One of the most interesting films I recently seen was Blonde, a Netflix movie based on the life of the famous Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe. Well, it shows, it tells the story of her life in a very emotional and artistic way. I decided to watch Blonde because I’ve heard a lot of things about Marilyn Monroe and she was known as a beauty icon, but I didn’t know much about her real life and struggles. Also, it was really trending through social media, so that’s why I decided to watch him. Also, there was like a lot of… well, yeah. So that’s why I was curious to see her performance. Well, during the movie, I learned a lot about the darker side of Marilyn Monroe’s life. Well, it shows how difficult her childhood was growing up without stable family and the half that affected her family. The future relationships and how people treated him like a product, not then a real person. Well, this film really showed the real life and lonely and unhappy she was behind that glamorous image. Well, what made Blonde particularly interesting was the unique style of storytelling. Some scenes were really artistic and symbolic. Well, I found Blonde really powerful because it changed the way I see Marilyn Monroe. It reminded me that behind every celebrity or powerful woman, there is a human being with real feelings and challenges.
