Absolutely dominated by Charlize Theron.

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2004)

I've never seen even a single movie of Charlize Theron. And well...there's some history behind watching this movie. I am a die hard fan of South Africa national cricket team. I also love this country very much. In the Oscar giving ceremony, Charlize Theron went to the stage, took her Oscar award and I was just watching everything on the TV screen bit carelessly. I knew she was gonna say something as everybody does; and that wasn't of some great interest to me. But when I heard her speech I just got my eyes pointed to the TV screen and thought "what the hell"! "This lady is a South African and just got the Oscar". Till then I didn't know that Charlize Theron was a South African. Her speech turned me on so much that I'll never ever forget those moments when she expressed her deepest feelings about South Africa and South African cricket team. I instantly took the decision, went out and collected the movie 'Monster'. And after watching the movie, a whole new chapter to my movie interest was disclosed. Charlize Theron absolutely dominated in the movie with her strong performance. It was obviously one of the greatest performance. No doubt about that. While watching the movie, not for a millisecond came to my mind that I was watching a movie. And you know what, within the next one week, I finished watching every single movie of Charlize Theron.
