I talked about it a lot on another thread...

In re: Monster's Ball, didn't you find it offensive that the story was about a woman whose black husband couldn't take care of her (in his own words, he was a "bad man"), who couldn't take care of herself, who couldn't take care of her son (couldn't even keep him from walking in the street and getting killed) and who has nowhere to turn and no one to turn to except a white man who has been the most racist of human beings throughout his life and his family history? And don't you find it a little facile that just getting a little from Halle Berry (who is the most beautiful woman in the world but is imo the worst actress in the world) he is suddenly transformed into a peace loving, inclusive man who locks away all his racist past into old folks homes and his attic after he has pulled the plug on his squeeze's husband?

I was disgusted. And it may sound like an exaggeration, but I honestly can't think of a film that offended me more.

xxoo :*

Peace.
