As a devoted fan of true crime dramas and someone who has spent countless hours delving into the intricacies of various cases, I must say that the recent Netflix series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” has captured my attention like no other. The cast’s insights into their portrayals of these enigmatic brothers have only added to my fascination with this story.
The actors from “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” are sharing their thoughts on the debated Netflix show.
In response to the criticism from Erik Menendez towards the Ryan Murphy drama that depicts the 1989 murders of his parents, José Menendez and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, by Erik and his brother Lyle Menendez, the actors involved, including Cooper Koch who played Erik in the series, have shared their thoughts. As Koch stated, this negative reaction from Erik had a significant impact on him, causing him to feel various emotions.
Cooper shared in an interview with Variety on September 25 that he can relate to his subject’s situation, having a deeply personal aspect of their life broadcasted to the public. He acknowledged the vulnerability this brings, stating, “I feel for him, I understand him.” In essence, he expressed solidarity and support for him.
In the heart of the matter, at the ripe age of 28, I aimed to paint a complex picture of the younger Menendez brother, delving into his intricacies and capturing his essence on screen.
He emphasized that he felt strongly about thoroughly investigating and understanding himself in order to accurately represent the individual with honesty. He wanted to remain true to himself, his cause, and everyone standing by him.
Nonetheless, Nathan Lane, who portrayed journalist Dominick Dunne, found Menendez’s criticism questionable, as he hadn’t actually seen the series himself.
The Emmy winner stated, “He’s criticizing and condemning it without having experienced it himself, so his opinions should be viewed skeptically. After all, when your life is dramatized in a Netflix miniseries, it may not always flatter or please you. However, I would advise that one should watch it before making further comments.
Javier Bardem, who played José Menendez, shared understanding with Erik (the one convicted for the murders in 1996), as he too was imprisoned for life without the possibility of parole.
The Oscar winner made it clear that expressing one’s thoughts about their personal life being portrayed on a show is perfectly reasonable and understandable. He added that he hadn’t fully reviewed Erik Menendez’s statement, but agreed with the sentiment. He also pointed out that Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan offer unique perspectives and interpretations of the same topic because there isn’t just one way to view things. This flexibility extends to how a character is portrayed as well.
After Ryan responded to Erik’s critique, he expressed his hope that the 53-year-old, who labeled the miniseries as an “inaccurate portrayal of the hardships” in his statement, would have a chance to watch the series.
He expressed to TopMob News on September 23 that he finds the show incredibly intriguing due to its aim to present numerous viewpoints. In each episode, viewers are introduced to fresh theories supported by individuals who were either directly involved in or closely followed the case.
In an upcoming documentary titled “The Menendez Brothers“, streaming on Netflix from October 7, the brothers who previously implicated their parents in physical and sexual abuse prior to the murders, will share their perspective of the events that transpired.
Lyle stated over the phone from prison, in a trailer released on September 23rd, “Why did we kill our parents is the question everyone asks.” He added, “Perhaps now they’ll comprehend the real story.
