The official trailer for Blonde was released during the summer — a film based on a fiction novel by Joyce Carol Oates, and after 3 months the movie was officially released on Netflix on September 28th…and it is not what you think it is.

Today we are taking a closer look at the few great things about this film, and writer/director Andrew Dominik’s questionable decisions regarding the story of the film. I will be walking you through a side-by-side comparison of Marilyn Monroe’s life and this distasteful film about her life while discussing the consequences of presenting a fiction-based story about a very real and historic human being.

Cheers to the true Marilyn Monroe.
