I don’t think I would describe her as a role model, but I also wouldn’t trust Blonde to be anywhere near historically and factually accurate.
She was just a beautiful woman taken advantage by her industry and the time period and many men in her life. She was complex and smart and talented, yet is often reduced to a sex symbol. Her life was quite sad.

I thought the movie would make fun of people being against interacial dating when it sort of dances around the border of "they have their reasons" and "it can still work"

I think we need to just let this movie die.

How could a dead person be a role model in 2023?
If you asking if she WAS a role model when she was alive, ask your grand parents
The movie is based on a novel AKA not real it wasn't an autobiography
Do you have an actual movie related question?

That’s fair. As I mentioned, I don’t know much.
That being said, is she still worthy of a “role model”?

Well I meant controversial as in people liked it or didn’t — and judging by your response I guess that’s true.
I personally liked it a lot, and felt it wrapped up the movie celebrating cinema as it was doing throughout the film, but I can understand your opinion on it.

>I have lived in places where the theater was pristine, the screens were enormous, luxury seating, tickets were cheap, and you were the only person in the place.
Whe are these places?

Syndrome from The Incredibles might be the best example of this. Grows up to be a supervillain just because Mr. Incredible blew him off and tried saving him from a bomb.

Did you notice this movie featured sponsorship from the FedEx company?
No denigration of the subject movie is present in this comment.

Yeah, maybe don’t say things you have no idea about because that’s just not true.

> In Knives out, Rian Johnson intentionally wrote in the baseball as a metaphorical representation for the karmic retrobution of the character. The act of throwing the baseball comes full circle as part of the plot and mirrors the main theme of the story.
Wait what

Masters of the Universe had one where Not Skeletor popped out of the lava. For comic book properties, X-Men 3 had Charles Xavier wake up in a coma patient.

I think Marilyn is more of a fashion/style icon than a role model. I was obsessed with her as a teenager, but it was only about the aesthetic.
I don’t really understand your last sentence at all though, OP. Can you clarify?

I can totally understand the fashion aspect.
I do however remember girls in high school, and even adult women today, who looked up to her.
Just curious if there was more that’s she’s done.
