Blonde

The biopic concludes tragically with Marilyn Monroe’s death by overdose in 1962 at age 36 after years of exploitation and trauma in Hollywood. The ending implies Marilyn never escaped the objectification and abuses of the movie industry that commodified her into a blonde bombshell icon. Haunted by her unstable childhood and unable to have children, Marilyn descended into addiction and isolation despite her fame. The finale depicts her last hours desperately reaching out for connection, but only her stuffed animals provide comfort as she succumbs to the drugs meant to numb her pain. The heartbreaking conclusion conveys the immense toll of stardom on Marilyn’s psyche, robbing her of agency and fulfillment as she remained trapped playing a character created by the studios. The film suggests she died searching for the love and stability denied to her all her life as an icon more than a person. Even at the height of her celebrity, Marilyn died tragically alone, a cautionary tale of the costs of exploitation. Her talent and humanity get lost beneath her sexualized public image that led to such loneliness and despair. The ending mourns the real Marilyn extinguished behind the “Blonde” facade the world demanded from her.
