Blonde is not a movie about Marilyn Monroe. It shouldn't be viewed as a movie about Marilyn Monroe, but as its own story. This movie reminds me the most of the Joker (2019). Both characters are incredibly similar. They are raised by single and mentally ill mothers who they love and try to help, but can not. Norma and Arthur are sad people unable to function in the world without love which they can not find. They need personas and masks to keep them from crumbling. Both movies consist of characters looking for their father-savior, be it the real one or a substitute, but are hit by disappointment after disappointment until they snap.
Like the Joker, Blonde is at the same time preachy and without a message, except to love your fellow human being without judgment.
I would invite you to not prejudge Blonde. Ignore the controversy, historical accuracy, nudity, famous names, your own moral standards and just experiences as what it is: Hard journey of a character you should be glad you are not.
