When Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas played the role of Norma Jeane Mortenson (aka Marilyn Monroe), she knew it was a huge responsibility. Netflix’s controversial NC-17 rated film Blond presents a deeper meaning behind the story by Blonde Bombshell that we all recognize on screen as we learn about the inner demons she faced. Of Arms and the crew of the Blond they knew they would feel better about accepting the project if they asked Marilyn Monroe for permission to tell her story.
The starting material of Blond comes from Joyce Carol Oates’ historical fiction film on Some like it hot actress with a detailed account of what the iconic actress went through when the spotlight wasn’t on her. Monroe’s untimely death occurred in 1962 from a mysterious overdose and in an interview with another review arms reveal her and her Blond The crew visited Westwood Village Memorial Park, where the Hollywood star is buried before filming began.
We received this fantastic card and all team members wrote him a message. Then we went to the cemetery and put it in his grave. We were asking for permission one way or another. Everyone felt a great responsibility and we were very aware of the side of the story we were going to tell: the story of Norma Jeane, the person behind this character, Marilyn Monroe. Who was he really?
Norma Jeane Mortenson is the product of a traumatic childhood, moving from one foster family to another due to her mother’s mental health problems. She also didn’t know her father or who she was. Marilyn Monroe was an alter ego that Hollywood created for her and that everyone has seen. But as de Armas said in her interview, the heart of the film was the search for her absent father and she hoped everyone would find her.
Before seeing the film, it is important for the audience to keep in mind what they see Blond This is not a 100% accurate portrait of Marilyn Monroe. The 34-year-old actress said so Blond Marilyn Monroe’s inner turmoil is fiction without evidence. While other mainstream biopic films point to the actress’s chronological dates and milestones, this film offers a representation of what may have gone through the pop culture icon’s head.
Ana de Armas made sure to do her homework when she played Norma Jeane Mortenson and felt like her character stayed with her the entire time. She had moments of insecurity that prepare for the role in terms of voice, accent, choreography and work with American actors who knew Marilyn Monroe. She never thought she would touch the Gentlemen prefer blondes actress like the Cuban actors she grew up with and admired, including Daisy Granados, Isabel Santos and Verónica Lynn. But she accepted the role of Marilyn Monroe because she loved challenges and she felt she had the emotional range to connect with her role.
De Armas spent months working with a dialogue teacher to perfect the way Monroe sounded and her facial expressions when she spoke. This critically acclaimed actress also discovered a 750-page Bible of Monroe photographs that documents all the emotions director Andrew Dominik wanted to capture. To perfectly capture Marilyn Monroe’s presence, de Armas watched her films hundreds of times to recreate her performances from her iconic films. She also had a hard time disconnecting from Blonde Bombshell in her dreams of her or even washing the dishes. One more reason why this new role will remain memorable there is no time to die actress no matter how many years later.
While people who hadn’t even seen the movie got their share Backlash on the casting choice of Marilyn Monroe , critics couldn’t help but praise Ana de Armas . They would say he did a great job imitating Monroe’s “breathless talking style” and being able to show the wounds inflicted on her through her voice. During its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival, Andrew Dominik’s historical drama received a fourteen-minute standing ovation. I hope that, Blond will give audiences a glimpse into what might have gone through the mind of a 1950s Hollywood actress we all thought we knew.
