Monster's Ball
Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Heath Ledger, Hale Berry and Peter Boyle.
I don't actually see how this won Hale an award, but I guess that is a
political Hollywood thing. Billy Bob stole the show as far as I'm concerned.
Set in Georgia where prejudice runs rampant, a family of caucasian correction
officers have troubles of their own. Love is an unknown feeling to them.
Another family is torn apart by the husband/father on death row.
A member of each family comes together to find happiness, love and an
unlikely union.
Disturbing, yet powerful drama, with unnecessary soft porn scenes.
Worth seeing soon.
