Joyce Carol Oates weighs in on the brutality in Blonde adaptation: 'Not for the faint of heart'
Oates mentions multiple times that she “didn’t have anything to do with” the making of the film, though “once in a while, Andrew would get in contact with” her. By the time she was given an “almost-final cut,” she says, “I had to stop watching about midway through. The film is emotionally exhausting.”
“It’s almost three hours long. I had to stop watching it, go away for a couple of hours, and come back. It’s demanding of the viewer,” she admits of thestarring vehicle. “The last quarter is very hallucinatory. Marilyn Monroe is addicted to barbiturates, and she’s suicidal; she’s losing her mind. She descends into a surreal world, one that is astonishingly vivid, and you almost feel thatlosing your mind.
, the writer didn’t “have any particular feelings,” but claims, “The real things that happened to Marilyn Monroe are much worse than anything in the movie.” Monroe isn’t here to dispute that account, but the novelist’s and filmmaker’s decisions to portray her life as unending misery will live forever.
