LDS_forever wanted to watch this mostly because of the number of awards it received. The film was well made - no doubt about that and Charlize Theron was brilliant. There is always an excitement to see a film that is based on a true story because you often can't believe the things some people go through. The down side of the movie was the amount of profanity that was used. I guess this was to give it the feel of 'reality', but it was just too much.
Monster (Hover)
A dark tale based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, one of America's first female serial killers. Wuornos had a difficult and cruel childhood plagued by abuse and drug use in Michigan. She became a prostitute by the age of thirteen, the same year she became pregnant. She eventually moved to Florida where she began earning a living as a highway prostitute servicing the desires of semi-truck drivers. The tale focuses on the nine month period between 1989 and 1990, during which Wuornos had a lesbian relationship with a woman named Selby. And during that very same time, she also began murdering her clientele in order to get money without using sex. This turned the tables on a rather common phenomena of female highway prostitutes being the victims of serial killers - instead Wuornos, herself, carried out the deeds of a cold-blooded killer.
Monster (Hover)
A biopic on Aileen Carol Wuornos, a highway prostitute who was executed for killing seven men in the state of Florida during the 1980s.
