A flesh-and-blood film based on a true story

Before watching this movie, I didn't know the original appearance of the heroine at all, but it is precisely because of this that I can look at it fairly and without comparison. When I first watched it, it was actually a bit hard to watch, the female 1 was rude, freckled, with yellow teeth and always looked like a dick, and the female 2 had a medium haircut, thick arms and body, which was the same as usual. The kind of heroine you see must have exquisite makeup and a good figure in American movies that are completely different.
In the whole movie, there are two scenes that left the deepest impression and heartache to me. One is that female 1 "elopes" with female 2 in order to raise money. She recruits clients on the road, but she is beaten up by the client. Female 1 kills someone for the first time in self-defense. . This paved the way for the cruel murders in her future, but she did not kill every client. She actually knew what was right and what was wrong, but she felt that she could not turn back. The second scene that made me sad was when she met a very kind old man on the highway. She thought he was a whore without any accident, but the old man looked at her pitifully and offered her a place to live. She had already wanted to get off the car and leave like this Yes, if the old man didn't just keep her and let the gun in the bag accidentally fall out, the female 1 would not choose to kill her. She really doesn't have to chase herself down this dead end. I really hope that she doesn't kill the old man in the end, but let the old man help her turn her back on her wrongdoing and return to the right path. But if the plot develops like this, it falls into a rut.
In the world of Girl 1, Girl 2 is everything to her, and everything she does is for Girl 2, but in the end Girl 2 renounces her relationship with Girl 1 after Girl 1 is caught, pretending to be ignorant, and makes her Female 1 is desperate.
After watching the movie, I was very curious if the female 1 looked like this, so I went to Baidu to find the female 1, Charlize Theron, who turned out to be a big beauty, and the image in the play was very different. Approaching, deliberately gaining weight and special effects makeup, the final effect is really surprising. Her performance also earned her an Oscar for Best Actress. It really deserves its name~
Generally speaking, this is a movie that needs to be watched carefully and patiently. For children's shoes who only look at the appearance and not the plot, this movie can be passed.
