Product Description

Product Description

Charlize Theron (The Italian Job, Trapped) explodes in a magnetic, Oscar(r)-winning (Best Actress, 2003) performance as convicted killer Aileen Wuornos.Severely abused and unloved, Aileen immersed herself in the dangerous world of highway prostitution...until she met Selby Wall (Christina Ricci, Sleepy Hollow), a naive girl who was Aileen's last chance at a normal life. But ultimately all Aileen understood was violence, and nobody imagined the nightmare that awaited the seven men standing in the way of her happiness. A critically-acclaimed film from writer/director Patty Jenkins. "Academy Award (r)" and "Oscar (r)" are the registered trademarks and service marks of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Set Contains:

Director Patty Jenkins is prominent in Monster's two above-average 15-minute featurettes. "Based on a True Story: The Making of Monster" combines news broadcast; interviews with Jenkins, Charlize Theron, and others; a look at Theron's makeup; and signs of Aileen Wuornos's real-life world, including her best friend and the real Last Resort bar. Jenkins and composer BT discuss the score in the other featurette, including how "the score was conceived from the ground up in 5.1" (the DVD's sound is all-enveloping) as well as the use of the hurdy-gurdy and the contribution of Journey's Steve Perry (even this featurette is in DTS). There's also a film-mixing demo, in which the viewer can add or subtract (but not change the levels of) the dialogue, sound effects, and music in a two-minute segment of the Funworld scene. Surprisingly there's no cross-promotion of the simultaneously released interview disc, Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer. --David Horiuchi

Incredible by Charlize
Been awhile since I saw a film so well done and so raw. Love movies like this that give you an incredible dose of harsh realities out there. Watched this via Hoopla app which partners with my local library. Charlize Theron was spectacular and looked truly manly for this role. Now I’m gonna watch the Aileen documentaries on amazon prime as a follow up to this story.

This is a masterpiece of a heartbreaker, all the more so because it's based on a true story of one of the few modern female serial killers. The script is chef's kiss. And Charlize Theron is incredible. It takes an actor of extraordinary skill to make a serial killer even somewhat sympathetic. A must-see for film buffs and true-crime enthusiasts both.

The movie script is based on a true story about Aileen "Lee" Wuornos (Charlize Theron), a prostitute who killed her johns and stole their money. She did it because she wanted to support her lesbian lover Selby (Christina Ricci). The film starts with their chance meeting in a bar Aileen has entered not knowing it is a gay/lesbian hangout. Selby offers Aileen to spend the night in her bed where she is discovered by her guardian Donna. They arrange a meeting the following night but Aileen is late. She was brutally raped and in self defense kills her assailant and takes his car and money. The rape scene is very disturbing and difficult to watch. Theron excels in the following scene where she murders the rapist. Particularly memorable is the scream she releases at the end, right before she looses consciousness. Afterwards Aileen still manages to meet with Selby and offers to take care of her. The two of them run away and make some motel room their home.

Soon after the money runs out and Aileen tries to earn some and disgusted by her last john, decides to leave prostitution. This is the weakest part of the movie. Aileen tries to get a regular job and is turned down on many occasions. She even tries to get a job as a secretary at a lawyer's office. I'm not sure what was the point of those scenes. If the author tried to build some kind of sympathy in the viewers for Aileen she failed because in some scenes she looks almost comical and I'm sure that was not Patty Jenkins intention. After her last job interview, with the lawyer, she is taken away by a policeman who knows she is a prostitute.

Aileen then realizes that her only option is prostitution and she takes to the highway again. The following scene in which she realizes that she can repeat the murder is the most memorable in the movie. The performance of Theron is simply brilliant as her eyes and body language shows the conflict, realization and finally the decision to commit another murder. This time Aileen does it much easier and shows less remorse.

The romance between Aileen and Selby suffers when Selby starts going out and meeting new lesbian friends. Aileen is left on the side to watch but comes to term with the situation. Ricci portrays Selby very well as a spoiled and weak teenager trying to fight for her life choices. Her performance is good but never matches Theron.

Aileen continues to kill her johns and provides for Selby but makes a fatal mistake when she kills a police officer which offered to help her. Selby has a car accident in one of the stolen cars and they are seen together by an elderly couple. Police starts to tighten the noose around them and releases their sketches on TV. Aileen realizes that they are going to be caught and sends Selby to her father. She is then caught and Selby is a star witness in her trial. Aileen is sentenced to death and executed after spending 12 years on death row.

