Monsters Ball
****/5

It’s truly a small world that we live in. Nowhere is this more evident than in the film “Monster’s Ball”. There are critics that would denounce this film’s story as being unrealistic. How could Hank Growtowski a racist corrections officer, supervise the execution of a black man, and then fall in love with that man’s widow? How could that same officer played by Billy Bob Thornton, hate his son so much that he would standby and watch as that son ended his life? Well to those critics I say only one thing: it might be unlikely, but it could very well happen. “Monster’s Ball” is a movie that truly pushes boundaries. It is a film that asks audiences to feel sympathy for characters that are a step above lowlifes. Yet when a cast gives performances that are so impassioned that we can feel empathy for the characters that they portray, and when writers and directors put their best foot forward as well they usually produce a film that has some sort of hold on us. “Monster’s Ball” is that film we just can’t seem to forget. We can’t forget Halle Berry’s character, the newly widowed Leticia Musgrove. Berry’s portrayal of an emotionally bankrupt woman who always seems to be teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown is disturbingly vivid yet graceful as well. Heath Ledger who plays Billy Bob Thornton’s son in the movie is not given much screen time, however he certainly leaves an indelible mark on the entire feature. As strange as it may seem “Monster’s Ball” leaves a similar type of imprint on all those who watch it. It is a small world after all.
