Their opinions diverge, however, on whether that\u2019s a good or a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Some reviewers claim the movie is too dark, focusing too much on the tragedy of Norma Jean Baker to the point of exploiting her misery. Others find this type of storytelling honest. But one aspect that most leftist reviewers are cringing over is the way \u201cBlonde\u201d deals with abortion and miscarriage. Filmmaker Andrew Dominik is accused of humanizing Monroe\u2019s unborn children and of indirectly attributing her depression to losing them and never becoming a mother.<\/p>\n<p>The writer-director spent more than a decade working on the three hour film, which is based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel of the same name. Cuban actress Ana de Armas has been praised for her performance despite the overall criticism of the movie.<\/p>\n<p>At first, the project made headlines for getting an NC-17 rating. But then some of the more controversial scenes included Monroe\u2019s unborn baby communicating with her. As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/liberal-critics-furious-over-talking-baby-abortion-scene-in-marilyn-monroe-biopic-blonde\">reported<\/a>, one scene shows her pregnant womb glowing in an ethereal light with a clear image of the unborn child.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the violence of a forced abortion in a scene where de Armas, as Monroe, screams, \u201cPlease, won\u2019t you listen? I\u2019ve changed my mind!\u201d as a doctor inserts the speculum from the point of view of her cervix.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Monroe is pregnant again when her unborn child begins talking to her, asking why she killed the baby last time and asking her not to do it again. She doesn\u2019t, but instead miscarries in a bloody scene. Abortion is depicted as a gruesome affair that often leads to regret. That\u2019s not how the pro-abortion activists want anyone to think about what they insist is a \u201charmless\u201d medical procedure.<\/p>\n<p>An IndieWire reviewer hated how abortion is portrayed in the film. \u201c\u2018Blonde\u2019 is a horrific, tone-deaf reminder of why a female perspective should be included, or at least asked for, when writing about abortion,\u201d the reviewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2022\/09\/blonde-ana-de-armas-marilyn-monroe-abortion-rights-1234763103\/amp\/\">shared<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026the real trigger warning is for a trio of CGI fetuses asking why Monroe murdered them,\u201d they continued, taking issue with how the movie humanizes the unborn children.<\/p>\n<p>The reviewer describes how even though Monroe \u201cwanted nothing more than to be a parent,\u201d she fears it due to her tough childhood. So she decides to go through with an abortion but sees signs while traveling to the appointment indicating she\u2019s making the wrong choice. Then after changing her mind, she\u2019s forced to go through with the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The driver doesn\u2019t turn around or even flinch when she starts screaming. Her screams echo through the halls of a hospital as her feet are forced onto stirrups, and the camera follows a DNC tube gliding through her vaginal walls,\u201d the reviewer writes. \u201cThe audience is trapped watching this sequence, much like Monroe is held down on the table by the aforementioned tube, and it\u2019s clear Dominik\u2019s comments on offensive content are not about sexual assault but rather surgical assault on the \u2018Some Like It Hot\u2019 star.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the second abortion scene, it\u2019s implied that Monroe gets pregnant by president John F. Kennedy and is forced into the procedure again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis goons kidnap and drug Monroe in the middle of the night; she is convinced the procedure is a horrible dream, but as she wakes up covered in blood smeared all over her abdomen, it\u2019s clear the nightmare is only just beginning,\u201d the reviewer writes. \u201cThere would never be that much blood afterward, but that\u2019s not the point: Dominik is determined to shock and disgust, but at what cost?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Independent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/films\/features\/blonde-marilyn-monroe-inside-vagina-scene-b2172446.html\">described<\/a> the talking unborn baby as, \u201cone of the film\u2019s most disturbing bodily sequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A reviewer from The Daily Beast agrees with that assessment, \u201cLest we want to champion the tortured actress for invoking her right to choose, \u2018Blonde\u2019 forces us to see a harsh metal device scrunch its way inward and toward a fetus, terminating it,\u201d they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/obsessed\/the-marilyn-monroe-blonde-biopic-cgi-talking-fetus-in-is-an-abomination\">shared<\/a>. \u201cThe movie clearly\u2014and, obviously, controversially\u2014wants us to believe that the fetus is very much alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he was pushing a particular viewpoint on abortion, Dominik said he was just trying to represent Monroe\u2019s life as it really was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing I can do about that,\u201d the film director told The Sydney Morning Herald when asked if he regretted how \u201cBlonde\u201d dealt with abortion in light of Roe v. Wade\u2019s reversal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf people are looking at \u2018Blonde\u2019 as having a position on abortion, it does have a position and its position is that, if you\u2019re an unwanted child, pregnancy is going to be deeply ambivalent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s something in it to offend everyone,\u201d the director promised during an interview with The Guardian.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Monroe\u2019s abortions are nothing more than rumors. The procedure was illegal at the time she reportedly had them and no one knows for sure if she<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Critics agree the newest Marilyn Monroe biopic is like nothing that came before it.
