Find out whether the upcoming Ana de Armas movie about Hollywood diva Marilyn Monroe is a biopic or a fan fiction.

Fiction or Biopic? What Is the NC-17 Rated Marilyn Monroe Netflix Movie?

Netflix has again stirred up controversy with its next big release Blonde. The
movie is based on the life of the yesteryear Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe.
It traces the life of the tragic star as she becomes Hollywood’s biggest sex
symbol and her many linkups with famous men.



Monroe died under mysterious circumstances in 1962 and it still remains a hot
topic of discussion to this day. The Andrew Dominik movie isn’t the first
attempt to get a closer look at the diva, but it certainly is the first to be
mired in so many controversies before its release. 


ISN’T BLONDE ON NETFLIX A BIOPIC OF MARILYN MONROE? 

The movie is based on the best-selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates of the same
name. It is a fictional biography of the celebrity and is in no way an accurate
account of the star’s life. The Pulitzer-winning book is actually a
reimagination of Monroe’s life. Fans of the star are raising their concern about
Blonde on Netflix [http://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] arguing the point
that it’s fan fiction. Some are even refusing to watch it calling it trauma
p*rn. They insist that sexualizing Monroe after all these years is still an
issue.
