Underneath her hard shell hides a weeping broken heart

"The Devil's Head"——Under her hard shell, there is also a crying broken heart?

I thought it was just a simple horror movie, but I didn't expect this movie to seriously move me.

Theron is a prostitute, ugly, strong, and her family has not given her any warmth since she was a child, and she came out to sell her body at the age of 13. Stop cars on the side of the road every day, and provide sex services to men in need in the car. Until one day, with only $5 on her, she wanted to end her life after a drink at the bar, but she didn't expect to meet the person who changed her life there, a rebellious and paperless little girl. She gave her the warmth she had never had before, and it was like she was constantly asking for it. Until she started killing people for all this, even killing a kind old man who wanted to help her.

And she paid all this, and in the end the girl she loved so much just betrayed and abandoned her selfishly.

Twelve years later, she was executed.

I don't care if the emotion is from the same sex, but the crying broken heart under Theron's hard shell touched me deeply. In addition to fully presenting the rude appearance that Vonos has shown the world in court, Theron has injected a softer side to the character, like a beast who has been fighting for years, occasionally stopping for a moment to lick lick the wound. She shows just the right amount of pain and injury that Warnos has endured, which makes for a rich layering throughout the film.

Do you still remember Theron, the beautiful female safe expert in "Breaking the Sky", she paid a lot for this film, gaining weight, teething, freckles, but her performance is really wonderful.

It's a real case, the murder of a road prostitute that made a big splash in the '90s.

Is she a murderous serial killer, or just a victim of this cruel world? I think the movie expresses deep sympathy for that itself.

Monster quotes

  • Aileen: Everybody just thinks I'm this bad shitty fucking person, and all I'm fucking tryin' to do is survive, you know?

    Thomas: I know. I know what you do for a living. It doesn't bother me. I know you didn't dial it up on a goddamn telephone. That's where you landed. That's what you had to do. What you're feeling right now is just guilt, over something you had absolutely no control over. You know how many of us came back from the war? And almost killed ourselves because we felt exactly the same thing you do, right now.

    Aileen: Yeah?

    Thomas: Yeah. And they'll never get it. They'll never get it now, they never got it then, and they sure as hell won't get fucking circumstance!

    Aileen: Fuck, man, circumstance, that's exactly it, that's exactly it. You know I feel like I never even had a fucking choice.

    Thomas: You never did. But you gotta live. You gotta live.

  • Aileen: [points to the bartender] You owe me change!

    Aileen: Fuck it. I'm outta here!

    Aileen: [rises from chair and pushes Selby off] GET YOUR FUCKIN' HANDS OFF ME, YOU DUMB DYKE! I'm not gonna fuck you for a fucking beer, alright? So, stop wasting your fuckin' time!
