Review of Monster's Ball (2001) by Mouhannad S — 10 Dec 2010
'Monster's Ball' is a tale of a racist white man, Hank, who falls in love with a black woman named Leticia. Ironically Hank is a prison guard working on Death Row who executed Leticia's husband. Hank and Leticia's interracial affair leads to confusion and new ideas for the two unlikely lovers.
What impressed me the most about Monster's Ball was the very,very high quality of intimate scenes between the two leads....The actors created an environment of authenticity....it seemed like no acting, it was so natural. They did themselves proud...
Halle Berry was indeed great in this role. I believe that she very much deserved her award for best actress. I think, however, it is Billy Bob Thornton's movie. He is just brilliant.
Otherwise, this is a different and touching drama.I really liked it .
