I love documentaries and this one was well done. C.Theron doesn't look anything like how she normally looks they did an amazing job making her look like Aileen Wuornos. I had mixed emotions about this serial killer movie. Only because I watched a documentary which showed interviews with her and how she was given the death penalty even for the first murder which was clearly self defense as she was raped and tortured. The movie actually didn't show everything she said happened while on the stand. It was pretty horrific what this guy did to her. However after that she went nuts and thought every man was like that. She was also not a very intelligent woman kind of a simpleton
she was very easily manipulated and taken advantage of because she had no common sense. Over all the movie was well done and they did a great job of making you feel sorry for Aileen Wuornos. Which is kinda awful in away but shows that she was turned into this serial killer, she didn't want to be like this, but after the rape/torture she endured she mentally wasn't in her right frame of mind when she killed the other men.

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.

Reviewed in Italy on March 2, 2017Verified Purchase
Ispirato alla storia vera di Aileen Wuornos, prima donna serial killer della storia. Nata e cresciuta in una famiglia sbandata, nonostante i grandi sogni nel cassetto da bambina,da adulta diventa una prostituta. E una notte, quando un cliente tenta di farle violenza, scatta in lei l'impulso di uccidere e a commettere altri omicidi in seguito. Una via di redenzione potrebbe esserci: l' amore che le dona Selby, una ragazza conosciuta al bar. Ma anche questo rapporto che sembra darle serenità, è molto instabile e conflittuale. Ottima l'interpretazione delle due protagoniste: Christina Ricci e una strabiliante Charlize Theron per l'occasione ingrassata di ben 15 chili e imbruttita a dovere. Buona la qualità del DVD. Per questa interpretazione la Theron vinse l' Oscar come miglior attrice protagonista nel 2004.
