In today’s society women are always worrying about their appearance. Their perspectives on how they should present themselves are imposed by everything around them. Friends, celebrities and the media are the main reasons why women fee the need to live their lifestyle a specific way.

This film, primarily Charlize Theron, has received quite a bit of attention lately. For starters, Charlize has just recently won the Academy Award for best actress for her performance in this film. However, Theron did not spend much time in the makeup room in order for her to be transformed into an ugly beast, she portrayed Wuornos flawlessly. But even more astonishing is the fact that this movie is successful in getting the audience emotion to muster up some sympathy for the serial killer. In fact, at the end of this film I was more convinced in opposing the state of law punishment .To be honest, I saw this film after reading many reviews about how great Charlize was in this movie.
It’s not just that she was a women that impressed me but her outward denial to conform to a world that oppressed her and women all across Europe based on sex. Not many people have the courage to stand up for their beliefs but she did so, knowing that support for her cause was scarce to none. She defended a women’s place in society, as well as flourishing in the literary realm and exercising her ability to converse, challenge, and reason in the art of rhetoric.

Her movies, served as a catalyst for transferring her image. Had there been no filmed images of Monroe she could not have been the icon that she is today. The people that didn’t live during her time would have a hard time picturing her image and therefore she would not have the same influence that she has today, and her image would be a talked about legend. “Marilyn’s media-drenched image as a tragic dumb blond has become an American archetype,” (Signs of Life) this can be partially accredited to her presence in films.

And they have been criticised for over-focusing on her personal life at the expense of the substance of her policies. [5] We all know that she is unmarried, but have a partner; she is not religious and doesn’t want to have kids. I also think that the media for sometime too it too far when they focused on her background, such as the history of her partner instead of her policies.
