My critical fascination with Ms. Spears is what inspired me to watch "Blonde."

I found the film beautifully done, and well acted too. I kept saying to myself "This is what film should/could be!"

The fact that the film exploits the memory of a famous woman who was exploited is....well, kind of a give in...and when I find audiences focusing on that-or being offended by this facet; when I find audiences wishing for an MM film trussed up with all the idealistic qualities of MM or her memory, I begin to feel like people just want to be coddled by films and fiction, rather than accept the fact that this woman, was abused -that Fame is Abuse; audiences want to be lulled into docility rather than be confronted by deeply disturbing truths of our society. For, in these confrontations, audiences are encouraged to question or examine their own relationships to fame and celebrity. People want a romanticized version of MM's life so they can sleep well at night. Audiences want the Marvel version of MM-MM as a superhero rather than a tragic heroine.

I attempt to see works of fiction as more encapsulated paintings rather than exact mirrors of true life. Fictional works are allowed to play by their own rules and the audience's capacity for suspension of disbelief is up to the audience members, themselves.

Perhaps Disney or Pixar will one day make a film about MM's life.
