Where is Christian Bale as Dick Cheney? And Bale even gained weight for that role, he didn't wear the fat costume, while Gary Oldman as Churchill did wear the fat costume. Bale should have been number 1 or 2 here, he looked just like Cheney!

I really think this video was missing actors like: Kathy Bates as Margaret Brown and some of the Titanic actors; Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos in Monster; Sienna Miller as Eddie Sedgwick in Factory Girl; Gary Oldman as Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy (and frankly he is so chameleonic he could also be in other roles in the list like Lee Harvey Oswald or Pres. Harry S. Truman); Gwilym Lee as Brian May, Joseph Mazzelo as John Deacon, Aiden Gillen as John Reid, Dermot Murphy as Bob Geldoff from Bohemian Rhapsody; Paul Dano & John Cusak as Brian Wilson in Love & Mercy; Oliver Cooper as David Berkowitz; Corey Allen as William Henry Hance, Morgan Kelly as Paul Bateson, Jack Erdie as Richard Speck, Sonny Valicenti as Dennis Rader, Cameron Britton as Ed Kemper, from Mindhunter; Ron Livingston as Lewis Nixon, Matt Settle as Ronald C. Speirs, Michael Cudlitz as Denver Randleman, Bart Russpoli as Ed Tipper, Ross McCall as Joseph D. Liebgott, Mark Huber as Lester Hashey, Damian Lewis as Dick Winters from Band of Brothers; Joseph Mazzelo as Eugene Sledge, Ashton Holmes as Sidney Phillips, Martin McCann as Romus Valton, in The Pacific; George C. Scott as George S. Patton in Patton; and somewhat the cast of Apollo 13. I really dont think Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela, Austin Butler as Elvis Presley, Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo nor Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcok really fit the description of "actors who look exactly like the historical figures" they may have a similar look and be extremely great actors who played a magnificent part in their role and embodied the character but they didn't look convincing enough to distract you from the fact these are other people and who don't belong to this list in my opinion.

Philip Seymore Hoffman as Truman Capote deserves a mention.

You missed Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison.

mark, yes, he was good in that film. for those going through the comments, I've got good news. God is good because He gives His blessings to everyone, whether they be good or bad. but everyone has at least, told a lie, or stolen something in their life. and that makes them sinners, and God will not allow sinners in heaven; in His presence, because He is holy. so, God has to punish the sinners in hell, because God is severe and just. but God is also love and He made a way for some to be saved from His wrath. here are the steps: 1. admit that you're a sinner and are lost. 2. realize that the penalty of sin is death (hell). 3. believe that Jesus (who is God) died on the cross, was buried, then rose from the grave, to pay the penalty for man's past, present, and future sins. 4. trust Christ alone as your Savior, and not on your own good deeds to get you to heaven (nor a combination of your faith and self-righteous works). 5. pray to God NOW that you're accepting Christ's free gift of salvation because if you die before making this decision, it's too late, and you'll 🔥🥵😈 6. and to be a disciple, tell people about Jesus, read the bible, go to church regularly to know God's will for your life.

Think of it like a horror adaptation, and although some will always consider film content they don't like "problematic," the narrative makes sense. The film was faithful to the best selling and award-winner novel (yes, novel) by Joyce Carol Oates, and KZread film analysts such as Mark Kermode saw it as such. Other films about MM have been much more fawning, others likely more accurate. However, Blonde, the film, did receive scores of 80 and up from Variety, New York Magazine and The Telegraph - thus making it more divisive than universally seen as "problematic." Some of us liked it and others did not. That said, I agree with de Armas' performance as quite good.

Biopics embellish the truth from time to time because it's a movie, not a documentary. Having said that, many people(myself and Trina Q included) took issue with the movie because Marilyn was constantly being abused both physically and sexually and they add nothing to her story other than shock value. I know Marilyn dealt with abuse in her life, but she was more than her trauma.
