MONSTER'S BALL is a hard-hitting Southern drama tempered by a story of powerful life-changing love. It is the story of Hank (Academy Award winner ®, Billy Bob Thornton), an embittered prison guard working on Death Row who begins an unlikely but emotionally charged affair with Leticia (Academy Award winner ®, Halle Berry), the wife of a man under his watch on The Row.

In spite of the extremely graphic sex scene, it's amazing the kind of events, that cause some folks to think seriously about their racial bias, in order to over come it.Billy Bob's portrayal of a racist prison guard (from a racist family) was spot on, but what happened to snap him out of it was truly a twist of fate, with a sharp slap upside the head for added measure. Hope I get the chance to see the Director's cut for comparison one day.

This is pretty much where I stopped watching anything involving Halle Berry. A sex scene with a racist character that she wins an Academy Award for. Hmmm, ok, I guess I'm supposed to see that as something to be proud of.

They would never make a movie where a white woman gets sodomised by a black man... And then give her her first and only Oscar for it.
