The author of the book of the same name as the upcoming Netflix movie Blonde praises the film and double approves it.

NC-17 Rated Marilyn Monroe Biopic ‘Blonde’ Wins Big Thumbs Up for Ana de Armas and Andrew Dominik by Author Joyce Carol Oates

When Netflix announced that there will be a biopic on the legendary actress,
singer, and model Marilyn Monroe, the viewers got excited. Marilyn Monroe was
famous for playing comedic “blonde bombshell” characters. But she became a sex
symbol in the 1950s and early 1960s. The film about her life Blonde will be out
on 23 September 2022 on Netflix. Based on a novel, Ana de Armas is the star of
an upcoming movie. Because the movie explicitly exposes adultery in the movie,
it got an NC-17 rating from the censor board. This is the first movie on Netflix
to have gotten this rating.

Joyce Carol Oates is the author of the novel of the same name as the movie. “I
never really felt that I wanted to write about myself. I am much more interested
in others,” says Oates in a recent discussion
[https://variety.com/2022/film/global/blonde-joyce-carol-oates-andrew-dominik-ana-de-armas-1235313127/].
Her interest in others’ stories and her skills to describe them with so much
appeal gave us the story of Marilyn Monroe. The author has her own opinion about
the movie.

Blonde has an intriguing story to tell. It is the story of a woman trying to
make an identity while losing the original one. The flick exposes the story of
Marilyn Monroe. In the novel, the author has portrayed the story of the
desperate life of Norma Jeane Baker. Norma performs as Marilyn Monroe while
forgetting herself.

Before streaming worldwide, Oates has seen the film at Venice Film Festival.
During a discussion at the 21st Neuchâtel Intl. Fantastic Film Festival, she
talks about it and approves the movie. She appreciates the creativity and honest
work of the director, Andrew Dominik. She says that he is a brilliant director,
and he has successfully displayed the experiences of Norma from her perspective.
Oates likes the fact that Andrew didn’t show it from an outsider’s view as “the
male gaze looking at a woman. He immersed himself in her perspective,” said the
author.

The teaser
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ana-de-armas-netflixs-blonde-teaser-trailer-touches-upon-this-aspect-of-marilyn-monroes-life/]
of the movie has Norma sitting in front of the mirror. She is waiting for
Marilyn to emerge. “Transforming into Marilyn always took her hours,” informs
Oates. Ana de Armas, the actor who portrays Marilyn, has done an amazing job. It
took almost four hours for the actor’s makeup. The author is breaking the
illusion of the made-up identity here and says, “So, when you see them on
screen, they don’t really exist.” She says that there is just a fantastic image
that is there to make a livelihood only.

Both the director and the actor got appreciation and respect from the author
herself. Oates appreciates how the movie honestly and authentically represents
the life of a woman who tried to live her life and do something. Are you also
curious to find out how the movie turns out to be?
