Netflix users are being left particulary outraged by a \u201chorrifying\u201d scene in new Marilyn Monroe film blonde<\/em>.<\/p>\n The controversial new movie from director Andrew Dominik was adapted from Joyce Carol Oates’s fictional book about Monroe, which was released in 2001.<\/p>\n For some time now, the project, which stars Knives Out <\/em>actor Ana de Armas, has been hyped up as being a shocking watch, with the film being handed an NC-17 age certificate in the US.<\/p>\n For those in the UK, this is similar to an 18 \u2013 but American directors tend to try and edit their films in order to avoid the certificate as, when cinema releases are concerned, it typically equates to less money at the box office.<\/p>\n Many may believe blonde<\/em> to be a standard biopic about Monroe, but the opposite is true: due to the source material, the film features several imagined scenes from the Hollywood star’s life, one of which is being accused of going too far.<\/p>\n It concerns John F Kennedy, the US president whom Monroe is believed to have had an affair with in the 1960s. Rumors of this affair remains unverified to this day \u2013 but blonde<\/em> goes one further. <\/p>\n In a scene near the end of the film, Monroe is shown to be drugged and taken to a character named \u201cthe president\u201d who bears a striking resemblance to JFK (the actor, Caspar Phillipson, previously played him in Jackie<\/em>).<\/p>\n Here, while he is on the phone refuting claims of sexual assault, he forces Monroe into performing a sex act on him, while a voiceover by de Armas shows Marilyn attempting to disassociate from the situation.<\/p>\n Some viewers who are not aware of the source material appear to believe this actually happened, despite there being no record of any such incident.<\/p>\n This is one of the reasons why the scene’s placement is being questioned, with many calling it \u201ccharacter assassination\u201d. Others are calling it \u201cexploitation\u201d of Monroe’s story.<\/p>\n
