There's something about both trailer and the project that makes me uncomfortable, a little stomach sick. It feels voyeuristic and a little too glitzy. I think my biggest problem is that Im not sure what the purpose of this is. I can sorta tolerate those affirming biofics that hype up what an important figure elton john is and reintroduce audiences to their music or cinema, but Marilyn Monroe was essentially Hollywoods first pound of flesh. She had a crap life and I dont understand what the purpose is of digging up her corpse and have it prance around the screen so we can oogle at it and say "wowee ana de armas is a sexy MM!".
idk, I hope the film turns out to have some redeeming factor. I think about other films about tragic figures and they usually have some important historical event or story thats worth telling, I just dont see why we need another glamorous hollywood autopsy of a hollywood abuse victim. Is Hollywood gonna highlight the ills of hollywood in the ending credits with some forlorn " boy its a shame how she was treated" wiki copy pasta? gee thanks.
