Vigilant Citizen — March 2, 2023

Most reviews of Blonde describe the movie as a long, difficult, and miserable experience. Deemed unnecessarily cruel and dehumanizing by many, the hate towards the Blonde culminated in two Razzie awards nominations: Worst Picture and Worst Director.

Interestingly enough, Blonde might also win an Oscar. Indeed, Ana de Armas (who plays the role of Marilyn) was nominated for Best Actress. This leads us to a profound existential question: Can an actress be exceptionally good in a movie that is exceptionally bad?

Well, for many, good acting equals lots of crying. If that’s the case, then throw the Oscar right at Ana de Armas because she cries in nearly every scene of the movie. It is honestly overwhelming.

Not only is this excessive crying exhausting to watch but it genuinely gets one concerned about the toll of this role on the actress herself. It is at this point that one realizes that there’s also something “off” about Blonde: It is not a biographical movie, it is torture porn. It is not about Marilyn Monroe’s life, it is about watching Ana de Armas suffer through trauma, turning the movie’s viewers into some kind of sadistic voyeurs.

While the offputting disposition of this movie caused it to accumulate terrible reviews, it does accurately reflect Hollywood’s bizarre, perverted, and obsessive relationship with Marilyn Monroe.

Because Monroe has a special status to the Hollywood elite: She is the ultimate industry slave prototype, the precursor of the modern industry slave. And Blonde was all about Ana de Armas becoming yet another celebrity undergoing “Marilyn Monroe programming”.
