Friday Movie Recommendations #4 (Blonde // Marilyn Monroe)
Sep 30, 2022•19 min
Episode description
What is the best way to tackle a biopic? Is there an obligation to be factual and true, or should the filmmakers get a little more wiggle room to explore themes and ideas within the framework of telling someone's life story? I've grown extremely tired of movies literally just playing the hits from someone's life (mostly done for musicians or bands). The new Netflix movie based on the fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe certainly pushes boundaries and asks these questions, but if this is the end result I'm not sure this is what I would want either.
