Review of Blonde (2022) by Apope2016 — 30 Sep 2022
A captivating and towering work through the looking glass of the sad and depressing reflections of the life of Norma Jean. The incendiary reactions to the movie is at odds with its number 1 viewership on Netflix and its nearly 60% audience rating on google.
It appears the critics have trashed the movie because they desire to see the fake and happy vision of Norma Jean portrayed in the movies. Perhaps, a true reflection deep into the mind of Norma Jean would find society disliking of the dark abyss that recedes deep into the mind of a woman tormented by mental illness.
I would challenge detractors to explain what would make this movie so bad? Is it because of bad acting? The answer would be no. Even the harshest critics would say it is not a bad acted movie. Is it because of story? Well, I suppose a story that is bad would be hard to understand or boring to watch.
None of this is true of ‘Blonde’. What we are left with then (from detractors) is a movie that is well acted, well produced, with a captivating and gripping story. What makes it "bad" is the never ending saga of torment and sadness.
What critics hate about this movie is not how the movie is "made" but the unrelenting mind behind it… the mind of a women who was so tortured by her experiences that she took her own life.
The critics could not stomach three hours of this saga… but just imagine Norma Jean living it every day of her entire life.
