Why oh why

Warning: Spoilers
I have been waiting to see this film and despite having my doubts about Ana a Cuban actress playing the iconic Marilyn I must say she did well. However Marilyn was known for her famous curves and despite the padding you can see they have tried to add curves and failed. If Ana really wanted to depict this icon then she should have done was other actresses have in the past like Charlize, in Monster, Renee in Bridget Jones and become the icon that Marilyn was.

Anyways I am just over an hour through it's my 4th or 5th attempt now and I feel sick.

This is fiction which really annoyed me. Marilyn's mum didn't try and drown her, then we see her raped over and over again, the threesome never happened that was just garbage and seeing the abortion scene was sickening. It went too far. I don't want to see the scene of JFK apparently forcing himself on her again there was never any proof of this and two try and destroy all these reputations is beyond belief. Allow the dead to Rest In Peace. This film was a huge let down. If you are going to make a film about Marilyn at least make it true, and cast an actress with curves someone like Bryce Dallas Howard would have been ideal. Oh and Kim K wearing Marilyn's dress.. the poor woman would be turning in her grave.
