I am very skeptical she will be able to do Marylin Monroe's voice and from the little she talks in the beginning of the trailer, I can still hear Ana de Armis's accent. She has the look down though.

While I'm aware of what they're tyring to do, that's a horrible title card.

I'm interested in the film. I'm a fan of Monroe and I liked Dominic's last film. My comment was solely about the font used for the title.

I love Ana de Armas…and she’s the only reason I’d watch this…but I’ve never heard her speak without her accent.

I don't feel like we need another Monroe bio, even with the NC-17 angle. What more can there be to know about her? How much more "truthful" will this one be than any other? She's been dead for fifty years, let the poor woman rest.
On the plus side, it looks pretty if the trailer is any indication...

That movie only focuses on one week of her life, so there is a lot I don't know about. The only other bio I know about is the TV movie Norma Jean and Marilyn.

Well, there's been any number of authorized and unauthorized books on the subject, not to mention the Kennedy conspiracy theory bullsh*t about her death. Numerous documentaries and thousands of cheap reference jokes about her. But, in addition to the two you've mentioned, there's the exploitation tabloid biopic, Goodbye, Norma Jean, and its sequel Goodbye, Sweet Marilyn, her fictional meeting with Einstein is the subject of Insignificance, there's a 2001 TV bio also entitled Blonde and also based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel, a 1991 TV movie called Marilyn and Me, Marilyn: The Untold Story, The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, that Smash show, and apparently a reality show entitled The Starlet about a bunch of actresses staying in a house she once owned. |

Insignificance I have seen. If you have seen all those other movies, then of course this movie will be redundant. Though this movie will be better made than the rest. I am mostly interested because I am a fan of Andrew Dominick. There is also a ton of movies about Jesse James, but he made the best one imo.

I guess my larger issue is I just don't see how there's all that much that's new you could do with the material. |

There probably isn't much new you could do with the material, but for people who haven't seen any other movies about her it will all be new. It is supposedly a fictionalized verion of her life though that touches on themes that are prominent in society at the moment. That sounds like what he is going for based on what I have read about the movie.

I'm a little surprised Nicole Kidman isn't playing her to be honest.

BLONDE is about how Marilyn Monroe's sex symbol status caused people (mostly men) to not take her seriously as an actress or even as a person... but hey, you don't need me to tell you that. The movie makes that very clear early on, but for some reason, it constantly goes back to that point. The situations are different, but the context is the same. However, the repetitiveness and the shallow approach to this real-life figure don't overshadow Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody and Xavier Samuel's performances. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' music score is good, but the song selections are jarring. I understand that some of them are happy and upbeat as a contrast to the tragedy happening on the screen, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do that. There are times where Andrew Dominik's directing choices feel inspired and creative, and also times where they feel pretentious and distracting. There are times where the dialogue he wrote is dramatically entertaining, and also times where it's unintentionally funny. Many people thought that the scenes where Marilyn imagines the fetus she's carrying were anti-abortion propaganda. I couldn't see it from that point of view... because I was too concentrated on how silly it all looked! And when the fetus talked to her, I started laughing!
5/10

I feel like Jesse James did a little more of interest than have nice breasts and fuck a president.
