Monster - Opinion

Saturday, i hv bought 6 dvds for only RM20 in Sg. wang .. i think those privated dvd seller are trying to sell off dvds ....

It is so much cheaper than vcds .. and the quality is so damn good ... at first i was wondering wat kind of stock is this, cuz it seems imposssible to sell so cheap RM10 for 3 piece of dvds, and so i questioned to myself, the quality must be god damn low ... it must be d5 ... bt i just couldn't help my leg from walking away from it .... cuz the crowd is big ... which really attracts me to go and see what's going on.

So i discover it is d9 (the best quality for pirated dvd), then i ask the seller, how is the quality, then he said the mix it with the good d9 with the lower quality of d9 .. so see how lucky you are!!

Then, i just couldn't resist the cheap price, and i am so damn broke now ... but i just can't help it .. so i choose, and bought 6 back ... haha!!

I've bought
1. Cold Moutain
2. Monster
3. Farenheit 911
4. Ladder 49
5. The Grundge
6. Lost in Translation

Almost all of them are good movies ... haha it worth so much cuz 4 out of 6 is the better quality.

ok Watever ... I hv watch a part of Monster on saturday nite, stop it when my parents are back, not to say that i dun want to share the movie with them, but .... cuz it was in the middle of the movie with some crisis on it, and most importantly the lead role are going to be naked, i knew wat will happen next, so better be safe, stop the movie and continue next time. It is kinda embarrassing watching explicit scene with parents ...

Ok Monster is a true story of America first women serial killer - Aileen Wournous (i hope i spell her last name rite)

This role was played by Charlize Theron, a very beautiful women ... but she has to transform into a huge, ugly, dirty street hooker in this film. With this excellent transformation, and her acting skill made her won the best actree for both Academy Awards and Golden Globe.


Let's see the artwork of Toni G. - the make-up artist for this transformation


the real Wournos C.Theron as W Charlize Theron

I wanted to watch this movie long long ago, introduce by channel V 'The Ticket' .... bt i couldn't remember the synopsis for this movie after i watch them, i just knew this kind of movie is the movie i like to watch.

So, then i started to watch, alone at home!!

Christina Ricci as the supporting actress, she acted as a lesbian partner for Aileen Wournos. At first i din know they hv homesexuality content in it .... nt after i watch the whole thing ....

This movie is totally not for a kid to watch, becuz u need to hv a stable EQ to adjust and accept what is shown in the movie .... i kind of hard to believe what they show at first ... but i just have to go with the flow!!!

I started watching the movie without knowing the sypnosis, so i dun have any mentaly prepare for this movie ... i was shock at first with the lesbianity element ... they french kiss, passionately!!! .... Then got to know Aileen is actually a street hooker, she do it for her living .... then i started to reliase there are street hooker !!! All along i tot ppl standin along the highway, putting out their thumb and hope to get a car to go somewhere they wanted to "shun fung ceh" (in canto) means conveniet car!!

I am so innocent .... never knew they can actually earn a living with this!! Maybe there are nt exist in Malaysia ... maybe America where they hv lots of highway!!

Ok this is fine until ... scene showing a 'John' of Aileen raping her in the car ... this scene was totally obscene as wat i tot !! though they din show the pirate part, but the action made u imagine with that kind of pain and .... struggle. Most importantly, that men is not using his asset to rape her, he used a stick to rape her. Tying her hands, and she is lying in the car unconciously (before that, her head was hit by him painfully) Then she is awake, with her hand being tied up. She wanted to get rid of it, but the men came, and said something bad ... then get a stick and push into her private part hardly ... The camera angle showing Aileen lying there, and the men at the back pushing the stick into her private part .... the audience can see the stick being push in!! That scene was so obscene .... which really made me felt uncomfortable, and felt bad for her, both Aileen and Charlize ... the actress need to act it !! Then she start to struggle, and finally get rid of that knot in her hands, she is trying to fight back fiercefully, she took her gun and shot him with all her bullet .... This scene do give me some impact!!!

She is afraid, can't do anything ... then she took his money and his car and back to the motel to meet with her lesbian partner.

The partner is like a dumb ass ... doing nothing by ask for money to go out of that place (the lesbian partner hv pressure frm his father and family)

Aileen can't do anything, but she wanted to give her partner better life, all they need is money!! So she started to quit the hooker job and try to find a job in the office, to maintain a stable life. But too bad, no chance were given to her, as she dun hv any qualification, and she dunno how to write.

Not until one day, a police car came and her into his car, fetch her to a parking place, and told her, he is her customer b4, so now he needed her to give him a blow job ... she is trying to quit, but ... she can't.. cuz no chance was given to her ... nt even a chance, she has no choice bt to give that police officer a blow job ....

They need money, money and money, no office job for her ... a lot of pressure she is getting ... from the experience of murdering someone ... she is badly injured mentalily and physically.

She has no choice, bt to go back to be a street hooker again. Bt now, she has the dark shadow of being raped then, now whenever she got a men, they drive into a dark place, then kill the men and get the money and car.

On and on ... she has killed 7 men in a row ....

Her life .... was bad ... too many dramatic conflicts happened in her life. too many!!

In the end, she was caught and face execute ...

this movie consists of violent, fault language, social commentary, some element of road movie, and most profoundly Love Story ....

At the end of the movie, when the credit start to roll.... i hv a damn down kind of emotion, suddenly i hv lots of thoughts in my mind .... this kind of feeling i dunno how to describe in words, i dunno is it good to watch this kind of movie ... cuz it gave u some bad impact ... bt i think it made become a better person too ... better than watchin comedy movie which make u laugh laugh and laugh, then nothing to make you think!!

I guess this is the point of movie that they are trying to make ... this movie have won a lot of awards ... it is not a blockbuster kind of movie... but the storyline and their acting just made you impress with everything!!! BRAVO .... (hand claps when the movie end)
