Andrew Dominic believes that people who shoot movies BlondeAbout actress Marilyn Monroe, he shouldn’t complain. The Netflix movie starring Ana de Armas has received a lot of criticism since its release in September, especially in the United States, because the movie would have given viewers a different image of the famous actress.
“They hate the movie,” the Australian director told The Hollywood Reporter to the American audience. “Now we live in a time when it’s important to portray women as strong and they wanted to reinvent Marilyn Monroe as a strong woman. That’s what they wanted to see. If you don’t show it, they’re mad about it,” says the director.

Dominic calls it “strange” that people would expect a different version of Monroe. ‘She is dead.’ The movie doesn’t change that at all. What matters to them is that the film destroys their memory and their image of it. I understand that, but that’s the whole idea of the movie,” says Dominic. He tries to misrepresent well-known things and bring out their meaning. But these are things people don’t want to see.
