacular job, even in the trailer you can feel her grace, charisma and pain, the psychological approach of the script and the use of mirrors as symbolism reminds me of the black swan and the photography of conrad hall. Incredible!
She looks great, and she is a great performer, but it's clear she can't quite hide her Cuban accent.
@@stevesweeney7776 Well, it is not that long ago she couldn't say one sentence in english.
Whores have grace
@@zdenek3010 Jennifer lawrence would have been a good choice
@@stevesweeney7776 I agree, that accent comes through quite obviously. Even tho Marilyn had some what of a speech impediment.
The details of the outfits, hair, makeup…. Sooo spot on. Each scene I could recall exactly the original look of Marilyn and it’s pretty spot on. Ana is sooo beautiful.
She plays the part well but MM was never that thin.
@@letsgoexplorecolorado8249 cry about it 🤡
@@StreetTruckinTitanShe’s around the same weight as Marilyn’s average weight.
@@letsgoexplorecolorado8249 Well obviously I disagree… sooo…. ?
You beautiful too Cherisse .
I think Norma Jeane would be horrified about the film. It shows (most of the time) a weak, depressive person, fictional embarrassing details of her life and destroys the memory of her legend.
I cried through the whole movie.😢 I heard things growing up bout Marilyn but this took the cake. Been a big fan of her and Dorothy Dandrige. Two BEAUTIFUL ICONIC ACTRESSES THAT NEED MORE RECOGNITION & RESPECT. R.I.P.🕊🕊💖💖🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@Windy2468 Yeah, it's based off of a fictional novel which was _inspired_ by Marilyn Monroe. Movie didn't make it clear enough.
@@Windy2468 We're on the same page buddy... :) I have no interest in seeing this movie. From everything I've heard it's quite cold and exploitative.
What I really like is how Ana is portraying Marilyn’s real feelings in these situations rather than how Marilyn showed them people always said it was rare to see her visibly sad especially in front of cameras because she’d turn on a switch
Nobody knows her “real feelings” except her. This book was taken from a novel. Not autobiography
@@mumbles215 watch the documentary of Marilyn Monroe unheard tapes the watch this trailer you’ll see what I mean
Her accent is distracting. And it's obvious she doesn't look like Marilyn Monroe. Can't they cast someone who speaks English in the role?
@@trhansen3244 Was it not English she was speaking? Oh shit I must be losing it
@@trhansen3244 what accent?🤔
I read a book about Marilyn when I was in my early twenties. I had so much empathy for her. I was so saddened by the idea of her not having good people around her to truly love her and make her life experience better. With this in mind, that's we should be doing with each other as much as possible. Lifting each other up and making our collective life experiences better.
Don’t read my name 😑 ..
lovely insight :)
she was a cash machine, keep her working by any means, everyone falling at her feet, it would be so confusing.
This is something very normal in the show business. Many artists feel alone and used. Read the latest rant of Britney Spears against her mother. Is all the same. Many artist can’t trust the motives of people that come near of them. They think people are in love with the personification they are doing but not them.
Hollywood really used her for what they wanted, chewed and spat her out. She wanted the fame but it was a double edged sword. You’re right though- she needed the right people around her to love, support and ground her.
I have not seen this movie. But MM was very intelligent, read books even had a library. She worked hard and I beileve even had her own production company. She was smart and alot of the hollywood men and companies like Fox didn't like it. I think she was quite a rebel. I also think she made her own movie Bus Stop. She also had a horrible childhood.. and in my opinion she was strong and determined to make it in life. She also endured miscarriages and wanted a child so badly... she was a good woman. And I feel honestly people took advantage of her. She had a simple passion to act dance and sing.. and I hope this movie isn't making it seem like she's some crazy selfish woman she was an amazing creative intelligent woman. I really do not want to be disappointed.
It's giving me an updated 'Norma Jean & Marilyn' vibe almost. I'm here for it.
This trailer leaves me with a deep sickening feeling, such a tragic figure she was. The whole thing was hauntingly beautiful, I bet the whole film’s gonna hurt even more
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless him! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him! True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Your worries (yes, anxiety), depression, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING will melt away and be NO MORE when you lean on God and put your trust in him! When I have physical pain, I literally pray and the Lord quells it, that I am healed! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.
