My Review-
I have always heard about Aileen Wuornos and what she did, both in the media and through commercials and previews for the movie Monster which was based on her, but his documentary gives us a better look at her as a person as well. By seeing her as a person she had a pretty messed up life growing up, with the men she was around, and I think that's why she did what she did. It is hard to believe what she was saying at times since she always changed her story, and seemed to be angry and everything the court did to her and at times I could see why she felt that way. It also seemed like she wanted to die after committing the murders but was really pissed that the state kept pushing the execution. Wuornos gives a reason to why she wants to die and it also seems like she is trying to prove a point. It also seems like she believed that the cops covered up a lot of things to make it seem like she was a serial killer, when she deemed that she was not one. I really do think that she need help before she was eventually executed for her crimes, and even before she died, she had hatred against everyone especially the cops and her mother in particular. This is a great documentary to watch, to see a serial killer how they really were and why they are not sorry for what they did. This film is streaming on Netflix so check it out. I would really like to watch Monster with Charlize Theron and see her take on Aileen Wuornos.
