Amazing Movie, Poor Recollection of Events

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2010)

This movie is certainly in my top favourites of every movie I have ever seen. It is a phenomenal telling of a serial killer's reign and her hardships therein. Charlize Theron won best actress and deserved it completely. However, I have done extensive research into the life and crimes of Aileen Wuornos, and as Hollywood portrayed it is not how it is. This is what upset me most about the movie. The movie portrays Wuornos as a victim of assault and rape and that is what led to her first killing. This is not true. Aileen was a cold-hearted woman with no emotions nor remorse for her actions. It is only this reason that I did not enjoy the movie. Otherwise, the movie itself was intriguing. Both Theron and Ricci were stellar actresses and played heart-wrenching roles that engaged the viewers. I loved this movie and I would watch it again and again!
