5.0 out of 5 stars Movie
Best movie I've seen
5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable product
Good dvdno scratches
5.0 out of 5 stars Dvd
Shame movie I love it
5.0 out of 5 stars Well handled subject matter
Given the somber subject matter, it was handled very well, putting a human face on it. Acting was excellent.
4.0 out of 5 stars Halle Berry at her best!
I saw "Monster's Ball" in the movie theatre. I felt then that it was a good movie, but the key reason I even went to see it in theatres is because Halle Berry, one of my all-time favorite actresses, was starring in it. I have seen most of Halle's movies, and I can attest to the fact that this is, acting-wise, her best film. Halle is an outstanding actress, but I have never really seen her give her all, until now. Halle really went all out for this movie, and she deserved the Oscar. Although I don't think it's fair that so many African-American actresses before Halle have done phenomenal jobs in movies and never received an Oscar, but Halle shined in this film and that Oscar had her name on it as far as I'm concerned. The ranting and raving about Halle had to be foremost, however, the entire cast did a great job. Billy Bob Thornton, Heath Ledger, Mos Def, and Diddy all showed their acting abilities, and I was impressed.This was not an easy film to watch. It didn't have a Hollywood ending or cheesy subject matter. The film shows us three generations of corrections officers, a grandfather, a father, and a son. The father and grandfather both have prejudiced mindsets, however the son doesn't. We learn that the father (Hank) doesn't love his son, and his son does an unlikely thing to show how upset he is about that, commits suicide in front of his father.We meet Leticia and her son Tyrell. Leticia's husband is given the death penalty, and she's naturally on-edge. She attempts to relax her nerves by smoking, drinking and lashing out at her obese progeny. As the movie progresses, Tyrell is tragically killed in a hit and run. From what the movie implies, all Leticia had was her son. She was never seen with parents or friends. After her husband and son die, she's all alone in life, until she meets Hank. Hank sees Leticia and her dying son on the side of the road and decide to stop and offer aid to them. He rushes them to the hospital, and from there, the two of them build a friendship, and then a relationship.Hank and Leticia both feel vulnerable because of the unfortunate occurrences they both lived. Their relationship, from the outside looking in, resembles two people who are yearning for a happiness they'd seemingly never come across and hoped to find in one another.The irony of Hank and Leticia's relationship is that Hank was one of the correction's officers who helped kill Leticia's husband, but she is oblivious to this.This motion picture will totally lure you into it's painful plot. Other reviews that I've read on this movie said that it was boring, and perhaps to some, it is; but if you give this movie your undivided attention from start to finish, there is hardly a boring moment in my opinion.I DO NOT recommend this picture for the faint of heart. It includes some of the most graphic scenes cinema has ever seen, and some of them are not easy to stomach. Also, that oh so popular sex scene...very candid and graphic. However, if you can handle it, by all means take a look at this heart-wrenching film.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tragedy is not the end of hope
This movie was not a big favorite with audiences so I knew there had to be something meaningful in it that the shallow public could not see or was not able to see or perhaps refused to see.It has one of the loveliest soundtracks I've ever heard which clings to the soul with a lingering and misty melancoly.A movie for for those who have known suffering.The Monster's Ball is a very bleak film yet it's also quite rare in that it's truly unpredictable.You won't find Hollywood trappings here. This is an Indy film, thoughtful with symbolism and a profound message. This movie caused a knee jerk reaction in parts of the black community, causing calls for boycotting and some racial tension.Simply put, a white racist death row prison guard, through a set of tragic and complex circumstances, begins to fall in love with the black wife of an inmate that he recently executed, of which she is totally unaware. Their anguished bond is the fact that they both have lost young sons.There is some blunt sexual content, however it's mainly queasy and uncomfortably painful rather than erotic. Still, this motion picture is not intended for children.This movie somehow captures the mood of yearning reconcillation between two devastated soulswho discover they have absolutely nowhere else left to turn, except to each other.This is a startling "feel bad" movie that is able to say: tragedy will not be permitted to become the end of all hope. Rather it states: When you're at the end of your rope, letting go can be the best thing you can do.Ultimately consoling in a way that seeks to unlock a warm, rainy night in your heart where abandoned innocence is finally given a chance to be regained.Atmospheric and moody with a poetic and mystical resolution that leaves you with a mesmerizing shimmer of hope."The title comes from a custom in medieval England where prisoners awaiting execution were called monsters. The night before their execution, their jailers would hold a feast known as a monster's ball as their final farewell." (Wikipedia)

Monster ball is a good film and story thanks.
Monster ball is a good film and it has a good story line I enjoyed watching this film thank you.
Franchement une perte de temps
De superbes acteurs que j'adore mais alors véritablement un film sans intérêt, sans trame, sans but. Si vous n'avez rien d'autre à faire vraiment mais une déception totale pour moi qui voulait voir ce film depuis longtemps et qui avait entendu des revus cinématographiques de ouf. Trop déçue.
ハル・ベリーが素晴らしく、美しい。
とても素敵な映画です。ハル・ベリーの演技も素晴らしいが、セックスシーンとクンニリングスシーンが息を呑むくらい美しく素敵です。そして、彼女の乳房・ウエスト・ヒップ・足・腕の曲線の美しさといったら！互いを求めて、むさぼりように愛し合う男女。大切に優しく、互いを確かめるようにハル・ベリーの性器やクリトリスを愛撫する男。「大切にして欲しいの・・・」愛される時、彼女がささやくこの言葉に全ての女性の気持ちがこめられているように感じた。
