Charlize's performance in Monster is one of the best Oscar winning performances of all time! She deserved the Oscar!
maybe one of the greatest cinematic portrayals of all time, out of this world.
Amazing! As good as Al Pacino in Scarface!
@@scootergirl_cookies it’s a little bit different tho scareface is a fictional character Aileen wourmos isn’t
I agree! Charlize Theron totally fitted the part of Aileen Wuornos in Monster! Every time I watch that movie it amazes me how they made Charlize look very similar to the real Aileen Wuornos.
I just re-watched this, I am still stunned! Complete transformation into that character. Wow.
That movie is unbelievably sad.
She didn't deserve what happened to her! Charlize Theron won an oscar
The movie is amazing and thought provoking, but her LIFE is what is sad. This woman LIVED this 24/7. We only saw less than 2 hours.
And real... That's the sad part...
cultfan 52 and unbelievable truthful.
cultfan 52 Very Sad Movie. She found love for the first time in her life. I’m glad she was happy with her Partner, for the good times they were together.
I study criminal psychology and spent quite a bit of time studying the Aileen Wuornos case. Charlize Theron's performance in 'Monster' blew me away. She nailed it! I think Aileen herself would have been impressed. Charlize is such an incredible actress. The Wuornos case was heartbreaking in many ways. I feel that she was victimized throughout her entire life, thrown away by everyone in her life. I don't believe murder is ever the answer, but I do think the guy who raped her deserved it. All rapists deserve to die in my biased opinion, as a victim myself. Aileen needed help. Instead, she was given death. There are people in prison for life that committed far worse crimes! It was as if they wanted to make an example out of her to feed the media frenzy. Even her beloved girlfriend signed movie deals and threw her under the bus. I didn't know that Patty actually spoke to Aileen, etc. Somehow that makes me love the film even more. Charlize really transformed herself and got into the mind of Aileen Wuornos unlike anyone else in Hollywood could. Ive always loved that they went on location and did the scenes at the actual bar where Aileen was arrested. They did the movie right and I think they really did Aileen and the world a service by showing us the true story as never depicted before. I saw a 1992 film called 'Overkill: The Aileen Wuornos Story' (if memory serves.). While the film was well cast, I found 'Monster' to be a far superior film.
If you studied the Wuornos case as well as you say you did, you would know that the rape scene from the movie was based off of a false story Aileen threw together on the court room and wasnt real.
@@viktormorra8274 Whers does it say that it was a false story? i know the case very well and have never heard it was false testimony????
@@HannahWithNoBananas she says so herself in the documentary "the selling of a serial killer" bu Nick Broomfield.
Either that doc. Or "the life and death of a serial killer" both by nick broomfield tho
willfade 79 quite frankly I wish Aileen would have gotten to see the movie before she died and I wonder what emotional if any impact it would have had for her.
This interviewer is beyond rude. He constantly cuts both Charlize and Patty off mid sentence.
he was ousted as sex fiend and propositioning women over the years. he was fired and rejected. totally made unwelcome in the industry.
lmao thank you for pointing that out, i was getting so annoyed at him. I don't think he really "mansplains" in this but same vibe you know? One of those guys
I was so irritated trying to listen to the women speak and he continually cuts them off! Ugh I was almost ready to stop watching ! Worst interviewer ever ... ask the question and let them answer it...don’t interrupt someone when they’re speaking
Yeah, this didn’t age well for Charlie. Knowing he was a sexist, misogynistic, person comes out in his interview style.
this woman is perhaps the prettiest woman of all time.
I agree. She is a hundred times more beautiful than Angelina Jolie.
Sharon Stone is up there as well as Julia Roberts in my opinion.
A lot of South African girls are very pretty :)
Agree
Idk Gal Gadot, Margot Robbie, Demi Moore are pretty damn fine. Too name a few
I wish he would let them talk after asking a question lol
He seems weird
i was thinking the same thing.. he loves the sound of his own voice.
@@cinnamongirl5410 he saw himself in one of those victims I guess😂
@Haha Mouse not always
He should try doing that with Quentin Tarantino
Her portrayal of her was excellent, the mannerisms....everything
Love Charlize Theron. She's such a great actress. It doesn't surprise me one bit she won that oscar. So well deserved!
I just watched this on Netflix for the first time. I just cannot get over how amazing Charlize was. Mind blown.
mine too
Frankly, considering what Eileen had to endure at the hands of the perpetrators, execution was too harsh a sentence.
Visionery1 I agree. I think Eileen should’ve been locked up in a mental institution for life, not given the death penalty. Listen, in the cases of John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy, people like that, I believe they got what they deserved. Eileen of course should’ve never killed anyone, but she seemed to me anyway to have severe mental illnesses as a result of a horrible life. I know not everyone with a horrible life kills people, and that’s a very good point. I’ve just always been conflicted on this case in particular.