To whomever is reading this (pay attention) - wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
Can't wait to see this version.🌸
Only one is MM
It’s bizarre how similar Ana looks like Marilyn in some scenes. I can already feel this film is going to make me feel something deeply at the end.
I think some are edited, like you can see Ana's face being edited with CGI to look more like Marilyn but yes she looks beautiful like Monroe.
@@AntiStraightMaleSociety ah! Didn’t even think of CGI, very neat.
its CGI
She's a great actress but she wasn't a great pick for Marilyn.
I don't even think it's just the physical appearance, there's some moments that her mannerisms are so perfect it tricks you into thinking they look even more similar. In this trailer, the way she tilts her head and the bit with her putting her hands on her face (for a scene from Some Like it Hot, by the looks of it) is perfect. I'm impressed.
Deserved Oscar nom for Ana! She’s incredible
Wow!!! Just watched the movie her life was hard from the very beginning. She was such a delicate flower and it's sad the way the men in her life used her up. The women who played Marilyn Monroe did a phenomenal job. It was a very emotional movie
Whoever did the music editing for this trailer deserves a grammy. A genius use of this song - excellent execution. Best trailer Ive seen in a long time
I couldn't agree more!
I wish there was a place to download this version of the song. It's beautiful and hunting. I can't get it out of my head.
@@Gaymer. I couldn’t either. I watched it last night and all morning in my classes it was stuck in my head which is why I rewatched the trailer
SO good! I searched for this version. It's dynamic, moving, piercing ... so good.
Just make up
I live in Spain, and I remember growing up watching Ana de Armas in the spanish teen tv show "El Internado" like 15 years ago, it makes me so happy for her seeing all the work she's gotten in Hollywood, and now...getting to portray the one and only Marilyn Monroe, gosh...I feel so proud of her and how far she's come ^^
Omg yes ! Carolina if I didn’t see your comment I would not have made the connection ! She is stunning 😍
Hey! I also know her from El Internado, I loved that show, it was aired in Romania. A lot of good actors there, glad to see at least Ana de Armas making it so big!
Me too. Super fan of hers. She’s amazing!
I'm from Russia and feel the same. This tv series is pretty popular there. I feel like she grew up before my eyes 😂
Luckily, because Spanish TV was too harsh on her. Jealousy perhaps?
Yes, Ana gots both cuban and spanish blood in her. To me, i dont care where shes from but yes the fact that her great acting made Marilyn come to life, like if Marilyn was in her during the entire filming. Ana was just amazing in this movie. See you in the Oscars Ana!!!
Oh my God...I'm wreaked. Like seriously freaking wreaked! I haven't been in the "entertainment" industry for many years but this brought so much back! God rest your soul my precious sister
I wish they would have given her a little more time with a dialect coach, because other than Ana's beautiful accent coming through loud and clear, this portrayal is flawless. Very well cast!
Yeah But you can't denied , Ana looks like she about to nailed it
Ngl I like that she has the accent. The book is a novelization of Marilyn's life, and if the movie is faithful at all, the whole point is to deconstruct the persona. Having her speak with an accent is kind of a brilliant move to reinforce the point that the Marilyn on screen that we know is a fraud
Even the best actors sometimes have their natural accents bleed through. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to try and get rid of a thick Spanish accent.
@@andreimileti Yeah! I think Ana's accent also helps reinforce that this *is* a work of fiction, even more than a straight-forward biopic is a work of fiction. We aren't watching the true facts, and having the actor not try to replicate Marilyn perfectly really works for that. Besides, she evokes the tone, which might be even more important!
She had six months, I think she sounds fine
She did a perfect job replicating Marilyn's poise and facial expressions, wow. I'm super excited about this!
She has a thick accent and can't act.
@sp1878 let them be excited bro
Agreed. Absolutely perfect casting.
She did an even better job at that Spanish accent!
Her voice to
im so glad they are finally showing how these huge stars didn't live perfect fairy tale lives. Behind the scenes, they fought to keep it together and this movie and the lifetime movie show how Marylin Munroe needed help but nobody wanted to give her a helping hand. its an American tragedy.
except it is a fictionalized account of her life, and made up in a lot of the movie. you can't take it seriously, or think you have any better insight into the life of the real-life Marilyn after watching this movie.
