| Feature | 2001 Planned Version | (For comparison: 2022 Version) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Rigidly faithful to Oates’s triptych: "The Child," "The Actress," "The Blonde." | Looser, more repetitive, dream-logic structure. | | Narration | Extensive voice-over from Norma Jeane’s inner consciousness. | Minimal voice-over; more visual and aural assault. | | The "Fetus" Scenes | Abstract, black-and-white sequences of a speaking fetus (as in novel). | Cut from final film. | | Kennedy Sequences | Played as paranoid, silent-film pastiche (no dialogue, only sound effects). | Graphic, naturalistic degradation. | | Ending | Suicide/morphine overdose ambiguously staged as a final performance. | Fatal overdose with a visitation by a “light.” | blonde -2001 film-