@@jessica_jam4386 Those people were mentally ill as well. Also, the majority of the men she killed did not even rape her, so stop excusing it just because she is a woman.
I do think that if David Berkowitz got to live then she should have been given the same oppurtunity.
She killed innocent people. Also the rape scene that was portrayed in the movie isn’t a fact anymore than Santa’s existence is. Unfortunately after she killed the guy she didn’t do the right thing and notify authorities so she could have gotten a rape kit and proven it was self defense.
If these men never did that to Eileen when she was young she never would've murdered. She is not the same as the rest. She was damaged beyond belief so young.
She's not the same as the rest? Not all but most serial killers, including men were abused as children and also have serious mental issues. Wuornos had no less than 3 mental disorders. Her criminal career began with petty crime and later assault and finally murder. It's quite typical for a career criminal.
She was absolutely PHENOMENAL in the film! It’s like she morphed into a completely different person! And yet she was so humble about it here. She was born to be an actress and no one could ever top her portrayal of Aileen. She put her entire heart and soul into the performance. So truly deserved the Academy Award!
My heart has always gone out to Aileen. She had a horrifying life from the very beginning, never had a childhood, was betrayed by so many people, violated by so many men, and didn’t have one compassion person in her life. She was truly a damaged soul. I hope she is finally at peace now.
By all accounts she did have one compassionate person in her life. Her husband whom she married when she was 21. He was much older and claimed she would beat him with his own cane. He divorced her. Interestingly this was not depicted in this overly sympathetic crock of sh*t movie.
Charlize was just unbelievable in this movie.
It's clear to me that Charlize was attracted to this film because of her mother killing her father. What a way to channeling a negative experience into a great piece of art. One of the best performances on screen EVER. And I collect classic film so I know good movies.
TS Xtina Her mother killed her father for self defense, remember? Just saying. Pretty sure her mother killing him to protect herself and her daughter is pretty much less traumatic to her than if her father would have stayed alive and done something to someone. Just saying, you got very good view, but it's like if you were blaming her mother... Sorry if I understood wrong and if that's the case I take my words back.
Charlize killed him. I thought
@@mimosaparkkonen8296 I'm not passing judgement in any way. I'm saying I can see how she could relate to this material and what a great job she did.
What a performance it is a shame Aileen wasn't alive long enough to see it
I think that was the greatest performance I ever saw.
Monster was one of the few films where I became so immersed in her story that I could totally relate to why she did the things she did. I could see why she did what she did and I felt her vulnerability the entire time. Not many films have had such a huge impact on me like that.
agreed
If you can relate to why she murdered seven men in cold blood then you need to seek psychiatric help. The movie was from the perspective of making a serial killer the victim.
@@mortimerbrewster3671the serial killer was raped repeatedly from the time she was a child.
One of the best performances in cinema history!
Charlize was awesome in this movie....and so was Selby....Christina.
I love the sensitivity and nuance with which they approached this. I don't like the black-and-white moralism of the judicial/prison/police system. i feel that if you dive into people and their motives the way they did with Aileen Wuornos, you can start to understand them, and why they had the range of choices they did, and why they maybe made them. You shouldn't wait for someone to commit an atrocity to "solve" it with imprisonment or execution. We should think what kind of society created this person in the first place. And they never try to excuse the atrocities Aileen committed. But they tried to understand, and that's the meaning of compassion
This is one of my high rated movies among many
This movie checked so many levels on the filmmaking skill it was nuts how well they did
hey charlie, let them finish a sentence before talking over them smh
Hey, Charlie. Don't listen to her.😏
Charlize looked exactly like Eileen Wornos in the movie monster I love the movie. She was her to the T you picked a perfect actress to play Eileen Wornos. Perfect actress the make up unreal in a great way.
So much respect for Patty Jenkins!! She's a rare kind of compassionate person! I'm so thankful for people like her! So beautiful that she did this!
I found the interviewer is so offensive and can’t be less interested but it could not shadow how beautiful and insightful the other two souls.
Great interview !
Charlize Theron did absolute justice to Aileen Wuornos....I got absolutely blown away with her sad sad role...
Aileen Wuornos would be proud of "Monster"...Im sure she'll be in a better place now...May her soul R.I.P
Yeah this is unbelievable sad toooooooo nearly cried
Charlize looks stunning with the black background !
her performance was wonderful and the oscar was rightfully deserved by her. had she not won it, i would picket.
Charlize Theron was not just playing Aileen wuornos. She was Aileen wuornos. She played that great of a role in the Movie Monster.
This is what makes a great performance the actress who focuses on the nuances because it’s those nuances that give the character depth
Charlize Theron did an amazing job playing Aileen Wuornos 💯👏 she went over and beyond playing that role, she even gained a lot of weight to look the part!!!
This is the worst interviewer, so disrespectful.
