"The Devil" | Crime and Criminal are two concepts

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was full of naive dreams and hoped to become a big star. She always believed that her dream would come true one day, although she only received countless ignorance and ridicule. After the little girl grew up, her unbearable background excluded her from the social circle of her peers, and no one wanted to pay attention to her; some hateful men took her virginity and pushed her into the cold abyss. Later, the cruel life turned the girl into a vigorous rough girl, struggling to make a living among men. She thought, she was fed up with those men and would never fall in love with them again. So, fate made her meet a young girl who fell in love with her deeply. But the trick is that love did not give her redemption. When she wanted to return to the sunshine for love, it made her sink deeply into hell.



"Monster" directed by Patty Jenkins is one of the most highly rated works in 2004 and won the 76th Academy Awards and other awards.

When love ignites the enthusiasm of life, how to become a highway in the process of chasing love and competing with the cruel life itself. Killer Devil.

In reality, soon after Irene Warnoth was born, her 16-year-old mother divorced her father, and then she was thrown by her mother for adoption by her grandparents. At the age of 11, she was involved in the use of sex-trading cigarettes, drugs and food at school, and had sex with her elder brother. Her maternal grandfather often molested her. At the age of 14, Irene became pregnant-the product of rape by her grandfather's friend. Less than a few months after the birth of her son, she dropped out of school and was swept out by her grandfather. After that, she married a 69-year-old man, but divorced soon afterwards, and was arrested several times for drunk driving, theft, and shooting with a gun. During this period, she met Moore, a waitress in a gay bar, and the two quickly moved in together and supported their lives with the proceeds of sex work that Irene solicited on the road. In the end, when Irene was arrested for murder, it was Moore who provided the key evidence. And until she was finally executed, Irene still believed that More was still in love with her. In the examination of the mental illness checklist, Irene scored 32 points (total score 40). Generally, a score of 25 or more can be judged as a psychopath. In the movie, Patty and Theron used admirable courage and kindness to artistically shape and perform this role, giving this woman who committed seven lives a full understanding (not tolerance). Deeply portray her constant desire and attempt to overcome the "irresistible" fate, as well as the tragic reality of all kinds of discrimination and contempt against her by the real society.

Irene Warnos’s girlfriend’s corresponding movie character is Sellby Wall (Sellby Wall) , Played by Christina Rich. Warnoth and Hibir met in a gay bar and quickly fell in love. In order to be alone with her lover, Warnos is more actively recruiting customers on the highway to make money. But in one of the transactions, she met a sexually abusive man. In self-defense, she shot him and took his money and car. With this, she had the first sum of money to stay in a hotel with Hibir for a long time. The innocence of the lover made Warnos see the dawn of hope, and rekindled the desire for life, she began to try to find a formal job to support each other. But all the serious work units rejected her on the grounds that she had a criminal record and did not have a college degree, even when she finally confided her true feelings to a black female receptionist, she couldn't get understanding and help.



After living together, the eighteen-year-old Hibir step by step outlined her beautiful fantasy of life and love to Irene-care, parties, houses, shopping, accessories, playgrounds and even the villa on the beach. When she was in an economic dilemma, she asked Irene why she didn't continue prostitution to make money. After knowing that Irene had killed someone, she also asked Irene to insist on finishing the last job-get a car. The lover's desire for "sweet dreams" also pushes Irene farther and farther.

Charlize Theron’s performance in this film is very impressive. She has makeup in the film to make it close to the real image of Irene Warnos, but during the whole film process, we seem to have no See the actor with makeup-only the original Erin Warnos. This is especially reflected in her control over her eyes and limbs: when she goes to see her lover, she washes her body carefully, and from time to time secretly looks at herself in the mirror in the room and then shows her proud eyes; when bargaining in different men’s cars The looks and gestures are so natural; the inner confusion, fear and madness when the bullet was shot for the first time, and the forced conversion in front of his girlfriend... The expression and body are truly and in place.

