How much can we give to those we love?

Lucinda 2022-03-22 09:01:38

Selby, like a spoiled child, she is young and vain, and she only knows how to take love. When Aileen fell in love with her, she might have known that she was destined to be the one who needed to give, but she might not have thought that what she gave would be everything - including her life.
Aileen said to Selby: You don't know my life, but I know yours. I do a lot of things in a messy world that you haven't heard of. So you can continue to think that people in this world are good and good, which is also very logical. do you know? Because I love everything about you!
The so-called true love may be to love all of the other party and be willing to give everything for the other party, right?
It's a pity that Selby can't afford such love. After the incident, Aileen took all the crimes alone, but Selby waved her thin arms expressionlessly in court to identify Aileen.

There are a hundred Hamlets in one hundred people's hearts. Some people see the cruelty of society in this film, some people see the sensibility of women, and some people see Charlize Theron, the actor of Aileen, to gain weight and play ugly for this film. And what I see is that Selby doesn't deserve true love.

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!

    [pause]

    Aileen: Fuck it. I'm outta here!

    Selby: Oh, are you sure-

    [touches Lee's shoulder]

    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!