GOSH THIS MOVIE WAS SO DISAPPOINTING. I usually hate seeing public comments trashing a movie no matter what it is - yet I just have to make a comment on this film. I’m not even a devoted fan of Marilyn by any means, so do with that what you will. Admittedly, the cinematography and much of the scene work was breathtaking and artfully executed. Really, just stunning. From the colours, to the gorgeous black & white scenes, it’s beautiful. It was special to see some of Marilyn’s famous portraits come to life in real moving scenes. And Ana de Armas was incredible in her portrayal. Her acting was great visually, including her uncanny resemblance, to her incredibly accurate mannerisms. It felt like you were actually watching Marilyn at many moments. The only small bit that shook that image was the occasional slight accent, but you can’t hold it against her - it’s easy to overlook and arguably Ana is one of the best actors for the role. You can tell she worked incredibly hard and embodied what she could of Marilyn very well. The material *however* was an absolute sheer waste of Ana’s talent. SERIOUSLY. Marilyn had a very hard life, both pre-fame and during her rise as a star. Behind the glamour, she was repeatedly taken advantage of and objectified and abused. She genuinely faced many challenges, and this is what you expect this film to dive in to from the way it is framed in teasers and trailers. This movie summarises this aspect however with no humanising truth or actual insight after all. It anchors Marilyn’s entire character primarily in bursts of sobbing, sprinkled in with sudden screaming fests, as well as high impact sex scenes ranging from threesomes, simulated blow jobs, or rape. In fact most of her scenes are literally just of her crying, or being naked. It all comes across as simply for shock value, nothing more. The added myths in the storyline are unfortunately all pointless too; it could have focused on so many real life references and experiences of hers, as enough revealed snippets of her private life exist to create such a story. Her struggles with her emotional and mental wellbeing are portrayed very unrealistically - substituted instead with huge exaggeration and almost continual manic meltdowns. They truly wrote her character as this constantly unhinged & almost depraved being, either as a sexed-up or drugged-up object quite literally passed & dragged along from man to man. Marilyn was a shiny sex symbol in the spotlight yet was also hard-working and really quite articulate and sincere in person, but none of this is expressed. Even in some real life interviews, she is vulnerable as to describe her unhappiness and emptiness in life with great self awareness & emotional intelligence. There is virtually no such implication in this film, where she is greatly dumbed down and seemingly overwhelmed with unrelenting “daddy issues” proposed as the core of her woes. You anticipate this film to make her more human. It does the very opposite. All in all, underlying this unexpectedly bizarre characterisation of Marilyn, it really is as though she is written to have zero consciousness or autonomy as a person. I found myself increasing the speed of the film just to finish it faster - something I’ve never done before even in bad films or shows! It lacks so much… no… ANY depth and intimacy for a film that claims to show a behind-the-scenes insight into the real Marilyn, Norma Jane. Instead it condescends her, and strips her of all dignity. The quality of cast and cinematography feel so disjointed from the amateur, weak script writing itself. It’s very fractured; like a weird, cheap montage with flashes of her performances amongst her never-ending, overwhelming instability. It’s a really bad prototype of a movie, that somehow, tragically made its way into a professional studio.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
This is the best review I've read of this film by far. I completely agree with you. It is an absolute travesty for those who admire Monroe. Just sheer disappointment, except for Ana DeArmas' acting.
“Hi Daddy! Where’d you go to? *Back hand swing to M’s face* “Oh Daddy, it’s my fault I don’t know how the room got this way… I’ve been sick, I guess.” -shock factor? or men living out their own nasty fantasies on Ana?…we’ll never know. 🤢🤢🤮🤮

You can see that the actress does a spectacular job, even in the trailer you can feel her grace, charisma and pain, the psychological approach of the script and the use of mirrors as symbolism reminds me of the black swan and the photography of Conrad Hall. Incredible!

@@aidafani5071 you don't think it helps to look like the person you're trying to portray? Marilyn was known as a buxom blonde. This actress has a small frame. She should have filled out some for the role.
It's a surreal, poetic meditation on an inexpressibly sad, short life of mistreatment and powerlessness. The beauty of the film transcends the tragedy. Ana de Armas is brilliant.
I cried a lot 😭😭😭😭
But its fiction
it is fiction.
When Andrew Dominik saw Ana De Armas in her first U.S. Film Knock Knock, he knew that she would play Norma Jean. That's some incredible insight he had, and her performance proved just how right he was.
Facts
I can’t recall the last time a trailer gave me goosebumps. I can feel the emotional turmoil and pain she was in. Well done! I can’t wait to see it!
