- I can't believe I didn't recognise Charlize Theron, what an incredible actress!!! and I'm not making any excuses for Aileen, as she made her own choices, but I can't help feeling she was let down in so many ways.

I love this film. Eileen had a very sad life. She’s the only serial killer that actually breaks my heart, she never stood a chance from birth.
Well she's in a worse place now,Your sympathy isn't going help her
@@aadilharoon1807and you know that, how?
If God is good, then he’d of seen the life she had,& he’d be more understanding ,, your god seems bad. My one isn’t!
@@Tiffanylouisekelly Boohoo didn't give her right to murder unjustly,Your God is lucifer
One of the greatest performances in the history of cinema.
It's interesting watching this and the Nick Bloomsfield documentary on her. Neither are excusing her criminal actions, but where MONSTER is more about showing how a human being can become a "monster", the documentary pretty much shows Wuroaos (screwed up the spelling I know) was truly mad by the end of her life, which brings on another topic of the thin line between "reason of insanity" and "full comprehension of their actions" that often "saves" or "condemns" a criminal.
Both are fascinating watches, but sadly, too many critics focused on Theron changing her physical "beauty" and not focusing on how WELL she emulated this real life woman (watching both films back to back, it's no wonder Theron won the Oscar; she nearly caught the whole person in her performance).
Finally! Someone who reacted to this film! I've waited so long for a reaction so thank you for that, and thank you for actually watching it, some just talk all the way through, I know it's a reaction but talking so much just means they miss so much. This film is very true to what happened, I mean we'll never know what happened when she was alone with the John's but it's pretty true to real events. You really should take a look at Aileen: life and death of a serial killer
Thanks for that, it means a lot. ☺
Yes. The documentary is very interesting.
Hats off to the actress who portrayed Aileen she did a PHENOMENAL job! Oml!!!
Agreed
Charlize Theron was amazing as Aileen, and she rightfully won the Oscar.
Totally agree & I hate to insult the actress but She actually looks ALOT like the real woman Again hate to insult her like that….She did a great job 👏
@@mereassassinates550 yeah the makeup artist was good as well. The actress really nailed Aileens mannerisms an voice
@@james-nw9up My only complaint would be The girlfriends actress was missing a couple pounds but For time period I don’t think there was any actresses that fat….I’ll let it pass
Also the ending Aileen knew the cops were listening and loved her so much she admitted to everything to keep her out of trouble
Thank you for reacting to this, not enough do. I actually feel for Aileen, rare case of empathy regarding a serial killer.
Agreed, though there’s no excuse for her killing innocent people in cold blood even though she had a hell filled life.
Save for maybe the first one
@RB01.10 I guess it's true we don't know the actual nature of these men and if they were cruel to her, they probably were but we just don't know. I'd feel for anyone in this kind of scenario, regardless of gender. Idk if I can think of a male serial killer that went through something similar or not
The rape scene was a lot ....I needed a drink after this movie, till this day it's the only movie I needed a drink after seeing it
@@RB01.10 her first victim was actually accused of rape in Maryland...they didn't know that fact right away. I believe he was really raping and hurting her I also believe the cop who wanted a sexual favor is true.
I'm shocked this movie doesn't have more reactions
Still the greatest actress performance I’ve ever seen
Another uplifting film amy!! 🤪🤪
Always! 😂
Uplifting?? 🤔🤔
If the first killing is how it really happened, he deserved that. My God that was awful to watch. That was the straw that made her snap. She believed all men were gonna hurt her even though they clearly were not. Charlize was phenomenal in this film.
Real life aileen claimed she killed her first victim because he tried to rape her. According to a youtuber he was in prison for ten years for raping another individual.
So while it can never be said for certain there's a high likelyhood that is in fact how the first killing happened.
Amy, you are brave for watching this. I had the same vibes.
Thanks for reacting to this amazing film. Also, how is Christina Ricci so cute while also being such a bratty lil freeloader?
I know, right?! I think it's the cute side smile she does 😆
This pisses me off cause it could've been avoided
Charlize won an oscar for her role in this
Rest In Peace “Aileen wournos” ❤️🐐☮️wish she wasn’t sentenced to death fr!
