montrously beautiful!!!!
I like dark films, because we see so many happy, positive films that they make us forget the dark side of this world, and I just want to ask: if we don't know these dark sides, how will we see the light? How will we be aware of these people? how will we know that we should notice them and try to change them and help these people?

I won't give you a summary of the story, since so many people did. I just like to point out the explosive performance of Theron- how could you even imagine a model-like beauty could pull off a psychopath? The make-up certainly helped, but of course, all props to Theron, she definitely needed the Oscar, which she rightfully won.

The movie revealed that it's not true all serial killers are cold-blood murderers, as many of us like to believe, but the result of negative drives. I'm not justifying for Aileen's actions, they were definitely wrong, but she definitely needed help. If she didn't have an abusive childhood or had recieved professional help, she probably would never have ended up this way. I think it's completely true that while Aileen's action is her own, maybe we all share a part of the responsiblity; while she's wrong in killing people, the people who drove her mentally mad to do it also did a very wrong thing.

Monster truly is a masterpiece. But it may not be for everyone. People who do not like the idea of this aka. people who think there is a clear distinction of right and wrong, and that every action and cause of action is one's own, will not like this film. People don't like gruelsome killing movies will not like it, and people who generally don't like negative things will not like it. But that's why it's rated R.

Understand the "Monster"

Who is that "monster"? Before you see this movie, you may probably think it's one prostitute "serial killer"...Well, it's not what the movie is about. I'd say it's about the desperate need of love and understanding..about Aileen - one unloved girl pushed to the extremes...and who are we to judge her? We've no right to judge anyone unless we're standing in their shoes. And this movie lets us see the different point of view, which is a key to understanding, what Aileen wanted most...

Tough to watch,
For me, It doesn't bother to see any Ugly factors in the movie. But it was extremely disturbing me to see the no-makeup face of Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci.

She was a true monster without covering "deep" makeup..It was the most disturbing movie ever.

I don't trust the photos of Charlize Theron after watching this movie.
