The Marilyn Monroe biopic “Blonde” starring Ana de Armas has officially received a large-scale NC-17 rating (no viewing under 18), and the MPA’s reason for the rating is “some sexual content”.
“Blonde” also became Netflix’s first NC-17 original film.
There has been some controversy about the content and scale of the film before. It is rumored that Netflix hopes to have a lower level, such as R-level, which is more conducive to distribution.
Director Andrew Dominik clarified that: The film has always been planned to be made into NC-17 (it was not officially rated at the time), and Netflix has always supported this.
Dominik also said, “This is an NC-17 film about Marilyn Monroe, and that’s what you want to see, right? I wanted to see an NC-17 version of the Marilyn Monroe story. … the film asked for Pretty high, if the audience doesn’t like it, then it’s their problem, and it’s not a run for office.”
He also revealed that the film has a critical attitude towards those recognized “unscrupulous things” in the United States, and that the Metoo movement could make this film: “Because people have no interest in this kind of shit— —What it’s like to be a girl you don’t like, what it’s like to be run over by the meat grinder of Hollywood.”