In the love of the protagonists, Irene is the protector and supplier, proudly responsible for supporting the family and striving to satisfy Hibir's desire. Even though she has experienced countless devastations, this woman still has a beautiful scenery in her heart, and love is the only source of this scenery that can supply her whole life. At the beginning of the film, Irene walked into the bar and said inwardly that she only had five dollars. If God could not guide her to spend the money on the blade, she would choose to commit suicide. By coincidence, the immature-looking little girl Hibir showed kindness to her, chatting, touching and complimenting-finally Irene met an oasis, although this oasis was too immature, ignorant and vain. Irene is a straight daughter, but for a low-level sex worker, her love—if it exists—has absolutely nothing to do with sex. She has detested sex and hated those men. Hibir, a rebellious and charming girl, has always been well protected by her parents, without socialized accidents and contempt for prostitutes. She is immature and selfish. Her love may stem from such a hope-a kind of truth that exists in the script-accidental encounters, uniqueness, romantic love, independent residence, wooden horses and Ferris wheels , Beach and villas. She gave her understanding love, but she didn't understand life and didn't care where Irene's money came from. Her ignorance and unreliability should be attributed to human nature or too young? Before everything happened, it could be said that it was because she was too young, but after everything happened, when she excused Irene for her crimes, when she forced Irene to confess Hibir's own sin in the name of love, was she still a reason to be young?



Love urges Irene to go to prostitution to make money; the maliciously sexually abused man cut the bottom line in Irene's heart, triggering her extreme aversion to physical trading since her childhood and the explosion of grief and indignation that has been bullied for a long time. After the first killing in self-defense, she defended herself with fear in her heart. However, once the bottom line is broken, it is no longer the bottom line, but becomes a window for venting-Irene's desire for love and a window for men's revenge. Irene has only one friend, a Vietnam War veteran (Bruce Dern, Bruce Dern), who gives help as much as he can as an elder. But for the people at the bottom, the mutual consolation of the same people who have fallen from the world is not worthwhile-the mainstream of society, especially the decent class, is still full of contempt and hostility towards them. The most tear-jerking scene is the death of a good man (Scott Wilson, Scott Wilson), who was originally intended to give the lone woman a ride, admonish and help her. Irene was obviously moved, her eyes were full of entanglement and pain, and even a little trembling, but there was no time for her to think, Hibil urged for a car. She also convinced herself that in order to cover up the previous sins, he must die. If he showed up when she was still young, helped her find a job, or sent her to school, life would become more plain but happy. This kind of salvation came too late after all.



We hate criminals, if we discriminate against low-level workers, we should, because of their crimes and low-level occupations. But crimes and bad jobs do not mean this person. As famous film critic Roger Ebert’s ingenious comment: “I began to realize that it is actually a manifestation of the virtue of love in theology. It refuses to treat Warnos and her story rigidly—on the contrary, it insists Regarding her as a creation of God, she deserves our attention. She was cruelly distorted by life, and it seemed that she could no longer have a heart for kindness, but when she felt love for the first time in her life, she still tried to do something better. Good people." This should be the most inspiring aspect of the film. There are also many reports on Warnoth’s crimes in the country. According to the usual routine, the crimes are listed, the anti-social and psychopaths are condemned, and the "female killer" is used as a gimmick to attract traffic. This phenomenon should not continue.

We have many so-called "losers" in every environment in our lives, but our attitude is not optimistic. To give a common example: in school, students with good grades tend to look down on students from the bottom, students from rich families tend to look down on students from poor families, students from prestigious schools tend to look down on students from non-prestigious schools—some lucky schools will enlighten them. But more places allow this kind of discrimination to permeate. After many years, how many disadvantaged groups can achieve "counter-attack"? How many people have to bear long-term depression and resentment? What kind of powerful negative energy will these seemingly insignificant losses and emotions diffuse? But relatively speaking, the students in this example are still happy. They at least have the right to continue to receive basic education and be protected. At least they have family and friends-life still gives them a lot of positive help.

However, on Irene's battlefield, she was alone, without comrades in arms, and without sufficient wisdom and knowledge weapons. With bare hands, she was reckless and impulsive, using violence to destroy the victims and their families, as well as destroying herself. Her behavior is unforgivable, but everything she does has her reasons-and these reasons are the most important part of the film's attempt to convey.
