Deemed unnecessarily cruel and dehumanizing by many, the hate towards the <em>Blonde<\/em> culminated in two Razzie awards nominations: Worst Picture and Worst Director.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, <em>Blonde<\/em> 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?<\/p>\n<p>Well, for many, good acting equals lots of crying. If that\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s also something \u201coff\u201d about <em>Blonde:<\/em> It is not a biographical movie, it is torture porn. It is not about Marilyn Monroe\u2019s life, it is about watching Ana de Armas suffer through trauma, turning the movie\u2019s viewers into some kind of sadistic voyeurs.<\/p>\n<p>While the offputting disposition of this movie caused it to accumulate terrible reviews, it does accurately reflect Hollywood\u2019s bizarre, perverted, and obsessive relationship with Marilyn Monroe.<\/p>\n<p>Because Monroe has a special status to the Hollywood elite: She is the ultimate industry slave prototype, the precursor of the modern industry slave.
