Lit Review 2 - Monster

Right off the bat, I wish that we had gotten a little more backstory about Aileen's
childhood and whatnot. I was able to do some research and found out what a rough time she had
growing up, but it would have been relevant to show it in the movie. I think it's kind of weird
that Selby didn't question anything, and the broken-down truck just sort of became irrelevant. I
also think it's a little weird that they changed the name, because in real life Selby's name is Tyria
and that information can be found quickly. Charlize Theron did an absolutely amazing job with
this role..

Lit Review 1 - Girl in the Box

Right away, I don't like Cam. He said, “She didn't give me a choice. I told her not to scream.” You ALWAYS have the choice to not kill someone. It's not that hard to not kill people, I do it every day.
So much has changed since the 70s. I feel like women are much more careful about hitchhiking now because of everything that has happened and all the women that have been murdered.
This is the third movie like this that I’ve written a lit review for and I can't even imagine having to act in these roles, let alone living it. It must be so traumatic just having to act out these events.

Literary Review #1: Goodfellas

As I mentioned Henry first involved himself in a life of crime at the age of 12 when he
started doing small jobs for members of the Lucchese crime family. His first arrest was when he
was 16, now in the movie they depict it happening that he was selling stolen cigarettes for
Jimmy Conway and he was busted for stolen property; In reality he was arrested for trying to
buy new tires for his boss with a credit card that happened to be stolen. It is believed that this
first arrest was a setup by his boss to see if Henry was loyal and could be trusted with more
important work, and since Henry didn’t say anything or give up any names he was released and
congratulated by his criminal employers. After that day, the rest of his life was solidified with
the crime family.
