The Beach Bum (2019)

Dumbest fucking movie ever created, kinda good though. Very Harmony Korine movie.

C'mon C'mon (2021)

This is a good movie, objectively it achieves what it sets out to do and does so quite nicely and poetically, but I did not get into this movie that much. Mostly because it revolves around children which to me isn’t interesting.

This movie also includes “interviews” from random children who are not involved in the plot, and those are really annoying. They don’t provide anything to the movie and the writing is just terrible, it physically pulls you onto of the movie multiple times.

This movie will resonate with some people, same as 20th Century Women from the same director did with me.

Blonde (2022)

This movie is quite decisive so it’ll be interesting.

I’ll go out with what I think everyone agrees on. Ana de Armas is probably the best thing in this movie, she looks like Monroe and her acting was supreme, nothing but praise here. Cinematography was also quite nice if weird, I can’t say I enjoyed the aspect ratio switches and don’t think they worked as expected but overall it was nice to watch and some scenes were interesting, and now we go the story.

I think the hate for this movie mostly came from the way it was marketed, it was the Monroe movie. I don’t think that was the intended case, the main story is about Monroe but it’s not about Monroe.

Which is confusing but the best way I can describe is this. Take the movie “Spencer” and “The King of Comedy”. Spencer is purely about Diana, you can’t replace the character with another one, so in that way it is a artistic biopic, meanwhile King of Comedy is about a fan and a popstar. You can replace either of those with anyone and the movie still works. I think Blonde fits right in the middle of these movies.

Replacing Monroe with some sex symbol from x time period that had a lot of trauma would produce the same movie as here. This is why when watching I though of it more as a horror/picture of exploitation in movie industry, and not a artistic biopic. And considering it as just a horror movie it’s actually quite okay.

Key word okay, it doesn’t go very in depth and just skips over the affects of the trauma, which makes it quite shallow, and it’s way too fucking long. Three hours for this movie is a joke and it should have been cut to two hours max.

Kate (2021)

Did I watch this because of Mary Elizabeth Winstead? Yes and I am not ashamed.
