ストーリー
Monster's Ball follows the story of Billy Bob Thornton as Hank, a prison guard at a Southern penitentiary. When Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs), an inmate on death row, refuses to cooperate with his execution, Hank becomes enraged and cruelly taunts him during the electric chair procedure. After Lawrence's execution, Hank begins a relationship with his widow, Halle Berry as Leticia, whom he initially meets at a restaurant where she works as a waitress. Their relationship is tentative and complicated by Hank's authoritarian personality and Leticia's grief over her husband's death. Also intertwined in their lives is Sonny (Heath Ledger), Hank's racist son who becomes involved with Leticia's overweight son, Tyrell (Corin Nemec). The story explores the themes of redemption, loss, and interracial relationships against the backdrop of the Southern U.S.A.
概要
Monster's Ball is a powerful drama directed by Marc Forster that delves into the complexities of human relationships and emotions. While the film is notable for Halle Berry's groundbreaking performance as Leticia Musgrove, which earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress—making her the first Black woman to win in that category—the plot is not explicitly centered around racial themes or ethnic stereotypes, despite the interracial relationship between Hank and Leticia. Instead, Monster's Ball focuses on the broader narrative of loss, redemption, and the challenges faced by its characters in navigating their relationships amidst tragic circumstances.