I'm crushing on Patty ❤️
She is a great actress.
she was amazing in, "Monster" she looked and acted just like the real person
I’m in love with Patty Jenkins!
This dude keeps interrupting them. Its frustrating.
GREAT ACTING PHENOMENAL
Charlize Theron is wise beyond her years and incredibly talented. Filmed 'Monster" at age 27/28. Speaking in this interview at age 28 or 29.
Charlize nailed this role. Her transformation into Aileen was breathtakingly accurate. She truly captured the essence of this tortured soul.
The fact that she looked and acted like the actual person was just freaking amazing, not to mention down right scary to match ehat she looked like freaking identical twins....
Do we know what scenes they showed?
Amazing team
I was just thinking about Geena Davis.
She would have played the part very well too.
Gary James, yes! I hadn't thought of Davis, but you are absolutely right.
"All you need is love and to believe in yourself and then there's nothing you can't do!". God, I love that scene -: it exonerates my cynical sinking heart-reaction to sunny Facebook memes & lying bumper stickers.
I suppose there's some 'threat to copyright' reason why the clips from the movie weren't included here. It sucks just the same.
*Charlize Theron is an incredible actress, the whole way through this all you can think is wow!.. She is amazing in The Devil's Advocate 1997 also, best female actress of all time.*
I don't think this guy gets it *at all*!! 🤦♀️🙄 8.40 where Charlize says that Aileen talked about getting raped like she was getting an ice cream, and he says, like it was something that just happened, as if it was matter of fact. No. BIG difference between someone who talks about something that happens to them in a detached way because it's too huge to deal with vs someone who accepts something and is okay with it. I think this interviewer is mistaking the former for the latter. #yikes 😝 People often talk about their traumas in a detached way because people's lack of sensitivity or acknowledgement of what a painful or scary thing it was to endure can, in itself, be traumatizing. I think they also look for people's response to see if they get it. This douche looks like he doesn't get it at all. 😳 We can sympathise with this woman without agreeing with her actions. We can emphasize with her circumstances and the rotten cards she was dealt over and over. It doesn't make what she did okay, but it does help us to understand, and maybe we can help another such a person from going off the rails in future. I'm glad these two bright, intelligent women get it, and most of the rest of us seem to too, at least, even if the interviewer doesn't seem to. That kind of blindness is part of the problem. Condemning someone for their actions without understanding why. Again, it may not make it okay, but if may make it understandable at least. Poor Aileen. Had no one to advocate for her her whole life. Such a tragedy. Again, still not okay. But a tragedy nonetheless. 🙏💫
The man asking a question and not letting her complete her response is annoying.
Where are the clips?
copy-write law
This interviewer was terrible! He constantly asks then doesn’t listen. Ugh!
Oh my god I hate how much the interviewer interrupts Patty and Charlize
These 2 are awesome as a Director/Actor double-act.
I don't think there are actually very many incredible performances in the mountains of film shot around the world - Theron's monster, however, was one of those few.
She did such an amazing job!
Does somebody have the journalist's name ?
If they can make Theron look like Wournos, could they have made Wournos look like Theron?? Brilliant film!
That's exactly what I was thinking!
JPM42 One of the best character actresses in the business!
+Carol Coates She certainly is.
Carol Coates wournos wasnt ugly if she was a star she'll be pretty too so to answer ur question yes but they didnt have to do anything if she was a stat she'll be pretty
Drunk By U I think you misunderstand! Wournos WAS very unattractive and Theron is naturally beautiful. Unless you are a make-up artist, the question will remain unsolved.
This film really showed how perverted men actually think prostitutes enjoy dirty sex. The role was played so well & you could see the fear ,the terror & the discust of the real woman each time she had to allow these sick men to use her & de humanize her & each time she had to be with a John, how much she began to hate these disgusting pigs that brutalized her. She was abused all her life to the extent of snapping. Most ppl could never understand the brutality she went thru. I believe in her mind she couldn't take it anymore & the men that used her should've been the ones executed.
I don't think she could've ever healed from what she went thru. But she wasn't the monster. They should've helped her. After being abused most of her life, in the end, she was
Abused for being abused.
God rest her precious soul.
Why didn’t they show the damn scene they are talking about?!
copy-write
incredibly sad but interesting educational 🎥
i thought Charlize Theron's portrayal of Aileen Wuornos was absolutely brilliant. playing her without make up, fancy clothes etc was brill too. i'm not sure how i feel about Eileen herself, i did respect her openness tho, but as i say not sure if she was actually as evil as told, don't think she deserved the death penalty tho. well done Charlize
Why not show the movie clips? Why cut them out? 🤦♂️
because charlie rose is too tight... he would have to pay for that....
