‘Blonde’ Trailer: Watched By All, Seen By None

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Netflix has released a new official trailer for Blonde, starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe. Let’s take a look.

I’ll definitely be watching with an open mind. I’ve been hearing a lot about how Blonde, which is based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, is more fantasy than reality. The novel is apparently considered a fictionalized biography, heavily dramatizing certain elements from Monroe’s life (and making up some stories as well). I’m still interested, but I’ll definitely be fact-checking while watching.

Plot Synopsis:

Blonde explores the complicated life of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, from her volatile childhood as Norma Jeane through her rise to stardom and romantic entanglements in the Hollywood of the 1950s and early 1960s. The film will dramatize how her on-screen appearances are in stark contrast to the love issues, exploitation, abuse of power, and drug addiction she faced in her private life.

Blonde begins streaming on September 28, 2022 on Netflix.
