Ana de Armas has defended her depiction of Marilyn Monroe within the controversial Netflix<\/a> biopic, Blonde<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n The actress confronted her share of criticism when it got here to being forged within the position, however the film itself has been extensively panned by many critics. One of its extra beneficiant evaluations got here from NME<\/em><\/a>, which praised the movie for being \u201cless a Marilyn Monroe biopic, more an effective psychological horror\u201d.<\/p>\n Armas herself has now hit again at those that took up swords towards the movie \u2013 and herself. Speaking to The<\/em> <\/a>Hollywood Reporter<\/a>,<\/em> the\u00a0Knives Out <\/em><\/a>actor stated the biopic was not purported to \u201cplease people\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, the reaction that gets the most attention is the one in the U.S., but that wasn\u2019t the whole experience,\u201d she stated in response to a query in regards to the movie\u2019s poor reception. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to hear these reactions, but you can always go back to what you experienced, and why you did it, and the reasons why you were attracted to the project.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cThat is not going to change. You have the director, and you have other actors that you can always talk to. As hard as it is to hear when people don\u2019t like your film, it is what it is. It was not a movie that was made to please people or to make people like it. It is a hard movie to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n Addressing the film and its terrible reception with critics and audiences alike, she stated: \u201cI don\u2019t assume the film speaks badly about her [Monroe] a bit. I believe it\u2019s the other. I believe it speaks badly in regards to the surroundings and the trade, and that\u2019s a tough capsule to swallow generally for different folks within the enterprise.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like the movie also makes the audience feel like participants. We contributed at the time, and we still contribute, in the exploitation of actors, people in the public eye. We, the audience, do this. And I feel like it\u2019s possible that some people have felt like [someone] pointed a finger at [them].\u201d<\/p>\n Blonde<\/em> presently has a critic rating of 42 per cent and an viewers rating of 32 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes<\/em><\/a>. De Armas\u2019 feedback above aren\u2019t the primary time the actress has defended the movie.<\/p>\n Just after its launch she responded to outrage over a few of the movie\u2019s express scenes<\/a>, insisting that she didn\u2019t really feel unsafe on set. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel exploited because I was in control. I made that decision,\u201d she stated. \u201cI knew what the movie was doing. I trusted my director. I felt like I was in a safe environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Ana](\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blonde-Ana-de-Armas-main.jpg\")
