further proves likeness is more critical than anything in these types of films, half of Ana’s lines were ‘daddy’ and she wasn’t able to completely hide her accent but it was still a killer performance for me

Like I understand why someone would hate this but I f***ed with this even though it hardly focuses on her as person & blows through various life traumas, it’s a shallow surreal depiction, but still way more interesting than these wikipedia ass biopics

Thought it was okay. Pretty dull for all the artistry it tried to put in. Ana shined as best she could but it felt like a waste. Pretty weak case for NC-17 film too

I do feel like this is a great summation of how Marilyn is treated in pop culture anyways. She's already viewed more as a historical object than human, people dont really look much into her life or works, and we even had a major celebrity just this year show homage to her by squishing herself into an old dress, permanently damaging it, and getting excited by being gifted locs of her hair from a museum. This film and Dominik's recent interviews fit right into all of that perfectly.

Also important to remember this is a fictional story. This is NOT a biopic, most events in the film are NOT real and it WON'T give you any genuine insight into Marilyn.

It's an adaptation of a book that the author stresses is fiction. Definitely can understand how this works better in that format.

u mean she wasnt having threesomes in a movie theater?

had to pause during this whole throuple run to check to see if there was at least some reason they had it in

Apparently she did date both... but at very different times

Most of the criticism the movie gets is about the way in how it relates to the real Marilyn Monroe, not about the film itself

Great recent example is John C Reily in Winning Time

Dude looks just like Jerry Buss and it’s perfect

But the role almost went to Will Ferrall who looks a lot less like Jerry Buss but would have gave more to the role maybe. (Debatable)

Question answered

read what I said. spanish is seen as a ethnic language to most people so even though ana de armas is white she's looked at as ethnic because she speaks the language and has the accent.

In Knives Out they gave her an entire brown Mexican family just because she's latino lol

people are being harder on her for her accent because she's latino. It's the reason why Fassebender received less backlash for his thick german accent while playing Steve Jobs but people can't seem to get over Ana's Spanish accent.

This is painfully mediocre.

yeah this is exactly how I feel I think. just the deconstruction of someone and how they've basically crumbled under the limelight and how they wished they weren't in the position they were in

It's crazy to me that according to the wiki we just recently found out who her dad was in 2022 based off a DNA test.

Would cutting an hour out help?

same w Colin Firth in the staircase mini series looks nothing like the guy but kinda nails the likeness

It didn’t even feel long imo cus the pacing was fast which made the structure suck. None of her relationships was fleshed out or developed and s*** just seemed random af

“Oh I’m dating twins now, now I’m married to a guy I call daddy, now I’m wit this next guy”

My favorite shot/transition has to be the one where she is having the threesome then the bed turns into Niagara Falls. That was a trip

do the fire walk with me comparisons make any sense?

yeah that was nutty

This a classic or nah?

sucking d\*\*\*

like was it actually Ana doing it or a body double. Fake d\*\*\*?