My Japanese BF thought I was joking abou Charlize playing wournos, but when I showed him the movie MONSTER he was shocked and taken aback. Then screaming like a teenager "Charlize you look so scary" 😂
Great movie. If you haven’t seen it. Check it out
I'm a recovering heroin addict, I hustled in the streets of Providence from 1998- 2005, jumping in and out of cars, used to hang in front of video/book stores for money to get off E.
Im almost ten yrs clean today
I can tell you this, cops, Christians, priests, and married men are the most dangerous predators.
I understand what happened to Lee
I lived it
I'm healthy and clean and living with the love of my life (my gf) She is my Angel , sent from another place
We can , and we do recover
Aileen is your angel? Wow you all really victimize anyone with a sad story. Even serial killers. That's pathetic.
@@DavidKen878
I said I was living with the love of my life ( my gf) can you read moron?
I believe she's referring to her girlfriend as her "angel"
Wournos did not deserve the death penalty. Life in prison yes. But not death. She was so damaged and traumatised, and that can actually change your neurology. I’m amazed this was not cited as mitigation.
I don’t usually go for films about serial killers because I don’t believe in glorifying them or making them famous, but I think her story needed to be told.
I don’t agree with what she did, obviously. But I think it’s clear she did it because she herself had been utterly failed by her society, and her case should be enough to stop the death penalty.
Charlize Theron was incredible in this role. She earned that Oscar and then some!
She was awesome 👌
Rose didn't ask Charlize anything about the actual filming of especially that first murder. It should've been automatic that he'd want to know what that experience was like for her. Doing the job that he does on TV, how could he have watched the movie and not wondered??
Charlize is a very good actress I seen many of her movies. I must say I was totally taken off guard when someone told me that it was you in Monster and I said oh no that's not her that woman is really ugly.. I was used to seeing you do J'adore commercial song I was stunned when someone said that that was you I couldn't believe it. It takes a very strong person to make a decision to do a movie like this.
A beautiful, profound, and touching, but amazingly, for whatever reason, forgotten movie. My DVD copy looks like a bootleg, even though it's legit. This movie represents movie making at it's very best: why is it so low profile - it got an academy award for best lead actor in Charlize Theron for f***s sake. Anyway, great movie. R.
I’m gay but this woman it’s brilliant, very good actress and gorgeous 🌹❤️
Do you like the girls too? Your instagram?
What does your being gay have to do with this movie? Lol
Lucky man, two beautiful women, I'm sure I saw a glimpse of Patti in one of the documentaries nearer to Aileen's last day!
I Love Charlize
I wish Patty Jenkins had brought this kind of character complexity to Wonder Woman. I wonder why the villains of Wonder Woman were so poorly written when she clearly has a very intelligent understanding of how to portray the human motivations of even the "worst" people.
because the studio sets the rules
Charlize is incredible ❤
Hardly mentioned the murder victims
2018 ?! MONSTER IT'IS GREAT FILM
شروق شروق 2019!
2020!!!
2021
2022
Reading comments. Disappointed at the shallowness of the majority of the comments. Probably mostly Lifetime and/or LMN fans.
Years ago my brother really love that scene and her gf was so jealous of the love scene, kinda funny they broke up on that movie , lucky for us the bieaachi is out.
By far Charlize’s BEST work, period.
It's funny how a misery of some becomes a success for others , this world is crazy, if this woman hadn't been a serial killer, Charlize wouldn't have had wun an oscar by now...isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Lupita Nyong'o actually mentioned the exact same thing in her Oscar speech. " It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s." I think Charlize noticed that, as well, but it'll be weird to give credit to a serial killer.
Patty was and still is gorgeous! Wow!!!
Let them talk, dude!!
Charlize Theron literally became Aileen Wuornos, an absolute embodiment. One of the most greatest and finest acting of all time.
I am in love with Julian Sands.
Charlize is looks 👀so beautiful 👩❤️her 👩
Beautiful woman !!
Monster Charlie Rose ...
I love Charlize, but this is not one of her best interviews. She’s matured a lot when it comes to being interviewed over the years; or perhaps she wasn’t ready for this particular interview. Practice makes perfect 👌
Its 2022 and Charlize looks younger than in this video lol
A bit disgusting how many people profited at the expense of Aileen Wuomos tragic life.
I have an inside video of the Las Resort on my channel and it's awesome and so is the owner, Al.
Charlize really thinks before she says something. She has to be I guess..
charlize is a tour de force
Charlize so gorgeous
Congratulations Patty Jenkins... you did good. Really really good. That poor soul, imagine being treated so badly. And that girlfriend of hers... making money off this sad life, is even worse crime!
Poor soul?
Woah, I bet Charlize Theron made a killing off of this movie!!!
Aileen shouldn't have been out to death, she had so many mitigating circumstances.....grew up in hell and was basically tortured. Yes jail for life but death was a witch hunt. Also her representation was woeful to say the least
Everyone forgets that psychopathics women exist and not just men😲
