Theron really earned that Oscar
You will simply stare in amazement when you watch Charlize Theron in Monster. She potrays this character so convincingly that you forget that this is one of the most beautiful women in the world. She makes you empathize with the character. She isn't portrayed as a inhuman monster but rather a tragic figure who strives for hope and love.

Phenominal motion picture
I watched Monster without any expectations, save knowing that it was a movie about two women. At the end of the screening, i was totally blown away. One, Charlize Theron gives a spectacular performance as 'serial killer' Aileen Wuornos. Her facial expressions and bodily movements strongly resemble that of the actual person (based on what i read). Secondly, the 'human' aspect of Aileen was brought out in the film, and despite her brutal killings, one can symphatise with aspects of her life which brought her to this point of no return when she started killing her johns. Thirdly, although Monster is primarily about Aileen the killer, yet the viewer is treated to a love story between Aileen and her lesbian lover. This is in many aspects, the driving force of the film and which makes the film memorable. Some prison psychologists had diagnosed Aileen as having Borderline personality disorder, which explains her behaviour of wanting to keep Selby Wall, her girlfriend (in real life, the girl's name is Tyria Moore) at all costs, despite the fact that Selby was at times a selfish, immature person who ultimately betrayed Aileen. The final scene of the 'confession' phone call (which basically nailed it for Aileen) is heartbreaking. Aileen basically took the fall for everything and absolved Selby of any blame. Even though the audience may sense a taste of Hollywood drama here, one must remember that in real life, Aileen did take the blame for everything, and even went to the extent of sending Tyria money while she was on death row. Perhaps this is a glimpse into a rare aspect of her life (which traditional documentaries on her never cover), which shows us that at the end of the day, she is a human being like the rest of us and despite her heinous crimes, she too longed to be loved and feel love. The betrayal scene will stick in my mind for a long time to come. I welcome emails on this film as i am interested to know more about the film as well as Aileen and her lover

GOOD ACTING. VERY SAD STORY.
THIS POOR GIRL NEVER HAD A CHANCE. CHARLIZE THERON DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB PORTRYING AILEEN WUORNOS A SWEET BUT VERY MISGUIDED YOUNG WOMAN WHO NEVER HAD A FAIR SHOT AT LIFE. THE THINGS SHE DID SHE WAS DRIVEN TO DO AND YOU REALLY CAN'T BLAME HER FOR IT. I WOULD HAVE DONE THE VERY SAME THING. SHE HAD TO SURVIVE. NOONE WAS HELPING HER. SHE FINALLY FOUND LOVE WHERE SHE WASN'T LOOKING FOR IT AND DIDN'T WANT OR EXPECT TO FIND IT. BUT SHE WAS STILL LIVING IN HELL. MEN HAD USED AND ABUSED HER. THEY ALL DESERVED TO DIE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. AILEEN SHOULD HAVE LIVED. SHE KNEW HOW TO LOVE THANKS TO SELBY. CHRISTIANA RICCI DOES AN AWESOME JOB PORTAYING THE YOUNG MISUNDERSTOOD LESBIAN SELBY. THESE TWO GIRLS NEVER HAD A FAIR CHANCE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOME MEN CAN BE SUCH SAVAGE USELESS CRETINS. AILEEN WUORNOS DID THE WORLD A BIG FAVOR IN KILLING THOSE PIGS BY RIDDING THE WORLD OF PURE GARBAGE. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PUT TO DEATH. WE LIVE IN A VERY SCREWED-UP WORLD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! AILEEN WUORNOS WAS A VICTIM WHO BECAME A HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO AILEEN!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!