Elvis trailer..
i love marilyn monroe...im gonna watch it big time!!!!
To whomever is reading this (pay attention) - wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
This is not a biopic, it's a fictional story based on a book with the same title
Died at very young age, 36. And 60 years after her death, people still adore her. Legend.
36. I remember her death vividly. I look back at 36 from my vantage point and think it's only the beginning.
Murdered. There is a ex-mafia made man on here who talks about and what his father told him... she definitely was going to blab about mafia business... they forced an OD with an enema. It's so sad.
And 60 years later, people still are jealous and wanting to BE her 😁👍
Very young. Did she pass away from natural causes?
This movie made me feel so sad for her. Crazy how artists went through so much back in the day. They still go through a lot. All the pressure and spotlight. The things you have to do to get somewhere and become somebody. She lost respect for herself and gave up on life. Truly sad. Great film.
@@lewienew was it better?
@@lewienew I agree. If Marilyn saw this movie, she would be horrified. NetFlix really degraded her.
they have show tiny of her personality ,i highelty doubt that things in movie are true,and they didn't show her personality that she believed in God and Judaism,I guess judiasm dosent exist for netflix,I have to say that back then many bad things happend to womens in Hollywood
@@cinderellaasmr This is from a book, its fiction. Thats why its disrespectful. Imagine people make up exaggerated sexual abuse / childhood abuse stories about you and sell it as a biopic after you die. Its based on a book inspired by her. She cant return and defend herself. Lot of other artists got more complex storylines, she was more interesting than just her abuse.
except what you saw wasn't true, or highly exaggerated.
i have been in love with ana since she did knock knock which admittedly isn’t a great film but her character & her beauty just got me & her face is so beautiful & her acting is always incredible & the fact that english isn’t her first language & she’s not from the US but made it as marilyn in this is so amazing & im so glad i discovered her before she got into bigger films because watching her career unfold more & more every year has made me so happy that someone i saw great potential in, & felt that she’d always be cast as the pretty girl whos latina & will always base her character around her accent. luckily that has changed & she’s being recognized & getting roles that just let her be her & whatever character she is playing she aces. i just adore her & she’s one of the most beautiful women i have ever seen & her in knock knock definitely confirmed my bisexuality lmao, that film has a cool concept & it’s really cool seeing two young girls who are seemingly typical party girls turn so dark was really fun & new to me, the first like 15 minutes were incredibly boring & awkward & keanu just was so off in that, i feel like he has difficulty playing roles in certain films but not others with the same premise. his acting was very out of place & i understand the character is meant to act awkward but it felt like he actually wasn’t comfortable & wasn’t putting much emotion into it. until the scene where he’s in the chair yelling that was really good & i’ve never seen him yell & seem so desperate like that, then arguably later near the end when he is supposed to be terrified it was kinda funny his reactions & him trying to process what’s happening, it was good acting but it felt like it was satire, the girls in this, one being ana played this so well the entire time, they weren’t awkward they were calculated & you could never read them or what their relationship was & even the reason for doing all that didn’t make a whole lot of sense, the ending was frustrating because you wanted to know what happened but left it with only the destruction caused. i’m trying to be vague in case you wanna watch it. it’s on netflix now, atleast in canada. if you can sit through the first 15 minutes where they set up some background but filled with a lot of unnecessary stuff then i suggest giving it a chance but you’ll probably be frustrated as well regardless if you enjoy the acting or characters. i realize that was a lot of rambling but i just wanted to over explain the movie i first saw of hers & how it’s not great but her acting was, im glad people aren’t complaining about her accent much, she’s definitely gotten much better with american accents & i can’t imagine how difficult that must be, i for some reason feel it’s harder to have an american accent when you’re say german or russian or australian or spanish spoken with that accent for english than it is for english spoken with american accents to play a russian/etc accented character. maybe i’m wrong- but english is the hardest & most weird language to learn & it’s over complicated for no reason so it’s hard to learn pronunciations & how one word in sound can be spelled 3 ways & all mean different things. basically i’m proud of her & i cannot wait to see everything she is in & how much people will really appreciate her from this film. i’m so excited man i’m sorry for the rant i know nothing about anything also this is just opinion
She is by far the best actress that was picked that looks closest to Marilyn. Very beautiful ❤️

Jesus what a movie. I was in tears by the end of it. This is a very heavy movie. The abuse this poor woman suffered breaks my heart. While Ana's Cuban accent keeps piercing through, and I will say I was a complete doubter after seeing the trailer that she would be able to pull this off, but lo and behold she does! Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe was intoxicating. There were scenes in this film where it actually felt like I was watching the real Marilyn Monroe so much was the likeness. I think Netflix has a huge hit on their hands here. It is going to be interesting to see the numbers posted in the coming week of households viewing "Blonde". Film also has an amazing score by Nick Cave and I loved how when it switched to colour from black and white (which it does frequently) the films colour is all drained so it looks like you are actually watching something from the sixties . Very stylishly shot.