The movie is presented in 1,85:1 widescreen. Picture quality is very good with well defined color and no visible digital artifacts. I was a bit disappointed with sound quality. Even though there is 5.1 DTS mix available as an option the sound is sometimes poorly mixed. In some scenes it is difficult to follow the dialogue because it is obscured by music and sound effects.

The special features include:

Featurette This is a 16 minute Making of "Monster" documentary which features interviews with Charlize Theron and Patty Jenkins. Theron talks about a research trip she took with Patty Jenkins while preparing for the role. She visited some of the places where Aileen lived and spent her time. They talk how they read her letters which she wrote in the last years of her life and talked with her childhood friend. The there is a part about the makeup where we see a bit of work necessary to transform Theron into Aileen. We get a short glimpse at working on location and see some of the creative process Charlize Theron used in creating the character of Aileen. One interesting line Theron says in the interview: "There is no way to get the story right, because there is so much happening in a persons life that it is impossible." That is true, and that is why I don't like "based on a true story" movies, because they are never right.

Theatrical Trailer

International Trailer

Monster "Surrounded" is a brief bit about surround mixing of the sound and the score for the movie.

Film Mixing Demo This is an interesting interactive demo where you can isolate or mix sound effect and dialogues from some scenes in the movie. It is interesting but with no long term value since it quickly becomes boring. Also, it feels like it doesn't belong to a DVD with this sort of movie. It would be a nice edition to a movie like "Monsters inc" but here it just seems out of place.

Interview With Patty Jenkins & BT This is a longer documentary about the evolution of a musical score for the movie. BT is a young composer who made his name in "Fast and Furious" movie and was a bit of a surprise for this kind of movie but in my opinion it turned out great. The score is very good and reflects the mood of the movie but it is a shame that it is sometimes too loud and obscures the dialogue.

This is a very good movie but it is nowhere near the five star rating. It is closer to three stars but the amazing performance of Charlize Theron earns the fourth star. The Oscar is well deserved. Even though her face is filled with makeup and prosthetics she manages to portray all the emotions the character is experiencing. The makeup team led by Toni G (Dawn of the Dead, Planet of the Apes) also deserves a big applause for their work. Her performance is a great example of total immersion in the role. She had to gain almost 30 pounds to give her the required look.

The biggest problem of the movie is its apologetic story toward the main character. The movie is full of references to Aileen's hard life and the abuse she suffered as a child. But hard life is no excuse for murder. Half the population of the planet would be murderers if it was so. The script is based on the stories Aileen told her bunkmate in prison. But are those stories true or are they the product of a deranged mind of a convicted killer, we will never know. So this story is one dimensional, from a point of view of a killer. There is no mention of the suffering she caused by killing those men, the loss their families had to endure. Her first victim, the rapist is a despicable human being but, what are his reasons to act that way. Did he had a hard life as well?

Absolutely! "Monster" is an exceptional and thought-provoking film that leaves a lasting impression. Directed by Patty Jenkins, the movie delves into the disturbing journey of Aileen Wuornos, a former prostitute turned serial killer. Charlize Theron's performance is nothing short of remarkable.

Theron's portrayal of Wuornos is truly transformative. She completely immerses herself in the character, capturing Wuornos's raw emotion, vulnerability, and inner turmoil. Theron's physical transformation is astonishing, as she gained weight, altered her appearance with prosthetics, and mastered Wuornos's mannerisms and dialect. WOW.
Her dedication to the role is evident in every scene, making her portrayal utterly convincing.. how could it not be?

Patty Jenkins' direction is equally outstanding. She approaches the sensitive subject matter with great sensitivity, exploring the complex issues surrounding Wuornos's life and crimes. Jenkins skillfully balances the dark and gritty aspects of the story with moments of tenderness and introspection, allowing the audience to develop a deeper understanding of Wuornos's psyche.

The film's writing is exceptional, offering a nuanced and poignant exploration of the human condition. It delves into themes of trauma, abuse, societal marginalization, and the desperate search for love and acceptance. By humanizing Wuornos, the movie prompts us to question the nature of evil and the circumstances that can lead an individual down a destructive path.

In terms of technical aspects, the cinematography effectively captures the bleakness and despair of Wuornos's world, while the soundtrack enhances the emotional impact of key scenes. The supporting cast, including Christina Ricci as Selby, Wuornos's love interest, delivers solid performances that complement Theron's tour de force. BLOWN AWAY.

