She would give anything to get love

Jaclyn 2022-03-21 09:01:44

For a woman who grew up in such a harsh and arduous environment, many things have no choice. Even if she has a kind heart and longs for emotional nourishment and a stable life, in order to maintain her life, she must live such a dirty and rotten life. , or rather she was forced to live that life. She doesn't believe in emotions until she meets Hillary, a young family environment where she grew up in a privileged position. Irene is not les, but being nourished by Hillley's emotions is something she has never had before. She felt so good for the first time, she began to believe in life, and worked hard to overthrow the unbearable past. When getting love, you can see a prostitute with no culture and contempt from the bottom of her heart showing a warm smile. She always believes in Hillary and the so-called love. Hillley's feelings for Irene are simple and direct. She admires Irene's free life, her reckless actions, and her silly appearance. Irene's feelings for Hillary are complicated and explosive. She has never had the care of her relatives, the warmth of friendship, let alone the so-called love. She also killed her child at the age of 13, and was despised and physically abused by the world. . Getting Shirley's love freed her mixed emotions, so she exploded, and she could do anything to keep it going. Even risking his life.

When she killed the first man for self-protection, she knew she couldn't look back, "Give me a week, just a week, you will never meet me again, please, just a week. I will I'll send you back." When Erin, who was overwhelmed, panicked and helpless, said these words to Hillary after killing people, the scene was really heart-wrenching. So they start a short journey of helpless pain and happy illusions in their lives. Until the police found them, "I did something wrong, I know I did a lot of bad things, I'm really sad, I think, no one can help me, only you can help me, because you can forgive me" trembling all over Erin said incoherently to Shirley that even in her most painful moments, she still chose to send Shirley away to bear alone.

When Shirley corrected Irene expressionlessly, it was a more painful moment for Irene than the death penalty, and it was the limit of the pain that was already indescribable. At the end of the film, Irene gradually disappeared into the white light, and the inner monologue said that as long as there is life, there is hope...

(This film has been downloaded for several days because of the Internet, but the waiting for these days has not been in vain. After watching it, my heart is very uncomfortable, which proves that it is a success. I am very satisfied with Theron's performance, at least It can be seen that she has done her best and has released her best efforts. So she really deserved the award that year. And the real events adapted are worthy of the world's warning.)

Monster quotes

  • Aileen: Everybody just thinks I'm this bad shitty fucking person, and all I'm fucking tryin' to do is survive, you know?

    Thomas: I know. I know what you do for a living. It doesn't bother me. I know you didn't dial it up on a goddamn telephone. That's where you landed. That's what you had to do. What you're feeling right now is just guilt, over something you had absolutely no control over. You know how many of us came back from the war? And almost killed ourselves because we felt exactly the same thing you do, right now.

    Aileen: Yeah?

    Thomas: Yeah. And they'll never get it. They'll never get it now, they never got it then, and they sure as hell won't get fucking circumstance!

    Aileen: Fuck, man, circumstance, that's exactly it, that's exactly it. You know I feel like I never even had a fucking choice.

    Thomas: You never did. But you gotta live. You gotta live.

  • Aileen: [points to the bartender] You owe me change!