Very heavy it traumatised me
The movie is fictional bro. They straight up lied about the JFK scene in an attempt to shock the audience.
The movie is fictional and it is a 1/1 copy of the movie Blonde from 2001 ...Nothing different ...That actress was same good as Ana ...This movie is just a stupid copy !!!!!!
I bawled… that scene with her mom and her as a kid in the bathroom… pfff… broke me..
I'm literally crying right😭😭
Ughh I love this trailer! The music is just so perfect and it stays in my mind forever…I especially love the “and we all lose our charm in the end…” because we all see the glamour of Marilyn and that’s often all that’s focused upon but this movie reveals that even the most charming parts we see on television are now exposed in the end and we see how tragic her life really was. And I know this isn’t a biopic and it’s controversial, but she really was abused, used, and so many terrible things happened to her. She was a star…and like a star, her light still reaches us all these years later after her death.
The casting choices seem great so far. Ana's Spanish accent is coming through a little bit but I think it's not going to end up being a huge distraction for me. I'm SUPER EXCITED for this to be released!
Very obvious Spanish accent, way too distracting.
The accent isn’t coming through a little bit. It’s coming through a lot. Doesn’t sound like Marilyn at all. Hopefully her performance will be good
@@holliswilliams8426 why would it be distracting?
Hollywood movies are produced for the world, not for America and UK consumption only. Her voice will either be dubbed or shown with subtitles for people who don't care or can't tell the difference of her accent.
You hear it a little, but I think her husky tone of voice and intonation makes up for that. She sounds like her imo. She's fantastic!
I am bursting with so many emotions. This looks beautiful. I can’t imagine what it was like recreating all of those iconic moments while acting out her personal struggles she hid behind that glamorous exterior
This is based on a book "blonde" not the real life of Marilyn Monroe but yes this movie would be emotional. Ana de Armas is a great actress!
Bursting with emotions?! Dude you need some more testosterone
@@islandcactus1508 high levels of testosterone are assiciated with increased emotional reactivity. So I'm not sure what you're on about.
Im pretty sure I don’t need anyone making assumptions about what my body needs but I appreciate your concern. Just let people be excited about whatever they like. It literally costs you nothing to let people be happy.
I've finished viewing it. Heart breaking what the actress was going through. The pressure from the media and her personal life. Ana De Armas should receive an Oscar for her performance.
This has the makings of a movie that will b adored maybe not today, but many years from now.
The trailer is stunning, I can't imagine how would be the movie. Marilyn Monroe is going to give Ana De Armas her first Oscar.
The woman who was perfect on screen but no one knew what she actually went thru I wish she had a diary and to get to know her in a deeper level I absolutely love her or whom she was stunning the most imperfect but perfect woman that maybe didn’t have the right people around her to actually be there for her I can’t wait to watch this movie 🎥🤍🤍🤍 and also if she is or was still here and she never died like some think I hope she had a great life 🤍🤍

Those "Niagara" shots are totally a cinematic match to that film's color palette. Well done. That movie is a potboiler for sure, but one I never tire of watching. Norma Jean was impersonating a character called "Marilyn." I always love seeing her drop that mask somewhat when I watch her best dramatic work in films like "Bus Stop" and "The MIsfits."
Yeah the Niagara shits really stood out to me - it’s incredible how they recreated that look so perfectly.

Just finished it. One of the darkest, most emotional movies I've ever seen. Wow.
Yep
total fabrication.
She died 60 years ago, and we still cannot get enough of her, she would be 96 years old. This beautiful actress Ana de Armas looks the best of any actress IMO that has tried to emulate the incomparable Marilyn Monroe.
