A shockingly moving film that burrows deep beneath the tabloid-sized headline stories of aileen wuornos the man-hating serial killer executed last year in florida. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 02/28/2006 Starring: Charlize Theron Bruce Dern Run time: 108 minutes Rating: R

Chilling movie based on true story

A riveting depiction of the life of Aileen Wuornos, the serial killing hooker in Florida who carried out a vigilante mission, of sorts, on her clients. The beautiful Charlize Theron is almost unrecognizable, but superbly acted as Aileen, as is Christina Ricci in the role of Selby, her lesbian lover.

Anyone familiar with the actual case will appreciate the back story of Aileen's early life which is properly presented in this film. The viewer may feel an amount of sympathy when she begins her vengence; you've heard the expression "some people just need killin'," and that certainly applies in that sad instance. But Ms. Wuornos, unsuccessful in a quest for a "normal" job as she tries to maintain a comfortable lifestyle for herself and Selby, descends into the dark world of sequential murder on a regular basis in order to survive.

Not for the easily offended, this movie both shocks and assails the senses, but grips the viewer completely.

True Story of a Femal Serial Killer

Excellent movie about the real life actions of one of the few female serial killers. Very non-exploitative considering it's subject is a pair of lesbian lovers, one of which is an violent murderer. The characters are real, you can feel pity for them and their hard lives, but you also feel the very deserving sense of disgust that they earn for themselves. This reality is brought to the characters by the amazing acting of both Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci, with the infamous transformation of Theron who gain 20 lbs, wore fake teeth, and went sans makeup, bringing the "monster" of the film to life. If your interested in serial killers, true crime movies, or dramas dealing with ill-fated romances, then this is the movie for you...

The first statement I have to say about Monster is that I did not enjoy watching this excellent movie. Monster is harsh and grim and almost painful viewing. It is also a true story. That in itself is what makes this important picture hard to look at.

Life can be terribly harsh and the world was not kind to Eileen Wuornos.

Brutally abused as a child and cast out at a young age into an uncaring world she turned to a life of highway prostitution. Her life became a cycle of drug and alcohol abuse and selling her body to guys who frequently beat her because that's what got them off. She accepted it all and didn't care until she fell in love with another woman.

Charlize Theron's portrait of a woman who will do anything, including murder, to keep her one chance at love alive is gut wrenching. She became this damaged woman. Theron won The Best Actress Academy Award for her role in Monster. She deserved it. Eileen Wuornos cannot and should not be forgiven for the crimes she committed but this movie does make you understand the hows and whys of what happened in her life.

Monster was graphic and tense and emotionally draining. It was a highly uncomfortable one hour and forty-nine minutes that I spent watching this film. I will never watch Monster again but I'm glad I did see it the one time.

Monster

Although not entirely accurate in this DVD's representation of Aileen Wournos, at least according to her final confession, it is a well-crafted movie; exciting, and always pushing the envelope. I liked it, and would recommend it to anyone interested in the sad life of Aileen Wournos. It is well-worth watching.
