Unbelievable talent, taken to a WHOLE other level. WOW - Absolutely! "Monster" is an exceptional and thought-provoking film that leaves a lasting impression. Directed by Patty Jenkins, the movie delves into the disturbing journey of Aileen Wuornos, a former prostitute turned serial killer. Charlize Theron's performance is nothing short of remarkable. Theron's portrayal of Wuornos is truly transformative. She completely immerses herself in the character, capturing Wuornos's raw emotion, vulnerability, and inner turmoil. Theron's physical transformation is astonishing, as she gained weight, altered her appearance with prosthetics, and mastered Wuornos's mannerisms and dialect. WOW. Her dedication to the role is evident in every scene, making her portrayal utterly convincing.. how could it not be? Patty Jenkins' direction is equally outstanding. She approaches the sensitive subject matter with great sensitivity, exploring the complex issues surrounding Wuornos's life and crimes. Jenkins skillfully balances the dark and gritty aspects of the story with moments of tenderness and introspection, allowing the audience to develop a deeper understanding of Wuornos's psyche. The film's writing is exceptional, offering a nuanced and poignant exploration of the human condition. It delves into themes of trauma, abuse, societal marginalization, and the desperate search for love and acceptance. By humanizing Wuornos, the movie prompts us to question the nature of evil and the circumstances that can lead an individual down a destructive path. In terms of technical aspects, the cinematography effectively captures the bleakness and despair of Wuornos's world, while the soundtrack enhances the emotional impact of key scenes. The supporting cast, including Christina Ricci as Selby, Wuornos's love interest, delivers solid performances that complement Theron's tour de force. BLOWN AWAY. Overall, "Monster" is a powerful and haunting film that showcases exceptional performances, nuanced storytelling, and a profound exploration of the human psyche. While it may not be an easy watch due to its disturbing subject matter, it is undeniably a captivating and thought-provoking piece of cinema that deserves recognition. Review: Great Film, Disturbing Legacy, Compassion Needed... - Well...What we have here is a disturbing movie in some ways, but that is its intention, anyway. It allows us to think about the marginalized of our society and tries to make us understand what Aileen Wuornos went through in her life. Of particular importance is the absolutely terrific acting by Charlize Theron (for which she received Best Actress in this role) and Christina Ricci, who nearly steals the show. Before viewing, one should take a look on Wikipedia of the real story behind one of the nation's few women serial killers. And then, make a decision as to whether or not she should have been executed or not. In working with those deemed mentally ill as well as the marginalized, I have discovered they all have their own stories, some of which are just plain awful. Such is the case here. Other reviewers state with an air of ignorance and subtle racism that Wuornos should have approached social services in an attempt to wrestle with her demons in a safe manner and get some support, medication and resolution in a halfway house. I seriously doubt that Wuornos had the belief she could trust those agencies in light of the fact no one really understood her, or those demons she grappled so hard with. While it is true that as a prostitute one's daily life is always at risk, knows the dangers faced, and try to get something to eat to keep from starving to death. To care about persons such as what is depicted here knocks on the door of our capacity as humans to show some level of compassion, some level of maturity. That can be hard to do at times. Scenes where Theron faces potential employers are disturbing, as she gets angry and tells them off, rightly so in some respects. Bad behavior, indeed. On both sides. But practicing loving kindness is something not only lacking in Wuornos, but in those potential employers as well, and society as a whole. When you see this film, think about the true fact Wuornos was deemed Borderline Personality Disorder and Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Most of the time, personality disorders are difficult, if not impossible, to resolve, with or without medication, with or without therapy. Then, to be subjected to the criminal justice system in Florida is also difficult, and the subject's notoriety preceded her before she even had the remotest chance of a fair trial. When one deals with pathology of this magnitude, it is indeed, difficult to cast aside one's own prejudices in dealing with this population of the marginalized. The saving grace of Wuornos' legacy is that when one sees this film or reads about her life, perhaps compassion will find a way into one's life so that others may benefit. Movie Critic Roger Ebert at the time thought this the Best Film of the Year when it first came out. I would agree. Worth seeing and highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Bruce Dern, Charlize Theron, Christina Ricci, Patty Jenkins | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,762 Reviews | | Format | Color, Color, Color, DTS Surround Sound, DTS Surround Sound, DTS Surround Sound, Digital Sound, Digital Sound, Digital Sound, Dolby, Dolby, Dolby, Widescreen, Widescreen, Widescreen Format Color, Color, Color, DTS Surround Sound, DTS Surround Sound, DTS Surround Sound, Digital Sound, Digital Sound, Digital Sound, Dolby, Dolby, Dolby, Widescreen, Widescreen, Widescreen See more | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | MOVIE | | UPC | 733807898623 | ## Images ![Monster - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uxw3Gm7UL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding performances.
