Movie: Monster
We recently saw Monster a dark, unsettling, and utterly depressing movie based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos (played by Charlize Theron), who was one of this country’s first female serial killers. Early in the movie, Aileen develops a relationship with a younger woman named Selby (played by Christina Ricci). The film focuses on the period of time during which Aileen, a prostitute, begins murdering her clientele and stealing their money for her and Selby to live off of. This movie was not easy to watch. However, Charlize Theron’s transformation into character was amazing. She was completely unrecognizable and her performance was outstanding. The Best Actress Oscar she won last year was clearly deserved.
