Has anyone see this movie yet? I have and was just wondering what anyone else thought about Chalize's performance or the story. Just curious.

I saw it and I really liked it. I thought the acting was excellent, especially Charlize's. I think it's amazing how they got her to look almost exactly like Aileen. The story itself is quite sad. It's a shame her life had to end up like that. I mean, it's a shame she had to turn to prostitution and killing.

I don't wanna see Monster cause Charlize looks hideous in that movie hahahahahahahahahahaha. Her face is all messed up & ugly plus she has sex with Christina Ricci in the movie ughhh. I saw a few clips of Monster when Charlize was on Bravo's Inside The Actor's Studio program being interviewed by some white guy in front of a lot of people. Charlize looked so hot that day sittin on stage being interviewed. My god she is so attractive. I saw her mother in the audience while she was being interviewed. Her mom is attractive too. I'm glad Charlize won a golden globe award for Monster movie. My favorite Charlize movie is probably Reindeer Games with Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise, Clarence Williams III. I didn't like her The Devil's Advocate movie at all with Keanu Reeves & Al Pacino. It was too weird. I did like her Trapped movie with Kevin Bacon. That was a very good movie.

Though, that's basically how Aileen Wuornos looked.

I saw Monster today, and I loved it. Charlize Theron is so going to win that Oscar.

Your right she will win. The only problem I had with the film is that it was written to make Aileen Wournos seem the victim. JMO!

I agree. I got that vibe from the movie as well. Charlize Theron has faced criticism for sort of defending Aileen in interviews. I saw her on Jay Leno, and she was going on about what a rough childhood Aileen had, blah, blah, blah.

Tell that to her poor victims' families. The scene with her final victim in the movie, not a 'John', was just heartbreaking.

Extactly! I mean Charlize did a great job, but you could also say the same thing about all the other anti-social people in this world who go around killing people, "...oh they were misunderstood and the world treated them wrong..."

There was a made for T.V. movie about the murders that Charles Mansons family committed, and they did a good job of showing what a creep he was.

Really she deserves the Oscar, but Patty Jenkins should have done a better job of telling this story.

I didn't get to see this movie because it never came to my theatre

They only kept Miracle for 1 week and I wanted to see that too

Now I'm gonna have to wait for however long it is until they come out for rent.

Charlize won best actress oscar last night for Monster. Yay for Charlize. I'm happy she won cause she's a good actress & she's so cute. I didn't like her hairstyle last night.
