Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly critiques the systemic exploitation and objectification of women within the patriarchal Hollywood system, portraying Marilyn Monroe as a victim of these forces. This focus on systemic critique and the dehumanization of women aligns strongly with progressive ideology.
The movie does not feature explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles in its casting. However, its narrative strongly critiques traditional male power structures, portraying male figures negatively and highlighting the exploitation of women, which is central to the film's themes.
Secondary
Blonde features a polyamorous relationship with queer undertones involving Marilyn Monroe and two men. However, this relationship is largely depicted as another source of exploitation and emotional suffering for Monroe, contributing to her tragic narrative rather than affirming queer identity or relationships. The portrayal is overwhelmingly negative.
The film portrays Christianity primarily through Norma Jeane's traumatic childhood, where her mentally ill mother's religious fervor is intertwined with abuse and delusion. This depiction associates the faith with suffering and confusion in the protagonist's life, without offering a counterbalancing positive narrative.
