kinda pointless, not much new info (if any) is presented
One word: Heartbreaking. The stuff this woman must have been feeling leading up to her death is so sad. Having to put a mask on and pretend you're okay in front of the world....I can't even imagine how difficult that would have been.
There is definitely some worth in this investigation and it would be hypocritical of me to be bothered by its voyeuristic nature when I’ve watched so many other true crime documentaries before (with the major difference being that Marilyn was famous and those other subjects weren’t). However, I don’t think this film did justice to Marilyn. It was wildly reductive in the way they portrayed as a person - as fetishised and pitied as she’s always been by the public. There were tidbits that clearly showed that she was much more than the tortured sex symbol and that’s an alternative take on Marilyn that I would love to see further explored.
"We all need to get out of childhood in one piece but if nowhere along the line do you get that sort of reinforcement that you're worth love, you're lovable, that there's something in you, that we're a good person, what you end up with is a sort of emptiness".
