The book Blonde was meant to be a FICTIONAL study of Marilyn Monroe's life. To other commentators: do not get hyped up over this movie being untrue. If you read the first few pages of the book; Joyce Carol Oates (the author) says that this is a PURELY FICTIONAL book and that if one wishes to know facts about Marilyn, they should consult biographical sources. This movie should not be taken so literally! It is simply an imagining by one woman about the mentality of a legend. I think it is a beautiful, fascinating film. Wonderful acting and far more interesting than any of the previous films. If you want a real story, do not consult this film as the author of Blonde herself says it is not Fact just pure imagining Fiction. If you focus on the overall,universal themes of this movie/novel you will see that it applies to every woman in our society at some time or another. That is why this book was written. It is about the vulnerability we all have and how we can be taken advantage of. It is about the destructive machine that was the 1950s "studio". Great work.
