So touching a movie!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2020)

Some lives do appear to be sad and wasted! Aileen Wuornous is an example of one of them. I have had a challenged life; but I have chosen never to kill anyone. I hurt for Aileen's trials (abandoned by her mom, molested as a minor) but I have to feel more sorry for the victims. This movie is said to have some fiction to it. Selby is fictional; but Wuornos' real life girl friend knew the more inside of things. Still I like the way it's portrayed. I like the way they showed her attempting to go straight. It did show that she wasn't realistic about it though. There are jobs she could have started off with (dishwasher, housekeeping in hotels are some examples). The movie showed that being a hooker was what she knew best. That part is sad but it's reality. I feel that Shelby was caught in the middle and had no choice in the end but to testify against Eileen. Great movie. Charlize Theron, an actress who I am a fan of, so deserved her award for this.
