And An Adjunct

Monster is not a film about environments that ferment disabling conditions so much as disabling rationalizations that fall apart for Aileen Wuornos as soon as she creates them. It is interesting to note, however, that Jenkins' framed the prostitute's remorse over the killing of the retired officer with the jump cut of Theron holding his wallet and realizing his wife was most likely paraplegic, exciting Aileen's pity, to the extent that her girlfriend's narrative is factual.
