Blonde director defends film from claims it exploited Marilyn Monroe | JOE.ie

The director went on to say that the idea the movie exploited Monroe is"kind of strange" because she is deceased.

"The movie doesn't make any difference in one way or another. What they really mean is that the film exploited their memory of her, their image of her, which is fair enough," he explained. "But that's the whole idea of the movie. It's trying to take the iconography of her life and put it into service of something else, it's trying to take things that you're familiar with, and turning the meaning inside out. But that's what they don't want to see."Among the scenes that garnered backlash was one which depicted Marilyn Monroe's unborn baby begging her not to go through with an abortion.