So true
Great Choice of Actress.💕
Agree
I’ve been dying for a proper portrayal of Marilyn, and Im glad I can finally see her in Ana. The cinematography is perfect, the light as well.
So maybe stop flogging her sad ending for every last dime and leave the woman alone after 60 years. She would not approve.
I liked the film, but her life ended very sad. The music on the end when MM died maked me cry. Ana was very good in her acting. You think your looking at MM herself. 👍👍 and the sex in the movie. What else did people expected? Marilyn Monroe was the sex symbol of her time. And still. 🙏 hope Norma R.I.P. and that she met her father in heaven.❤
I’m crying 😭 I know she wasn’t “innocent” but she just wanted to be loved and TO love a baby of her own. My heart.
This trailer makes me want to cry. That emotion and expression Ana De Armas can express with just her eyes is staggering, and knowing the outcome. It's just so monumentally sad.
The film looks good
Ana De Armas is spectacular in every sense. I would predict an Oscar for her, not necessarily for this movie, but in her career. But really talent like that doesn't need any recognition, it speaks by itself.
Netflix has an aggressive marketing department or whatever you call it, they WILL get Ana nominated for Oscar if the performance warranted it.
She'll get a nomination for sure.

@@as7terix458 Eiza skin color is more tan and looks nothing like monroe, Ana is more pale and fits perfect to play Monroe
Regardless of what you guys think about the film, I believe it is a perfect portrayal of the truth of how Hollywood crushed such a beautiful icon and Ana did an incredible job
I just don't understand why they had to embellish her story to make it seem even more tragic. Was her original story not compelling enough??
This looks very promising, Ana De Armas is such an incredible actress and I'm happy that it'll be her portraying the complex and beautiful character of Marilyn Monroe. Can't wait to see it.

Stayed up until 1am last night, watching. I used to be a hard core fan of Marilyn’s. I was featured in a MM SHOWTIME doc in 1993 produced by Joshua Greene, who’s dad Milton Greene was MM’s production company partner. I sold almost 200 original oil on canvas paintings of MM, read 15 different biographical books (including the one this was based on) I lived in Brentwood and one day noticed, looking at my Thomas guide map, that if you draw a straight line from point A (her house, where she died) to her crypt in Westwood Memorial cemetery, I spent half my life exactly on the middle of that line. I noticed poltergeist in my apt when doing this research and painting the paintings. I was famous for a night at the premiere of “life after death” in Palm Springs. In short, I know ALOT about MM. In the movie, I instantly knew what where when, etc etc without having to be told. What did I think? Brilliant tour de force. Acting, direction, art design, editing AMAZING. Best of all was the soundtrack which was always exactly what we needed. Ana brought MM alive like few have done. Made me fall in love w her all over again- BOTH MM and Ana. But now the less than perfect: 1. Why so much gratuitous nudity? I found the producers doing the same exact thing to Ana as Hollywood had done to MM- sexualizing her over the top. Shame on Brad Pitt et all for that. Disgusting vile scene of MM performing fellatio on a sitting POTUS who’s discussing the Cuban missile crisis? Did I have to see this? I cant un-see it. Shame on you again! Then there is the ending. This movie, just like ELVIS, started w a bang, ended w a wimper. MM’s death was waaaay more complicated than this account. I know it was based on the book but still… The truth is, its well known that MM kept a diary. She was privy to insider info on the Bay of Pigs. She threatened to go public. A press conference was planned for monday; she died (killed?) on saturday….hmmmm Overall, its still a phenomenal near biblical parable that proves the bible is true- men are inherently wicked. No amount of social engineering or sensitivity training will ever fix humanity. Even the “good guys” like JFK were not good. Even MM- one of the sweetest souls who ever lived, was completely messed up and much of it was her own poor choices. We are all sinners. We all need salvation and if you watch this and dont get it, You need to wake up. In Chris Rock’s immortal words from an award show long ago, RUN TO CHURCH!!!!🎉
I cried watching this movie also a lot😭 I know ax actually how she feels when she says come back to me❤ I wish somebody would rescue her. She never saw her dad🥺
Whoever edited this trailer is a genius. Brilliant and artistic.
@eternal rain He's definitely a genius (e.g. Jesse James), but I doubt that he - himself - edited the trailer. Anyway, the trailer is trailer art perfection...
