so is the presupposition for most of the submissions so far that one must have no working knowledge of movies? if so, then for me it would be the wizard of oz.

I watched more movies when Netflix mailed you DVDs.
They had almost everything somewhat mainstream , you didn’t have to go around looking for what was on what service. I set aside a time to watch instead of always having it there and “I will watch later” sets in.
I’ve seen a few movies on HBO but my movie watching is way down.

It's objectively not her accent. It's not usually a problem and I don't care about accents, but in this case Monroe's voice kinda stands out as part of her persona, so it feels off to me.

I think that's actually the point of the movie, judging by the trailer. The woman herself is playing the Marilyn Monroe character, and nobody actually saw who she really was behind the curtain.

Something tells me Marilyn Monroe wasn't secretly Ana De Armas underneath.

I guess I just don’t know or care much about Marilyn Monroe or the actress playing her which is why it doesn’t matter to me.

I didn’t know there were so many Monroe heads on the board.
