Monster

saw Monster this evening. interesting. theron certainly earned her oscar. HF described it as harrowing. i couldn't decide quite message the film was trying to give, whether a shitty upbringing/BG was a viable excuse for things, or you can't blame the past, can't make excuses...

messed with my head a bit, left me with all sorts of bad questions on the nature of rape, the effect of sex on the psyche (sounds like some shitty new age book), the victim/survivor mentality (are you a victim of abuse, or a survivor?)... just things going round and round and i want it to stop