Overall, "Monster" is a powerful and haunting film that showcases exceptional performances, nuanced storytelling, and a profound exploration of the human psyche. While it may not be an easy watch due to its disturbing subject matter, it is undeniably a captivating and thought-provoking piece of cinema that deserves recognition.

ACHTUNG ! ENTHÄLT SPOILER !
Im Jahr 2003 erschien der Film "Monster" der Regisseurin und Drehbuchautorin Patty Jenkins. Er beruht auf dem berühmten Fall der Serienmörderin Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron), die 1992 für den Mord an 6 Freiern zum Tode verurteilt und 2002 durch Giftspritze hingerichtet wurde.
Seit dem 8.Lebensjahr von einem Bekannten des Vaters mißbraucht, landet Aileen mit 13 Jahren auf dem Straßenstrich, wo die im Film ca. 30-35jährige seitdem ihren Lebensunterhalt verdient. Ihres Lebens überdrüssig, will sie ihre letzten 5 $ vertrinken und lernt in einer Bar die gerade volljährig gewordene Selby kennen, die zur "Heilung" von ihrer Homosexualität zu einer Tante geschickt wurde und den Kontakt zu ihr sucht.
Aus den beiden wird ein Liebespaar, Aileens Versuche, ein bürgerliches Leben aufzubauen, scheitern an erfolgloser Jobsuche, und Selby ist ein verwöhntes Persönchen, arbeitet selber nicht, sodaß Aileen den alten Job wieder aufnimmt.
Sie wird von einem sadistischen Freier brutal vergewaltigt, kann sich aber befreien und den Sadisten mit seiner Pistole aus dem Handschuhfach
erschießen. Sie bleibt in dem Job, wird vón einem Polizisten gedemütigt und erschießt nach und nach weitere 6 Freier, darunter einen Polizisten und einen Mann, der sie anhand von Steckbriefen des Paares erkannt hat. Im Prozeß sagt ihre ehemalige Geliebte gegen sie aus, Aileen nimmt alle Schuld auf sich.
Im Making Off berichten die Regisseurin und C.Theron über umfangreiche Rechersche. Sie haben mit Menschen gesprochen, die die Täterin kannten und nicht schlecht über sie sprachen, es wurde ein sehr umfangreicher Schriftwechsel mit einer Jugendfreundin gesichtet ,der sich über die gesamte Zeit bis zur Hinrichtung hinzog, der Drehort war dann auch die Gegend, wo sich die Ereignisse abgespielt hatten.

Das Ergebnis ist ein durchaus fesselnder Film, der Aileen als selbstbewußte, professionelle Prostituierte darstellt, die nach bitterer Mißbrauchvorgeschichte ( die nur kurz erzählt wird) und ca. 15-20 Jahren als Straßenhure ohne Zuhälter ausgebrannt ist. Die Bekanntschaft und die aufkommende Liebe zu der kleinen Selby gibt ihr noch einmal neuen Lebensmut, den Absprung schafft sie aber nicht und hat mit der unreifen Freundin auch keine rechte Unterstützung, Selby läßt sich aushalten, ist zwar über die Taten entsetzt, bleibt aber bei Aileen.
Die erste Tat wird als völlig gerechtfertigt geschildert, so wie es im Film geschah, hatte sie keine andere Wahl, sie mußte damit rechnen, nach den Vergewaltigungen ermordet zu werden oder sie nicht zu überleben.
Im Verlauf wird noch ein Kontakt zu einem völlig verklemmten Kunden gezeigt, bei dem das Geld mit kurzer "Handarbeit" rasch verdient ist, es folgen weitere Morde zur Geldbeschaffung, die nicht alle gezeigt werden, ein Mord geschieht ohne jede Not aus blankem Haß, der Tote scheint hier stellvertretend für alle Freier zu stehen und zu sterben, der letzte aus blanker Angst und Verzweiflung, weil sie erkannt wurde.
Aileen erscheint als Frau, die das Leben hart gemacht hat, auf der Straße und dem Straßenstrich steht sie ihre Frau, sie ist selbstbewußt und, wenn Geld da ist, großkotzig und provokant. Den Weg in ein normales Leben mit Selby, durch "normale Arbeit" finanziert, kann man sich einfach nicht vorstellen.
Kritikwürdig ist, daß Aileen in dem Film relativ gut davon- und fast sympathisch rüberkommt. Sicher muß man ihr Schicksal als Mißbrauchopfer berücksichtigen, und das beliebte Argument, daß Frauen mit vergleichbarer Vorgeschichte nicht zur Prostituierten und Mörderin geworden sind, daß Aileen also voll schuldig sei, ist kurzsichtig. Wir erfahren einfach zu wenig über die Vorgeschichte. Und wenn Frauen diese oder vergleichbare Kindheit wegstecken konnten (sicher nie unbeschadet), macht es doch einen Unterschied, ob sie aus einem guten sozialen Umfeld kommt, ob sie Hilfsangebote bekommt, wie gut sie solche Kindheit verarbeiten oder auch verdrängen kann. Nicht gezeigt wird, was sie zu den weiteren Morden veranlaßt hat, dachte sie, nur mit Mord ihr Leben finanzieren zu können und sich den Sex mit den Freiern ersparen zukönnen? Was einmal funktioniert hat, kann auch immer funktionieren? Hingen die Morde vom Typ des Freiers ab? Der eine Mord erschien eiskalt, der andere verzweifelt und widerwiilig aus Angst vor Entlarvung. Im Prozeß hat sie sich ausgeschwiegen, es blieb offen, ob es 6 oder 7 waren, bei der Festnahme schien sie mit dem Leben abgeschlossen zu haben, nachdem sie vorher die Geliebte noch in Sicherheit gebracht hat.

