The only reason I got around to finally watching "Blonde" was because it was panned by audiences, and because it was written and directed by Andrew Dominik, who directed "Chopper," which is a film that I really like. If you go back and you read articles from before "Blonde" came out, about "Blonde," they all say that it's going to be a Marilyn Monroe biopic, and it's also going to be Netflix's first NC 17 rated film, and will therefore be full of sexy simulated sexiness. FWAHHH. Sex! By its frosty reception I thought "Blonde" would be a sexploitation cash-in full of misogyny. Here, in this video, I am arguing that "Blonde" is actually a masterpiece, and is not unlike "Chopper" in what it is doing. And, like "Chopper," is easily misinterpreted as celebrating what it is, in fact, criticizing.