That brief shot of Ana playing Marilyn in “Some Like it Hot” is incredible- she looks nearly identical to Marilyn. I don’t mind that you can hear her accent. I think she is probably going to pull off the most accurate depiction of Marilyn we have ever seen.
Yes I was most impressed by that. I have yet to see an actress actually move her eyes and mouth like Marilyn they always slap on a bad wig and think it works but Monroe had this unique seduction to her mixed with a childlike innocence that I think Ana will really capture.
That’s my scene so far
The accent is awful and totally ruins this movie.
@@jacquelinem8028 I didn't notice it that much at all. Marilyn did have an accent herself!
Yeah but this is not a biopic, this is a fictional story based on a book with the same title
I'm annoyed at how good they made this movie look...
I like this film that portrays her life as if we were getting into the problems in her head, what she felt inside. And at that time the film industry was much worse than it is today, This film shows everything she went through because of fame. And your life not everything was rosy.
Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Princess Diana...some of the kindest, most inspiring celebrities out there led truly saddening lives, and nobody really realized until after they died.
people knew. They just didn't have the internet to spread the stories to the entire world in seconds.
Please remember that this film is based on a FICTITIOUS book based on Marilyn's life - not an official biography. A FICTITIOUS BOOK. So this is a FICTITIOUS film based on a FICTIOUS story. This is important to know because many people will believe that this film is true, when it is not at all.
shut up
YES!
Thank you for saying this. So many on Twitter believe this is gonna be the hands down, number one Marilyn movie that’s going to be truthful
I hope they add a director's note somewhere in the movie.
I mean if somebody doesn't pick up on the "based on a NOVEL by Joyce Carol Oates" written in giant letters in this trailer...
You know Ana de Armas is gonna knock this out of the park.
This may be the first black and white featured film that I am actually looking forward to see
Ana’s accent comes out a little bit and I’m usually very “demanding” when it comes to this kind of things, but honestly she’s so powerful. On an emotional level, she’s GIVING. She’s definitely gonna crush this role, and also this trailer looks great.
"Ana’s accent comes out a little bit ." A little bit? I had to look up where Marilyn Monroe was born even though I've always known her to be American. That's how much Ana's accent sounded to me She's a good actress, but If other actors and actresses can fake an American accent, she should be able to as well.
@@ChuckWasHere Well I’m Italian and I’ve had to bear shitty Italian accents from american actors my entire life, of course she doesn’t sound American as she should, but I think she sounds and looks so emotionally powerful is these clips, that she’s probably gonna be a great Marylin anyway. Many american actresses approached Marylin and they probably didn’t come close to her as Ana seems to have done in this trailer alone. Let’s give her a chance :)
@@ChuckWasHere Ana didn’t even speak English when she first started in Hollywood. So for someone who hasn’t know the language for that long I think expecting them to completely obliterate their native accent is ridiculous. She worked with a dialect coach for a year for this movie. I think we can all look past a little accent.
@@laurelmalinowski1676 Also, speaking with an american accent means that you actually need to learn to use facial muscles in a completely different way, people underestimate how hard it is for non-native speakers to learn an american or english accent.
@@laurelmalinowski1676 they're not expecting her to speak like an American citizen but they expect a good casting. She shouldn't have been chosen if she doesn't sound like Marilyn. Period.
I don't care what people are saying about Ana's accent coming through. This looks fantastic and Ana is quite possibly the only actress in Hollywood who can look this similar to Marilyn. She's our Cuban Marilyn, can't wait to watch!
Her mom was from Coahuila, Mexico. Marilyn Monroe, can speak Spanish fluently and her home was known to be decorated with Mexican furniture and paintings of Mexican art. She never forget her roots.
our Evelyn Hugo :)))
Marilyn was WHITE and so is Ana. Both are CAUCASIAN.
@@CindyCuevas Marilyn's mother was born in Mexico but not to Mexican parents, it was just a matter of location, not ancestry - Marilyn's maternal grandparents were Otis Elmer Monroe and Della Mae Hogan from the midwest. Neither she nor her family is Latino.
@@SydneyChandler Aw no way I had no idea! ty!
I hope Ana de Armas is nominated for an Oscar for her stunning portrayal of Marilyn Monroe. Loved, loved, loved her in this movie!❤
If you cant do the accents, you dont deserve an Oscar. You just dont deserve an Oscar for a half arsed attempt
@@Smokeyd187 what do you mean? She sounded perfectly fine.
