One last post for this evening; one that I wrote in the sleepy city of Quesnel about a movie I saw in the booming metropolis that is Prince George;
What do I know about being a whore in the United States? Yet I found Monster to be an extremely realistic portrayal of the travails and pains of a hooker who kills. Except for one scene where she kills an innocent she seems to be an entirely normal person. The filmmakers make you feel entirely sympathetic towards her. So much so that in the end when she is executed for her crimes my belief in life imprisonment is reinforced and my abhorrence for the death penalty is more enduring than ever.
