Netflix: Blonde

Leave a comment

When i saw on Netlix that there would be a movie or Tv show about Marilyn, I was completely excited to watch, specially after I saw the actress that would portray her (In my most humble opinion, I thought they had chosen the right actress)

Well…. today i finally killed my curiosity and watched it, 2 hours and 47 minutes…. I wish i had not!

The movie was… absolutely disrespectful towards Marilyn…I right now staring at my laptop, trying to find words to continue this post (basically staring at my screen now)…..

I think that the only word that can come on my mind is…disrespectful! Not only towards Marilyn, but Ana herself as well!

If you are reading this and have not watched yet, I would tell you… don’t! The movie has a lot of unnecessary nudity and sex, they have basically turned Marilyn into a **** and they also had the guts to include a very unsettling and disgusting scene with JFK, I mean…. My God!

They could have done something so amazing and beautiful to Marilyn’s memory with Ana, she is absolutely fantastic, from her voice to how she got to in many scenes confuse me about if whether was her or Marilyn herself, but instead… they did what they did!

In life Marilyn was always sexualized, they wanted people to see her as just a sexy dumb blonde when in the reality she was so different!

I am still trying to find words, but they cannot be found otherwise I would be writing really heavy words and I don’t want to do this, so i am sorry about this post, but I wanted to vent and express how i feel after have watched this!

Hopefully someone decides to do a better movie about Marilyn, a movie that will talk about how her life was and who she really was rather than exploit her the way Hollywood did while she was alive and after she passed away, and hopefully they invite Ana again for that because this movie…. absolutely disrespectful.

Actors, Rudolph Valentino

RUDOLPH VALENTINO – IN STUNNING COLOUR

Leave a comment

In loving memory of #RudolphValentino today, who passed away on this day 96 years ago. ❤
After his death many of his films were reissued to help pay his estate. Many were reissued well into the 1930s (long after the demise of silent film). Several books were written including one by Rambova. Several songs including one by Acker entitled ‘There’s a new star in heaven tonight’ were written and best sellers.

Over the years a woman in black carrying a red rose has come to mourn at Valentino’s grave usually on the anniversary of his death. Several myths surround the woman though it seems the first woman in black was actually a publicity stunt cooked up by press agent Russel Birdwell in 1928. Several copycats have followed over the years.

Elvis Presley

“Elvis Presley – Can’t Help Falling In Love (’68 Comeback Special)”

It’s been 45 years today that Elvis has been gone but his legacy goes on.

I have watched the movie ❤

I had gone watched Jurassic World: Dominion and all it took was about 2 seconds of the intro of Elvis for me to know I would go back to the movie theater to watch and it was absolutely an unbelievable movie in so many aspects, now I am anxiously waiting for the release of the DVD.

I think the movie was in a good taste and the fact Priscilla and Lisa were part of it makes the movie even more respectful. I believe Elvis would have approved as well and felt satisfied with how things have gone.

Undoubtedly there will never be someone else like Elvis.

1837 to 1980 (Victorian Era/Hollywood)