She won't get nominated for an Oscar anyway; this was not released in the cinemas.
Everyone is saying oh she messed up because of her accent but y’all wasn’t being mad when everyone played Elvis for the a thousandth time and that guy played Biggie in Notorious, Was you? At least wait until the movie comes out and see if the shit is even good or not before you criticize it good god man!
The cinematography/editing looks AMAZING. I think, much like Spencer, this will be polarizing. Those wanting a straightforward biopic like Judy that plays it safe are going to hate it. But those looking for something more impressionistic and artistic and unique while maybe taking some liberties with the true story will love it. I absolutely can't wait, and for the record I think Spencer is one of the most harrowing horror films I've ever seen (that's not in the horror genre). And I'm assuming the scene where she goes in that man's office is going to be what gave it the NC17 rating.
I agree not only is it with Spencer but also other anti-biopic films like I’m not there, Marie Antoinette, citizen Kane, la vie en rose and the favourite films that follow real life people but execute them entirely differently than typical biopic to convey the actual depth and complexity of that real life public figures’ life and career
agree, but i was specting more from Ana's acting work.... i think is not enough
It was quietly acknowledged a little bit ago that the NC-17 rating is coming from a graphic rape scene.
I think Spencer was trash. No story at all.
I'll save my judgements for when the movie comes out, but for now the movie looks 😴 boring
I am so excited to see Ana de Armas getting such good roles. She’s gonna smash this out of the park! First time I saw her was watching “Knock Knock” & I thought she was ridiculously stunning as well as in incredibly talented. BUT… I hope she’s taking notes from this role because I would never want Ana to go through the downward spiral of fame & fortune that consumed Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe worked from 1945-1962 (17 years) and Ana de Armas has been working since 2006 (16 years)... Marilyn lived to 36, and Ana is 34... so... fingers crossed I guess!
Don't worry not every generation gets its own Marilyn or Britney

Watched the movie last night. Ana de Armas was phenomenal. I believe she truly captured/embodied the essence of Marilyn Monroe....
After some time away from this film im beginning to understand what the director was trying to convey. Even when talking about Marilyn in interviews. Hes showcasing just how cruel the world was to someone as "beloved" as Marylin. We say we love Marilyn (Norma) but we endlessly consume the parts of her she hated the most. We know Marilyn before we know Norma.Norma died, but Marilyn's the diamond, shell never grow old shell never have wrinkles, shes immortal. Norma, the part of her that had to pay for all the things Marilyn brought upon her, was nothing more than a vessel, for an immortal and unstoppable force . But while she was alive she suffered at it's hands so much
Ana is such an amazing actress. I remember seeing her back in 2010 at the Spanish embassy in Cuba. She is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, very very gorgeous. I’ve never been excited for any Marilyn movie because I feel like none of them have serve justice to such a legendary woman, but this one does look like it will show us that side of Marilyn the media didn’t show us. Im really excited!
I thought Michelle Williams’ portrayal was excellent. It gave me chills.
She’s beautiful but jealous women won’t agree
No she’s not. Don’t be silly 😂
@@yourfreezer.8746 Idk man, sure we'd all love to be beautiful but it's hard to be jealous of Marilyn Monroe given what little I know about her life. Then again, I've never been a terribly jealous chick or wanted to be famous so I'm sure you're right in many cases.
@@monarene44 agreed!
On the first pandemic, I spend one month connecting with Marilyn’s story and her struggles. I related a lot on the distance between her persona and who she really was. I am so pleasantly surprised to see another movie that tells her struggle as a sensitive woman of great feminine power in a men’s word.
ya, I hate men
Well said. I totally agree with you.
feminine power in a men's word or in a men's world ?
So true Vera, and Ana de Armas does a stellar job I can’t wait to see the whole movie.
“Feminine power” isn’t sleeping with celebrities and politicians. Monica Lewinsky got shamed for what Marilyn did to get/stay famous . It’s no deeper than rated R hannah Montana
I saw this Last Night... It's like Watching a Car Accident that you just can't look away from!
What a performance, and what a film . Poor old Norma.
This looks great and I'm excited to see it, but everyone should keep in mind that it is based off a FICTIONAL book. I'm scared people will go into it thinking this is an accurate depiction of her life. We can enjoy it for what it is and not treat it as factual