Der Film ist aus diesen Gründen kein Meisterwerk, aber ich bewerte ihn sehr gut, weil er fesselte, nicht zuletzt oder besser fast nur durch die schauspielerische Glanzleistung von Charlize Theron, die neben Oscar und Golden Globe fast 20 weitere Preise dafür erhalten hat. Was man von der Nominierung zum MTV Movie Award für den besten Filmkuss mit C.Ricci halten soll, dazu äußere ich mich lieber nicht.
"Mut zur Häßlichkeit"? Theron soll für die Rolle 13 kg zugelegt haben, sie trug ein Gebiß, was natürlich die untere Gesichspartie plumper machte, und die Fisur mit oben glatt und an den Seiten etwas abstehend zurückgebürsteten Haaren war unvorteilhaft, für Manchen vielleicht auch die aufgetupften Sommersprossen. Sie war aber beileibe nicht fett, hatte nur ein kleines Bäuchlein, dort 5 kg weniger, und an der Figur wäre von vielen nichts auszusetzen gewesen. Sie verkörperte eher einen herben, etwas männlich wirkenden Typ, war aber nicht abstoßend häßlich und sah besser aus als die echte Aileen Wuornos.
Es war aber nicht die Maske, die zu einer gewissen Ähnlichkeit mit der echten Ailleen führte, welche Charlize Theron so beeindruckend machte, sondern ihr Spiel insgesamt. Sie ließ ihre tatsächliche Schönheit völlig vergessen, ihr gesamtes Auftreten, ihr Gehabe, ihr manchmal fast rockerartiges Gangbild, das selbstbewußt- provokative Auftreten, die Emotionen im Verhältnis zur Geliebten, das blanke Entsetzen, als sie den einen Freier ermorden "muß", wir wissen nicht, ob das Aileen war, aber ganz gewiss war es nicht Charlize Theron, die Aileen nur spielt, alles war ohne Bruch, immer authentisch wirkend, bewegend, egal in welchem Sinne.
Dies ließ mich während des Filmes seine Schwächen vergessen bzw. mich ihrer erst später bewußt werden.

Eine schauspielerisches Glanzleistung von Charlize Theron,die mit recht für ihr Spiel und nicht für ihr Aussehen belohnt wurde. Sie allein schon macht den Film unbedingt sehenswert.

Ispirato alla storia vera di Aileen Wuornos, prima donna serial killer della storia. Nata e cresciuta in una famiglia sbandata, nonostante i grandi sogni nel cassetto da bambina,da adulta diventa una prostituta. E una notte, quando un cliente tenta di farle violenza, scatta in lei l'impulso di uccidere e a commettere altri omicidi in seguito. Una via di redenzione potrebbe esserci: l' amore che le dona Selby, una ragazza conosciuta al bar. Ma anche questo rapporto che sembra darle serenità, è molto instabile e conflittuale. Ottima l'interpretazione delle due protagoniste: Christina Ricci e una strabiliante Charlize Theron per l'occasione ingrassata di ben 15 chili e imbruttita a dovere. Buona la qualità del DVD. Per questa interpretazione la Theron vinse l' Oscar come miglior attrice protagonista nel 2004.
