Title: Charlize Is Brilliant
Product review: I had seen the TV documentary on the serial killer upon whom this film was based, and the documentary included film of her in court and in interviews (she has since been executed for her crimes).When I say that Charlize Theron picked up the look, the mannerisms, the speech patterns, and even the walk of this woman, that's an understatement. Charlize IS the murderer--a loser hooker who's had a horrible life, but who has a heart, albeit twisted and sick.Theron's transformation into this horrific murder is so much more than makeup. Even as we see her commit her unspeakable crimes, she somehow makes us sense that beneath it all, there is some humanity...morphed into a sick sense that what she is doing is right."Monster" is not an easy movie to watch, but it is completely fascinating. This review is being written before the Oscars, and I can see Theron winning Best Actress--and deserving it.
