  • Synopsis of Monster
    INTRODUCTION This thesis begins with a synopsis of the film, which will enable an analysis of the significance of this plotline for Jenkins’ ideological and creative exploration of women, agency and aggression. Synopsis of Monster: The film Monster (USA, 2003) is based on the life of Aileen Wuornos, the Florida prostitute who was one of the few documented female serial killers in the United States. The scriptwriter and director of the film, Patty Jenkins, surprisingly centered the film on a love story, instead of assuming the role of judge or advocate towards the actions of Wuornos. After a flash back sequence that recreates the childhood of Lee (Charlize Theron), the film opens as Lee meets Selby (Christina Ricci), a young and immature lesbian in a bar. Lee responds very rudely and defensively to the clumsy flirtation of Selby, as she does not think of herself as gay and her life as a prostitute has made her very hostile towards society. However, Lee opens up to Selby, as she perceives her as her last chance to find Love. Patty Jenkins cinematically evokes Lee’s hopelessness and despair before meeting Selby in order to emphasize the importance of this same-sex relationship. For Lee, Selby is the innocent child that she has to protect and save, a symbol of the child she once was herself. Inspired, she goes out to work on the highway to earn money for their first date, and a client beats her unconscious, ties her up, rapes her with a tyre iron and pours petrol over her. Fearing for her life, Lee shoots him, and then takes his car and wallet.

  • ICE - Making Predictions
    A ICE - Making Predictions What do the lines, • “What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.” • “Sex without love is an empty gesture. But as empty gestures go, it is one of the best.” and, • “When I was in school, I cheated on my metaphysics exam: I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.” all have in common? The answer is that they were all conceived by writer, actor and director Woody Allen (see Figure 11. Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn New York, he adopted the name “Woody Allen” in 1952 - a year before graduating from high school. Allen enrolled in NYU and astonishingly (given his long and critically acclaimed career as a film maker) failed the class on motion picture production. After graduating from NYU, Allen made a career as a comedy writer for television programs such as “Your Show of Shows” starring Pat Boone (see Figure 22). Figure 1: Described as a “pale, bespectacled, 120 pound neurotic,” Woody Allen has written, directed or starred in (sometimes all of the above) more than 40 feature films during a career spanning almost than 40 years. 1 Image source: http://www.ibiblio.org/mal/MO/phlim/woody/ 2 Image source: http://pages.prodigy.net/dianamorris/feat1k.htm Allen made his first professional appearance as a comedian in 1960, and between 1964 and 1965 released three comedy albums that were enthusiastically received. Also in 1965, Allen’s first motion picture “What’s New, Pussycat” was released.
