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.

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?

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 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?
