| Plot Summary |
| After a family tragedy, a racist prison guard re-examines his attitudes while falling in love with the African American wife of the last prisoner he executed. Set in the Southern United States, 'Monster's Ball' is a tale of a racist white man, Hank (played by Billy Bob Thornton), who falls in love with a black woman named Leticia (Halle Berry). Ironically Hank is a prison guard working on Death Row who executed Leticia's husband (Sean Combs). Hank and Leticia's interracial affair leads to confusion and new ideas for the two unlikely lovers. |

| Film Review |
| Leticia
Musgrove (Berry) is the wife of a Death Row inmate (Combs) and mother
of a troubled obese teenager. Hank Grotowski (Thornton) works, like
his retired father Buck (Boyle) and his own boy Sonny (Ledger), as
a guard at the pen, proudly professional to the bitter end. Leticia
is imprisoned by hardship and disappointment, Hank by the steely reserve
required for his job and by a disciplinarian machismo inherited from
a racist dad. What brings them together is chance; what they have
in common is death, pain, rage, loneliness. You'd expect this cast
to produce fine performances, and Berry and Billy Bob are merely the
laurel-stealing protagonists. Praiseworthy too is Schaefer's 'Scope
camerawork and Addica and Rokos' tough but sensitive script. Director
Forster doesn't hurry things; a hell of a lot happens before the leads
meet, and even then it's not cute. Violence (familial and institutional),
deep-seated distrust and hatred (this is the South) cast long shadows,
and an electric-chair scene ensures we remember love's seldom simple.
At the same time, Berry and Thornton play so well that the pitfalls
of miserabilist chic are mostly avoided: hope is always felt as a
presence or possibility. If certain heavier-handed sequences don't
quite gel, the (un-Hollywood) ending is nevertheless perfectly judged,
persuasive and unusually graceful. Reviewed by "Time Out" |