Her life was terrible I do feel bad for her and I don’t blame her for killing that first guy but the ones after is where I can’t get past what she did. I just wish anyone who is going through anything similar gets help from people. You can tell that if Aileen knew you she would be so nice and funny to be around.
You know the gun she uses in the movie is the real gun she used in real life, even though it looks like a huge hand gun thats powerful, it wasnt, it was only a 22 calibre which is a tiny bullet, generally used for hunting small animals or target practice, where with a 45 calibre would only take 1 or 2 bullets to kill a man quickly, she had to shoot them 5 or 6 times sometimes more to bleed them out and kill them with such a under powered weapon, brutal way to go :(
So she’s holding the same gun Aileen had? I thought the police kept that
@@Tiffanylouisekelly No sorry i word it wrong, its not that exact same gun she used, it was the same make and model, and also looked beat up and old like in the movie
Quite the opposite of a feel-good movie. She ventured way beyond the point of redemption when executing a man who just wanted to help her. The typical rationale being that responsibility is diminished for those who suffered evil themselves, but my perspective is that not all these people turn out bad, And this is the true test of life and one's character. If you are truly a good person, you overcome it, Aileen did not.
Wish you all the best for 2024! Good health and lots of happiness.
Really enjoying these! Wish you had a Patreon! Do you ever take suggestions? Or is your agenda pretty much planned out?
Maybe one day. I have two lists: one of films I want to see and the other of suggestions. I like to see if the same suggestions pop up, but I normally go based on my mood or the person who wants to watch a film that day. Thanks for being so supportive!
@@amylorraine3776 sure! If you ever get around to Rain Man, I suspect you'd love it. With a young Tom Cruises and Dustin Hoffman, who won best actor for it. It also won best picture and basically cleaned up at the Oscars that year. Drama/comedy and an emotional roller coaster.
Please continue drinking Coca-Cola. It's awesome.
It's pure comedy!😂
Hey my Friend, can you react to "Christine" (1983) by Stephen king & John Carpenter. Great movie & insane story. Thanks 💐
Thank you, you are the first one to do a reaction to this movie
The actress who depicted Eileen is amazing
The real story is just as sad if not worse
And i noticed that people treat this woman as a demon and pratically idolize other serial killers that are men, which is incredibly weird and hypocritical.. idk of it has anything to do with her being gay or if its because she's a woman.. cause I don't see other women serial killers who aren't gay being seen and looked at with such disgust and judgement the same way eileen is looked at
I'm sorry but after someone is r**p*d and abused by the opposite gender so that times, I can't blame that someone for hating that gender.. it's perfectly understandable. Let's not forget the men she killed were disgusting men who killed, abused women, r***ed and hit hookers, etc.. I feel 0 empathy for the actual monsters, they had it coming. In the end they managed to corrupt a woman..since childhood, into another monster
The way I see it is, after her first kill in self defense, it was the last straw all the trauma went to a boiling point. She also started feeling what real affection felt like from her girlfriend at the time so she started thinking it was alot easier to kill and rob the next men than to humiliate herself again for those p🐷gs. After the first kill in self defense which was justifiable and understandable, her next kills can be argued to not be justifiable. For me it's still justifiable because if the types of men that became her "victims"
I totally agree. I just watched an interview where they tried to make her look crazy. I went from feeling sad for her to feeling complete anger towards the people who were pulling this narrative. She seemed very down-to-earth and self-aware to me. I do wonder if she would have been sentenced the same if she looked like a Barbie doll. 😥
@@amylorraine3776what was the interview called?
You look like Jodie Comer!
Gotta say... uglifying Charlize Theron like that is a feat.
❤Hello
Shelby character has to be the most entitled egocentric person ever...wow. lol!
Best actor ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please stop drinking Coca-Cola, it's terrible for you. Love your reactions, take a look at I love you to Death with Kevin Kleine and Tracy Ullman. As an Italian, it's gold.
Please stop telling strangers how to live.
That’s not your call to make….
